Obama's Speech Today Was SPOT ON!!

[MarcATL]

We're NOT going to tax those of us who are most vulnerable and are going to ask those of us who have PROFITED the most from the system to PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.

It's all about SHARED SACRIFICE.

Remember that Republicans?

Kudos Obama...way to win back your support.

Umm "those of us who are most vulnerable" Pay no Federal Taxes WOW ya that was spot on

 

[California Girl]

I ain't sharing your sacrifice. Nor do I ask you to share mine. Pay your own fucking way through life. I am not up for 'redistribution'.

 

[kwc57]

MY profits are my profits. I'm the one who created the business plan, took out the loan, worked 80 to 100 hours a week and took all the risk. I did it to make a profit. I hired you because MY business was a success and I need help to satisfy the demand. I'm trading you a wage for your time and ability. Make no mistake that you somehow shared the risk and are due a larger portion of MY profits. Taking money from me for having initiative and giving it to you for showing up on time is NOT shared sacrifice. I have no obligation to give you more and you have no right to it. Go start your own damn business.

 

[Zoom-boing]

So GE and the like are going to start paying taxes?

 

[Mr. H.]

Where was the likes of Obama when I was flat fucking broke?
Now that my business is successful, he decides to put his hands in my pockets?

Be thankful its not the TSA

 

[rightwinger]

The debt is too large for gimmicks

ALL Areas must be up for scrutiny including taxes, social security, the military, entitlements.....

GOP wants to balance the budget on Medicare, Planned Parenthood and Public TV

 

[Zoom-boing]

Why don't they just cut xx across the board, all areas?

Massive deductions sure do have a way of taking those tax liabilities down to nothing, don't they?

 

[The Rabbi]

Because you can't engage in class warfare and energize your leftist base for your upcoming re-election.
Don't you know anything??

 

[boedicca]

Obama declared "Class Warfare" and "We Are All Serfs Of The Collective" as his 2012 Campaign Themes.

And he's now blaming Reagan along with BOOOOOSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!

 

[Old Rocks]

Want to bet?

 

[gekaap]

Because the GOP is only interested in using the bad economy as a talking point to further the same agenda that they'd have regardless.

Yeah you kinda lost me here because you imply that "the rich" need to pay their fair share as if "the poor" are paying taxes. This is what is known as "buying votes." Vote for me and I'll give you "the poor" something for nothing. Being there are more poor people than rich it's not as if Obama has to deliver on this, it's simply meant to make you think "fuck yeah!" and then vote for Obama.

 

[Political Junky]

Obama is doing what he campaigned on, thank God.

 

[MarcATL]

So GE and the like are going to start paying taxes?

That's the goal.

Let's hope the Republicans don't put a Kibosh to that.

Sure that's why the left fought so hard against 38 billion in budget cut's Ummmm ok

 

[SFC Ollie]

I didn't listen to his speech today. But i am certain that it was centered on raising taxes on the people who make the most.

News flash....They already pay their fair share. If you want to raise taxes it should be the same as a tax cut.

across the board

But that won't happen because anyone who does that will not be re-elected.

I've said it many times. Cut every single payment, every single appropriations, every check that the Federal Government writes by 10%. That includes my retirement. And I won't have a problem with that as long as everything is cut.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

I disagree. His proposals are absurd and meaningless. Punishing Taxpayers for his spending mess is just wrong. Blaming Taxpayers for Government spending us $15 Trillion into Debt really is unjust. Raising Taxes on those "Evil" Rich People is just more sad Community Organizer Class Warfare Bullshit. The Dummies really love that stuff but it's only being used to divide the People. Get spending under control first. Prove to the People that the Government can spend properly and balance the Budget. Taxpayers should not be left holding the bag on this one. They did nothing wrong. The Government created this awful mess and now they need to be held accountable. Blaming those "Evil" Rich People isn't gonna cut it.
