Raising taxes on everyone in this economy will not sit well. If it has to be done then Obama should be honest and take the lead. His 'millionares and billionares' class warfare speeches must end.

Yes, because the only class warfare being conducted in this country is that of the warfare being brought down on the poor and they are being routed.

As Buffet has informed, if there is class warfare in this country...his class is winning. I say...winning big.

You know that old saying about the Devil's greatest triumph is convincing people he does not exist?

There is definitely class warfare going on, and it has been going on since Uncle Ronnie, but you are oblivious.

You are just thrilled with your AT&T pension and so grateful that you would vote for eliminating all taxes on those "job providers".

Sort of pathetic.

Norquist has allowed the GOP an out. Per his definition, allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire will not constitute a tax hike in his eyes. I don't like the man and his methods, but he's showing at least some statesmanship and trying to ease the bind he's put the GOP in. Now if only they'll listen....

If they don't want to use US Dollars, they can leave and go somewhere else. TAXES are the fees you pay for using US Dollars. The more you use, the more tax you owe.

Get it?

Or are you some sort of anarchist who wants to destroy the government?

WRONG.  A flat tax takes in a greater amount from those who make more money, does it not?  There is 47% of this country that pays no income tax.  Add the illegal population and you have millions more.

  You don't want a flat tax and a federal sales tax because you will likely being paying taxes for the first time in your life.  It is time for the unsuccessful to kick into the kitty, boys and girls.  Stop arguing for punitive taxation because you have failed at the game of life.

THAT IS A RIDICULOUS POST!!  Thank you for illustrating EXACTLY what is wrong with the country.  You liberals feel entitled to other people's wealth to support yourselves.  It isn't "US" versus "THEM". Tell me what poor man ever gave you a job????  Tell me what rich man spent his money to keep you from getting a job? 

Someone who is smart, ambitious, driven, industrious, educated and successful is your sworn enemy.  Why?  Is it because you are none of those things?  Money begets money.  A successful man builds himself his own tiny empire and he passes that down to his children.  A lot of times that empire is lost because his children are self-entitled little fucks who mismanage it and waste it.  Sometimes, however, the second generation builds it up higher (it sounds like you are radically opposed to that) and sometimes the following generations do the same.  And what is wrong with that?

What is wrong with that is that YOU aren't getting any of it.  Well...why should you!  Answer that question. What makes you entitled to someone else's wealth?  No man ever made money at my expense unless I willfully chose to spend my money for his product.  Got it??  No industrialist ever put his foot on my head and kept me down.  The ONLY entities that have ever made money at my expense have been the federal and state governments.

Quit your bitching.  The poor want money?  They work for the money they get, right?  It is called having a job, right?  A job is a privilege, right?  You can't demand to come and work me and no one can demand that you hire them, right???

What YOU want is for people who willingly choose NOT TO PARTICIPATE in our capitalist system and go out and bust their asses to get money handed to them.  That is an extreme position and one that is being advanced by your left wing, piece of shit president.

All he has to do is make more cuts, half the State Dept, end Energy, Education, EPA. End "foreign aid."
What seems to be his problem?
Hell he can cut the military too!
You'd have to talk to him personally to get any answers.

Taxing the rich will more won't solve the 14 trillion dollar dept problem we have in this country.

Rolling back the Bush Tax Cuts ( remember when we were told they were temporary??? If they're permanent, then the Bush Lied about them being temporary... ) would eliminate the deficit, and then we could use the surplus to pay down the debt.

Of course, you agree that income taxes aren't the only taxes. In fact when you cut services and raise contributions, that's exactly the same as a tax increase... except you fuck those who can least afford it.

Like I said. You don't like AMERICA? Leave. Simple enough. If you're that wealthy, USE THE FUCKING FREE MARKET AND MOVE TO THE COUNTRY WHERE YOU GET THE BEST DEAL. Otherwise, why anyone would carry water for the wealthy while getting fucked themselves is beyond me. It's like stockholm syndrome or something....
