Obama smugly says, they (the rich) can afford it (higher taxes).

[EdwardBaiamonte]

They say they can afford many things but not supporting drunkin fool spending addict liberals who are $16 trillion in debt heading to $50 trillion. What is the point of yet another hit for the junkie liberals who will always spend far more than they dare to tax?

 

[WillowTree]

He's a thug too.

 

[g5000]

It is what every thief tells themselves when they rob someone. "They can afford it".

That somehow justifies their thievery.

He's talking about himself, too, isn't he?

Heck no. He is going to be living off our dime not his.

"I do think at a certain point you've made enough money."

Our dear leader Barack Obama, April 28, 2010

The can smugly tell him to fuck off to and leave. Gerard Depardieu did it in France qnd moved 800 yards to Belgium.

We wrote that book? That's where he got most of his money. After his term any speaking money he makes, how is that our dime?

It's not obvious? He's not just asking someone else to pay. That WOULD be smug.

I hope we can survive this idiot in chief..

why doesn't he the MaBelle donate all their earning from his books to the Guberment, you know put his money where his nutty mouth is

too stupid:

1) Barry is a perfect fool who has no idea how badly the money will be wasted

2) he's made millions off his ghost written books and will continue to, has huge pension for life, will get huge speaking fees, and new multi million book contract when he leaves office. No one ever did less than Barry for that kind of money. Its the best a communist has ever been paid by the capitalist system he hates so much. So paying an extra 3% means less than nothing to him.

But whatever you do, don't you DARE call obama a Socialist

You're right, in the Senate he voted way to the left of even Bernie Sanders so can better be described as a communist, just like his dear departed father from whom he absorbed communist dreams.

 

[Charles_Main]

The Rich Can afford it. the Problem is who Obama thinks is Rich. Couples making over 250,000 and individuals making over 200,000 are not Rich.

so true, most with that income live on the coasts. In NYC you lose 55% to all taxes, then 60K in rent, 6K for car and there is nothing left to speak of for all the other stuff.

Obama is a commie! In the real world the guy isn't even a socialist. Progressive yes, socialist/commie, no.

Communism - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

OK, using the definition of what a real socialist or commie are all about, please explain how Obama is one or the other.
Look, I didn't vote for the guy (write-in vote for Jon Huntsman) but I'm really sick of people showing their complete ignorance because some lame talking head knew the gullible would be too lazy to actually try to educate themselves to understand what a commie or socialist is in the real world. You folks are peeing in your pants in fear of something that isn't real!

If the middle class and poor are asked to sacrifice with spending cuts, why should the wealthy be excluded from sacrificing something for the country that gave them the opportunity to become wealthy?
I'm all for sacrifice by everyone, after all this is the United States!
