What if this guy gets his big break in a few years and wants to leave his fortune to his children, so they don't have to live in a trailer park, anymore? I know, it's not likely to happen with Obama in office, but, what if it did?
If we define wealthy as Obama does then I would love the middle class to sudsidize me. They can even come over and wash my Jag.
Each to their own opinions. I think your post exhibits a certain amount of idiocy.
Yeah, because you Libbos are smarter than the rest of us. Right?
How do you figure that?
If Obama would stop killing jobs, there would be more tax revenue.
Ya like back when we had full employment and no debt. Wait when was that again?
What part of, "after wasteful spending is cut," do you not understand?
So did Bush before him. I agree we are spending too much and big cuts need to be made. But that is only part of the problem. We are still in recovery from one of the worst recessions in history, and we continue to reduce our revenue by continuing to provide the tax cuts to the wealthy. Same mistake Reagan and Bush made. Unless you have enough revenue to pay your bills you are always going to have debt.
Reagan and Bush both increased spending and reduced revenues. Obama has proposed reducing the percentage of spending back to the days of Eisenhower, and increasing revenue by eliminating the tax cuts for the wealthy. That makes more sense to me if the goal is to reduce our National debt.
Or that recession Obama caused before he was elected... oh wait?
You mean the recession we don't have anymore? Now we have 10% unemployment and inflation
True. Economically speaking, we are out of the recession. Great point!
It's not there. And I think a CNNpolled show some 78-81% (depending on which one we're talking about) said not to touch those two. There's that disconnect again.
The military is more popular in terms of cuts, and there are easier places there to cut. But, fighting two wars, something we didn't have to do, won't be easily ended or dealt with. So costs will continue.
Clearly, we need to keep cutting taxes for the rich.
I mean, if we taxed them more... they might not be able to afford as many houses. And that is not acceptable.
