I was hoping for an honest answer-one that I already knew but coming from youAsked and answered.
I told you it was to inform you that you introducing race into a discussion about taxation did not advance the discussion.
What part of that do you not understand now that you have asked it several times and the answer is still the same?
The whining here - to use one of your pet words - is being done by you and your friends on the far right.
And where are those quotes from me where I called you a RACIST in this thread as you allege? Better yet, where is your apology for making false allegations about me?

Why would my answer be different now that the nine words I gave you last night and every time you have brought up the same question?
I guess what several of us were looking for was an explanation of the intent behind your comment
two factory workers who bought a home together at the right time and invested in a company pension could easily be considered rich by your master when they retired.
if you don't like what CEO's are paid buy a company and pay your CEO less or get enough votes to demand that the board reduce pay. that is the proper way to do that. its not the government's role to do that or to tax those who do well just to make people like you feel less butt-hurt about not being well paid as those executives
Sorry, but that's not a solution, though I do think that there are serious problems in our system of corporate governance. So we're left with the fact that the rich are consuming an ever increasing piece of the economic pie, and are, accordingly, paying a bigger -- though not a PROPORTIONATELY bigger -- piece of the tax pie.
And for the 100th time, drop the idiotic, ad hominem envy schtick.
you all would have a point if the top one percent were paying less of the income tax than their share of the income. No one can take your petulant whining about the rich seriously if they are even half honest when the top one percent make 22% of the income but pay 40% of the income tax (and throw in the death tax as a surcharge and it goes up a bit)
We have a progressive tax code. That's how it works. Granted, it's not nearly as progressive as it used to be when socialists like Harry Truman and Ike Eisenhower were running the show.
Romney gave 7 million to charity. what did Kerry (a guy who married into his money) give?
Kerry filed separately from his wife -- who has all the money. He reported charitable donations amounting to over 20% of his personal income ... to Romney's 11 or 12%? BTW, aren't Mormons required to tithe 10%?
so Kerry paid for the yacht based on what he earned? LOL
No, but we don't have his wife's tax returns, AFAIK.
To answer my own question: yes, Mormons ARE required to tithe 10% of their income to charity.
so what? its still voluntary. 7 million to charity and millions to the government and the parasite pimps who are called democrat politicians will whine its not enough
You don’t seem to get it. Who’s money do you think they are talking about when they discuss the ‘$2t sitting on the sidelines’? Who’s money was it that caused the stock market to plummet to around 6k in ’08. And then who’s money has been put BACK into the market to enable it to reach around 12k in the last few weeks? WE are the ones moving our money and some of us are about to retract AGAIN. What are YOU going to do about it? Whine? That'll help...:lamo
And I asked previously what affect is this 5% going to make? With the AVERAGE annual projected realized capital gains 2010-2015 being $740b, 5% will yield $37b annually. THIS is your plan to reduce an average $1t deficit…think again.

Excuse #112 of why "we can never do what we pretend to actually believe in..."We were in recession when Dems controlled both houses. Never a good time for any kind of tax hike.
I think most reasoned and rational folks will see the constant stream of pathetic excuses as precisely what they are, and the mindless hacks will continue to swallow everything without so much as getting a single dribble on their chin...They did not control a super majority proof congress, do you think the working class have forgotten that?
Comedy gold, man...dont ever stop being you! :lamoActually I was following the principle of meeting you at your own level. No use in talking over your head.

quit whining. to become rich these days you no longer can be big dumb and strong like factory workers could be in the 50's and make a good living. You have to have advanced technical skills and that comes with having advanced education. people who eschew education are falling behind

You are making no sense.
If you wanna claim some national debt as your own - welcome to the jungle. But leave me out of your extremist fantasies.
