Say you don't extend the Bush Tax Cuts for the top 1%ers, what do you get? 70-80 billion in more tax revenue? If that? How far is that going to go helping out the tens of millions on the other end of the income spectrum?

I cannot imagine a worse message to send about the equitability of the tax code. There are so many poor people that you might as well just let the super-rich get super-richer?
I have to admit, this is the mentality that Mitt Romney will bring to the Oval Office.
Well, I guess you won't like this either: my mentality is that you get to keep as much of what you earn as possible, supporting gov't only in the functions it is mandated to do under the constitution. Which does not include ANY of the entitlement programs.

And so you believe that the super-rich are less obligated to contribute to the funding of government entitlement programs than the middle class are?
I don't understand why taxes should be voluntary for the rich? It seems outright unpatriotic to me that a guy like Mitt Romeny would insist that he shouldn't have to pay his fair share of taxes.
Why wouldn't the super-rich simply enthusiatically volunteer to pay more in taxes to help the country that has given them so much?
Just because you're a failure Jim, not everyone else is.
Didn't say anything about voluntary taxes, every American should pay taxes to pay for the legitimate gov't functions it must perform. IMHO, the entitlement programs do not fall under that category. If the rich guys VOLUNTEER to pay more, that's fine. Mandating it though is another issue, which is what you guys want to do.
They are getting weathier because in a capitalism like we have created nothing succeeds like success.
the 1% are doing well
