So he has almost all of the people who also do not pay for government. 47% pay no federal income tax. And 45% support the president. It fits, I think."Gallup showed that a 45 percent plurality of Americans support it, as did a 43 percent plurality in a recent CNN/ORC survey. Within that jobs plan there are popular individual proposals -- a CBS/New York Times poll on Friday showed majorities supported all the components tested. It has the feeling of a brick-by-brick strategy: the President can build his standing on the economy by singling out issues that are popular on their own."
Just an example of the idiots protesting. Sounds like this one really has it figured out. Tell me what the hell she is talking about

Really? I do not believe you.You're questions weren't directed at me, but I'd like to take a shot at answering them anyway.
First off, I'm not trying to take any of your earnings from you and I doubt that most people view taxation in that way.
How do you define a condition where one person is forced to labor for the benefit of another? I call it slavery? I suspect you call it Marxist progressive taxation.Second, I seriously doubt anyone's trying to enslave you or anyone else for that matter,
No. I work for my benefit only about half of my life. The other half I work for the city, county, state and Federal government with the feds taking most. That is slavery.Third as stated in my first statement, you're not working for anyone's benefit but your own and that of your family.
I prefer that fairy tales begin in the usual fashion. "Once upon a time...the one term Marxist president Obama saved or created 2 million jobs..."2 million jobs lost is better than 4 million jobs lost, that the stimulus prevented, and we also have improvements to our infrastructure, and improvement in stocks that are attributable to the stimulus.
Freedom and liberty are awesome. The Arab Spring, not so much. Why do you believe the Muslim Brotherhood is for freedom? Have you not read the Koran? Have you not seen what happens when Islamofascists have their way with a country?
Here's another example of the protesters. This is what it is about if you are truly interested in knowing.
I don't let flights of fancy make me all skeered. I prefer to let other countries choose what they determine to be freedom. Glad to see we are beginning to pull support from regimes that oppress people.
You are kidding, right? What is your poposal? What is the solution to the problem? Mine is to fire Obama, what is yours? This guy was very well spoken but what did he say and propose? You have to have solutions and neither you or any of the protesters have offered any. All talk and no action seems to be the liberal position.
He was very clear about the solutions needed: knocking on doors, building a movement, taxing the rich, re-regulation of banks, holding the wall street bankers accountable for the debacle, and jobs, jobs, jobs!
You are judged by the people who support your cause
Really?

Finished in your strawman creation, can we get back to the thread topic now?
no, he wasn't clear at all because none of what he says makes any sense nor will that create the jobs you claim you want. Where is the incentive to create jobs when you tax the rich more? Where does that money go? Regulating the banks does what to create jobs? What laws did Wall Street Break and how will more regulations create more jobs? I don't think you really think things through now give me solutions that make sense.
It makes perfect sense, that is why a majority of the country approves of Obama's jobs plan. Our own history shows us that the incentive to get rich didn't somehow disappear when tax rates for the rich were even double what they are today. The money goes for creating jobs until the market place can recover. That is the number 1 priority. Reinstating the Glass-Steagall Act keeps commercial banks and investment banks from combining and creating wild speculation that brought about the Great Depression and the Great recession, which cost us millions of jobs. These are all things that most of us see clearly, and more and more that are willing to stand up and protest. Day 31 today.
You confuse plurality with a majority in that I have not seen over 50% support the job plan. I am still waiting for you to explain your solution how to the problem. How is taxing the rich going to create jobs?
How is penalizing Wall Street going to create jobs?
I just told you, it does not allow commercial banks to combine with investment banks.Reinstating Glass-Steagall that Clinton signed does what?
Do you believe it is the government's role to create jobs?
If so how do you explain the Obama record of adding 4.2 trillion to the debt and having a 2.6 million net JOB LOSS?
What I see quite clearly are leftwing groups who want revolution not reforms. I see deadbeat, braindead leftwing activists trying to destroy the U.S. economy and capitalism. Support for this group is misguided and short sighted but like with everything else people like you need to learn the hard way.
Catawba;1059880522]You do not understand the definition of plurality even though I provided it to you directly. Eliminating the tax breaks for the rich can fund jobs temporarily, stimulating the economy, just as proposed in the Jobs Act.
Holding those accountable for their speculation with people's life savings will help prevent future recessions and depressions which result in massive unemployment.
I just told you, it does not allow commercial banks to combine with investment banks.
As a temporary measure when the private market is unable to do so, which it has been for the last 5 years.
Your numbers are bogus and have been disproved over and over.
Yes you see all sorts of things that aren't there.
You speak of buffers while "better long term solutions" are being made up, but I ask you do you really believe that Barack Obama is working on "better long term solutions?" Do you trust that Obama is really doing that?
Ten years of taxes to pay for one year of bailouts for public employees, and more money laundering for Obama's millionaire bundlers is not recovery.
And you were okay with 8 years of no new taxes to pay for two wars and an unfunded prescription drug program? Again, you guys act like the deficit only occurred since January 20, 2009. Get real!!!
No, conservatives were not OK Medicare D.
Obama will create more debt than all who came before him, with nothing to show for it.

No problem. You choose not to see.I don't let flights of fancy make me all skeered. I prefer to let other countries choose what they determine to be freedom. Glad to see we are beginning to pull support from regimes that oppress people.
So let's just pass those parts.Well, let's see...
- Expedite U.S. pattents in order to promote new products and spur domestic manufacturing. Two important components to improve GDP could come out of this: consumption and exports....check.
- trade deals with India, Korea and South America: Increased manufacturing and again exports...check.
So, instead of keeping our cities streets safe from crime - because as we all know once the economy begins to faulter, the crime rate esculates - you'd rather not provide the States any aid to keep cops on the beat?
Look, I totally understand your point and Conservative's on this "State's rights" matter, but if the states are just barely starting to get their financial houses in order, why would you be opposed providing them with the financial aid they need to continue to protect and serve the public's interest?
As for the call to cut spending, I'd say trimming an initial $1.5T over 10-years is a damned good start; and the President has asked for more...upwards of another $3.5T. You can find the President's Deficit Reduction Plan at Whitehouse.gov.
