Sorry:
IOW = in other words
BHO = Barack Hussein Obama
Money is fluid. Wealth is fluid. Who is poor today may be rich tomorrow. You can not really think that money is some fixed amount that is hoarded by the rich can you? That is just stupid.

hopefully if someone had 90% of their income confiscated they'd terminate with extreme prejudice the morons who imposed such fascism
People who tend to have conceded that they will never have what it takes to be successful are the ones who want government taking care of them and punishing those of us who have made the effort to be successful
Ponzi scheme? Well in that case, I suppose you've never purchased insurance either.So all your eggs are in a ponzy scheme racket? And now that it is pay time for you, forget that it is coming down like a house of cards in a tornado, screw the country, just give you your check?

what part of my post implied more taxes????
I didn't say the rich were clueless - you're putting words in my mouth. What I said was that Romney was clueless. There are lots of rich people who have a clue. Warren Buffet. Bill Gates.
Jryan, in your perfect world, would there be any upper class, middle class, working class?

Wealth is an abundance of money so as Y approaches X, Y can no longer be in the Y group they then go into the Z group. So what is your point? (I think that has illustrated my point quite perfectly)
Total bull****.
People don't "send in a check", not because they don't think that they should; They know that if they "sent in their check" it would do nothing to a 14 trillion dollar deficit. It has to be a collective effort.
Again Turtle, you have a trained legal mind and I would hope you could make an intelligent and rational case for lower taxation rather than advocate for criminal murder.
No, there would not be, but that is unrealistic because then there would be no incentive to go to college for 8 years (or 4 years or 2 years etc etc).
Ponzi scheme? Well in that case, I suppose you've never purchased insurance either.
I don't see it as his philosophy. My philosophy is that as more people join the "rich"/"wealthy" (Subjectively) the rich's "wealth income" decreases.
Um, how is raising taxes on the 'rich' a collective effort?
You really need to think these things trough a bit more.
You tend to put A LOT of words into my mouth.
So want Communism, but you know it doesn't work. At least that's a plus.
Because the middle class already pay higher taxes than the rich do. They are already doing their part.
I could buy that if we also agreed to raise taxes on the rich.
being older and more experienced in the ways of the world, I have seen thousands who say the same things you do. Those who plan on being winners don't spend a lot of time advocating rules or obstacles that will punish them when they become winners. Those who plan on never being successful tend to spend more time justifying attacks on the successful to slake their own feelings of inadequacy and lack of ambition
I'd agree to raise taxes on everyone. No one is exempt. We all pay "our fair share".

Right, I would even buy into everyone pays the 30%...
Problem solved, where is the red phone to tell someone important?
