You assume his plan would help the middle class.Any attempt to help the idle class will never become law anyway, the GOP doesn't want to see that... its socialism. Perhaps the GOP cold try to raise taxes on the middle class by 20 percent and lower the 1 percent fat cats by 20 percent. I will bet everything I own there are some who believe this would create jobs or something.
It will not, which is why we are against it.
What you got is a mental illness that should have been treated long ago. Bush owns you.More BULLSHIT PREMISES not REFUTING FACTS GOT IT
I would say we all benefit from public transportation,roads,welfare,snap and a million other ways.
But who pays for it all?
You mean the $18 trillion in debt since Reagan cut taxes for the rich?
Reason and logic are far beyond your ability. Stick with what you know. Sitting and drooling....Oh, look, the moron still thinks the pie remains the same size forever.Only economic retards think there is a such thing as "the" pie. The economic pies grows and shrinks. But what is certain is obamanomics is benefiting the top earners and convincing his dupes that the Republicans didit. obama creates problems, blames them on the other guy and his useful idiots buy it.Do you REALLY think there is more than 100% to the pie??
Wealth is a Zero-Sum Game
So you 'think' there is more than 100% of a pie to split up huh? lol
And the moron can't use reason, logic OR HONESTY to dispute there isn't more than 100% of the pie, AND the bottom 90% has lasy MUCH of what they had in 1980 of that PIECE OF THE PIE
CBO finds that, between 1979 and 2007, income grew by:
275 percent for the top 1 percent of households,
65 percent for the next 19 percent,
Just under 40 percent for the next 60 percent, and
18 percent for the bottom 20 percent.
The share of income going to higher-income households rose, while the share going to lower-income households fell.
The top fifth of the population saw a 10-percentage-point increase in their share of after-tax income.
Most of that growth went to the top 1 percent of the population.
All other groups saw their shares decline by 2 to 3 percentage points.

Just more pandering to one group at the targeted expense to another.It appears that Obama's upcoming State of the Union will propose tax hikes on wealth investors to expand tax credits for higher education and child care for the US middle class.
"President Barack Obama is proposing new taxes on the wealthiest Americans that would limit their profits from investments and make it harder for them to pass assets to heirs.
"Obama, who will promote the plan during his Jan. 20 State of the Union Address, will use much of the proceeds -- $320 billion over 10 years -- to expand tax credits for higher education and child care and create a new break for two-earner couples.
"The White House released details of the plan Saturday.
“'What you’re seeing here is really dedicated middle-class tax relief to really get at that problem of middle-class wage stagnation,' said Harry Stein, director of fiscal policy at the Center for American Progress, a Washington group aligned with Democrats."
"Obama’s tax plan faces opposition in the Republican-controlled Congress, where lawmakers want to cut tax rates and curtail targeted breaks. The two parties agree more on business tax changes, though an accord on that isn’t close."

Get back to Me when you look up the tax revenue from 1800 and compare it to today's tax revenue.
Then get back to Me after you look up the $$ size of the GDP in 1800 and compare it to today.
Then get....well, even you must get the idea.
Don't speak to Me again until you grow a fucking brain.
Raise the capital gains rate by 13%?How about if he rolled the top marginal income tax rate to what it was at the same time (under Reagan)? 28%

Sounds like a good staring point.
There is a finite amount of income earned by Americans every year, and the percentage earned by the richest 1% continues to grow at the expense of the majority of workers.Oh, yay!
The tired argument that I can only get fat at the expense of the skinny.
Do you really believe there is a finite amount of wealth to be made?

Those people pay a much larger share of their income in taxes than the Koch brothers, and their incomes would be much higher today if the Koch brothers hadn't hoarded all the productivity gains since 1970. Fairness begins with income distribution.A family of four pays zero income taxes until the gross income is at least $47,000 based solely on the makeup of the family. If those people are going to participate in society, they need to start paying their fair share of being part of it.

Redistribution. Making money means to took it from somebody else. I don't know how they figure what the set amount the pie is in any given year. Is the stock market part of the pie? People don't make money there? It doesn't make any sense.A finite amount of income?There is a finite amount of income earned by Americans every year, and the percentage earned by the richest 1% continues to grow at the expense of the majority of workers.Oh, yay!

So how can you raise the minimum wage?

We don't operate on a zero sum game. The pie grows and can continue to grow. Your response is nothing more than a desire to blame someone.There is a finite amount of income earned by Americans every year, and the percentage earned by the richest 1% continues to grow at the expense of the majority of workers.Oh, yay!
