You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

[The Rabbi]

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.


More : You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot cut taxes on the wealthy, fight two wars, introduce a poorly conceived Medicare drug plan, turn a blind eye to Wall Street corruption, bail them out after their utter failure to the tune of a trillion dollars and then ask for the position of "responsible accountant" after losing the White House.

You're right.
So why would anyone support Obama?
That is who you mean, right?

Libs are still doing the Karl Marx thing.

 

[The Rabbi]

Every time taxes are lowered the top income brackets send MORE money to the treasury in the form of taxes, not less.
So those in favor of a tax hike must want the wealthy to keep more of their money.

An amazingly short memory no doubt caused by lack of insight due to rabid partisanship.

oh and one more time, I know this is inconvenient but it is what it is, taxs are going up on the "rich"-


•Starting in 2013, the bill adds an additional 0.9% to the 2.9% Medicare tax for singles who earn more than $200,000 and couples making more than $250,000.

• For first time, the bill also applies Medicare’s 2.9% payroll tax rate to investment income, including dividends, interest income and capital gains. Added to the 0.9% payroll surcharge, that means a 3.8-percentage point tax hike on “the rich.” Oh, and these new taxes aren’t indexed for inflation, so many middle-class families will soon be considered rich and pay the surcharge as their incomes rise past $250,000 due to tax-bracket creep. Remember how the Alternative Minimum Tax was supposed to apply only to a handful of millionaires?

• Also starting in 2013 is a 2.3% excise tax on medical device manufacturers and importers. That’s estimated to raise $20 billion.

• Already underway this year is the new annual fee on “branded” drug makers and importers, which will raise $27 billion.

• Another $15.2 billion will come from raising the floor on allowable medical deductions to 10% of adjusted gross income from 7.5%.

• Starting in 2018, the bill imposes a whopping 40% “excise tax” on high-cost health insurance plans. Though it only applies to two years in the 2010-2019 window of ObamaCare’s original budget score, this tax would still raise $32 billion—and much more in future years.

• And don’t forget a new annual fee on health insurance providers starting in 2014 and estimated to raise $60 billion. This tax, like many others on this list, will be passed along to consumers in higher health-care costs.

And nobody can tell us how rolling back some of the tax cuts they've enjoyed over the past 30 years is going to DESTROY them.

That's hogwash.

Holding back any additional wealth will destroy the rich. They will throw a tantrum and not give us our jobs anymore

You must want rich people to send less money to the US Treasury. Why?

 

[Wiseacre]

" And nobody can tell us how rolling back some of the tax cuts they've enjoyed over the past 30 years is going to DESTROY them. "


No, it won't destroy them, but it also won't incentivize them to invest here in the US economy either. Right now money from both foreign and domestic investors is not flowing into our country, except to hold our Treasuries. It's financing growth in emerging markets elsewhere. Allowing the tax cuts to expire is a de facto tax hike and will not help the current situation.

Then how do you explain the current almost double digit unemployment rate?

Of course you will have a job. You can go wipe their asses. You can wash their dishes and pay them back when you accidentally break a glass.

You understand money about as well as Palin does. The 'rich' have enough money to support their families for several generations without any help from you!

The internet is an amazing thing. Only on the internet have I seen people who believe that the rich need the help of hourly workers.

Roughly 95% of this country's wealth is in the hands of 1% of the people. Trust me, they do NOT need your advocacy nor your help.

Divide and Conquer Strategy, also known as “Divide and Rule Strategy” is often applied in the arenas of politics and sociology. In Divide and Conquer Strategy one power breaks another power into smaller, more manageable pieces, and then takes control of those pieces one by one. It generally takes a very strong power to implement.

this is true, but first it has to be making a profit for someone. Our current public education system doesn't do that enough so it has to be undermined to the point that someone can come in and start making a buck "reforming" it.

The Incredibly Rich will remain rich. High taxes just prevent middle class people from obtaining financial security and independence...can't have that in a Big Government State!

If the period between 1950 and 1980 was so prosperous what was the purpose of The Great Society?

To make it even better, which it did.

Then came Ronald Reagan, the messenger from General Electric.

Oh, they are already doing that. Well then, they will out source and move to Siberia.

Point being, we need to free ourselves of corporate control.
