I point out the reality of what happens whenever we try to hit the wealthy with huge taxes and you call ME blind? Our State isn't failing because we're not collecting enough taxes...our State is failing because we're spending the revenue that we DO collect so foolishly that there's no way in hell of paying for all the things we're obligated to now!Absurd. We have ever rising income inequality, ever increasing poverty, homelessness, high unemployment, failing schools, etc..., but you guys are blind to it. The richest nation the world has ever known, refuses to help the less fortunate.Feel free to "target" the wealthy, Gipper but don't expect them to sit around waiting for you to take their wealth! You'll raise taxes on the wealthy...they'll see the tax increase coming...and they'll put their money into tax free shelters. It's what they ALWAYS do! Then they'll wait for the decline in the economy that will inevitably follow and watch those who voted for higher taxes get voted out of office. Tax cuts will follow and they'll once again put their wealth into play! Face reality...the wealthy are really good at one thing...preserving their wealth!Not really, if it’s targeting the wealthy.And a tax increase in the midst of a recession is just plain idiotic!
We live in a failed state, in part thanks to you guys.
How can you make the claim that the United States refuses to help the less fortunate? We not only spend trillions on our own less fortunate...we spend billions on the rest of the world's less fortunate!
It’s great to be a big corporation in the US but don’t tell cons, because it blows up their narrative of blowing the wealthy.I point out the reality of what happens whenever we try to hit the wealthy with huge taxes and you call ME blind?

We have layer upon layer of safety net upon layer of safety net.
Money is not the issue.
WHAT A COUNTRY!
