We have a SPENDING problem- not an income problem.

Taxes are never the problem.
The Obama budget is 3.8 FUCKING TRILLION.
The revenues are 2.1 trillion.
Tax everyone that makes over 250K a year ALL OF THEIR FUCKING INCOME AT 100% TAX RATE.
And we raise about another trillion dollars so we ARE STILL IN THE FUCKING RED.
And then the next year all of those folks ARE BROKE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT STOLE ALL THEIR $$$ and then what?
You liberals are fucking stupid fuck head dumb asses.
SPENDING IS THE PROBLEM.

This is one of those signs of the end of the world.
I think they Mayans might have been right...

We have a SPENDING problem- not an income problem. The Feds could confiscate every penny earned over $250,000 and there would still be a deficit. Tax increases will not solve the problem. We need to CUT SPENDING. Who could oppose that?
I don't oppose that at all. We can start with defense spending since returning money to the taxpayers via SS is not spending.
But there is a reason it was called TEMPORARY.
Yet Obama extended the "temporary" tax cuts while he had a super majority in the Senate and an unassailable majority in the House. Why was that?
Simply letting Bush's TEMPORARY tax cuts expire would be a good start. Who could oppose that?
Fine... as long as the other temporary cuts that ~47% of the populace have had for a long while also expire to have them start paying in to the federal income tax fund... and have that salary floor expire as well

Bush tax cuts: removed more taxpayers from the middle class from Federal income tax roles than gave tax cuts to those over 250K in income.

All for it... bailouts too... all government entitlements need to go
But that does not take away from the fact that ~47% pay nothing, and in many cases get more money back, in federal income taxes.. and this must stop

This is why Ben Stein is stupid. The reason millionaires pay 12% in taxes is because they live off of dividends which are taxed at 12%. Everyone, including the little old lady down the street, pays 12% on dividends. That means the only way to make the rich pay higher taxes is to raise the tax on dividends which would affect everyone not just the rich.
Saying you agree with raising taxes on the rich is an empty statement and either Ben Stein knows this and figures you are too dumb to figure it out or he doesn't care and wants to look like he does care.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....
$100,000 bet.
The Bush tas cuts removeD FAR, FAR more middle class from the tax roles than gave cuts to the those with incomes over 250K.
Suffer in your own ignorance but the facts are in.
Today 49% of all Americans PAY NO Federal income tax.
Due to the Bush tax cuts.
The average tax cut for the Bush tax cuts was $1586.
If cuts are repealed this is what will happen to a couple:
$15,000 -25,000 income taxes go up 350 a year
25k taxes go up 700 a year
35,000-50,000 income taxes go up 900 a year
75,000 taxes go up $1700 a year
100,000 taxes go up $2600 a year
125,000 taxes go up $3300 a year
150,000 taxes go up $4000 a year
175,000 taxes go up $5000 a year
200,000 taxes go up $5600 a year
250K taxes go up 7000 a year.
I know you do not understand facts but just try a little harder there Moe, you will catch on soon when we are a 3rd world nation because of gullible and naive folk that actually believe the "the rich do not pay their fair share" BULL SHIT.
WELL DUH!

Get rid of the tax loopholes, the subsidies, tax breaks and the EIC and all the other give aways.
Wonder how much revenue that would generate?
The idiots need to cut spending, not raise taxes. They just dont' seem to get it.
