Republicans live in terror the rich might actually pay their fair share.
Fair share LOL.....
You pay 90% and I'll pay 10%.... that's FAIR in leftard world.
Idiots.... all of them.
No, JoeBlowhard... we're not worried about what the rich do, or do not pay at all.
I don't care what Warren Buffet pays, or doesn't pay.
I'm against taxes to begin with, regardless. See, you see politicians giving out political handouts, kick backs, and bad programs like Solydra, and think that's good. I see that and think it's bad.
I want less money blown, not more.
Further, higher taxes drive away capital. The whole point of the article was....it's not working. The rich packed up their jobs, their wealth, their companies, their resources, and left the country.
France s Reckoning Rich Young Flee Welfare State - World - CBN News - Christian News 24-7 - CBN.com
France's day of reckoning has arrived: Its wealthy, best and brightest are saying goodbye to a nation they believe doesn't want them to succeed or become affluent.
According to one poll in
Le Point, half of all young adults in France would leave the country if they could because the future looks so bleak.
It's pretty tough to be successful in a nation where the president says he doesn't like rich people and where the taxes keep going higher and higher. Consequently, the wealthy have hit the exits, and an increasing number of business people say they've had enough.
French journalist Anne-Elisabeth Moutet drew a lot of fire from the French establishment and media for
writing about the problem for the London Telegraph -- so much fire that the attacks on her became a
story itself.
"The French have had it," Moutet told CBN News. "You've reached a state which is basically, 'I'm mad as h*** and I'm not going to take it anymore. '"
"It's the rich, the entrepreneurs, and the young who say, 'If I can, I will leave. If I speak a foreign language, I will leave. If I can go and create something somewhere else, I will leave,'" she explained.
That's how your system works.... or doesn't work.
Every time you try and nail the rich, you end up screwing yourself. It's like the 1990 yacht tax. We're going to stick it to the rich, because only rich buy yachts.
Of course... the rich stopped buying yachts. At least high taxed American yachts. They bought them from other countires. Meanwhile the lower and middle class workers who made the yachts... they lost their jobs. Good job JoeBlewit! You sure made them "pay their fair share", and screwed over all those workers who were left unemployed. Well done stupid. You sure showed them a thing or two!
Idiots.
