    That Obama is on camera with someone saying "I want to spread the wealth around"???

    Seriously!??!

    I'm hearing this 3rd party but apparently someone asked him why under him he would "get taxed more" and his response was this??

    Probably because if you take away peoples money (more so than everyone elses) you take away incentive to do better an earn more. No one likes to be taxed, rich and poor alike.

    Not necessarily, this is not something that can be confirmed as that's a personality trait, some people are hard workers by pride and nature, not just because of a cash incentive. Shockingly, some people actually LIKE their jobs and will do what they can to get up higher on the ladder.

    I don't consider it to be a tax increase so much as a reversal of a foolish tax cut for the rich that never should have been enacted.

    There were plenty of rich people during the Clinton years, your fat ass can survive on those tax levels. Fat ing greedy sloth.

    If you look at purely economical theory, then if you eliminate incentives people will not be as hard-working, inventive or innovative. Everything will suffer.

    I will say this. Rich people may pay more taxes, but they sure as also get a lot of benefit from the government. Don't fool yourself into thinking that the rich don't know how to make government work for them.

    I'll give you an example for what I just said. Who gets the most out tax payer funded military protection of the Persian Gulf region? Me, or an Exxon Mobile CEO?

    The wealthy can afford to cleverly hide their money for a few years while circling the wagons. Raise capital gains tax when it won't produce any more revenue? That sounds like a swell fair idea. It will decrease entrepreneurial endeavors while investors flock to safer investments with just as much return? that, minor details. These poor idiot sheepvoters don't care about that.


    We'll see how many Obamaites can go without a non-government job for a few years.

    The Repugs have done nothing but concentrate wealth to the top 5%, while currently spreading taxpayer $ to the ups in the financial industry.

    T_park, how about replacing "distribute the wealth" with "de-concentrate the wealth" that the Repugs have spent so much energy concentrating at the top.

    If it were anyone else I would agree with you.

    TFat consistently parrots this nonsense about how horrible it would be for him to pay higher taxes when he hasn't even studied Obama's tax plan. Quite simply, he's an uneducated moron who got lucky and took over his family's preexisting business.

    The bottom line is Bush's tax cuts for the rich were completely irresponsible given how much we were spending. It's time to let those expire and let the rates go back to what they were during the Clinton years.

    Ahhhhh not true. Many people don't mind being taxed, to a reasonable extent, because they believe that money is needed to help society in general.

    I must not be rich, because I tried to "enact" one of these benefits in the form of replacing older "enviromentally harmfull" tractors with newer "more friendly" tractors but heres the rip.

    I don't run enough miles to qualify. Heres the other rip, my tractors are still going to be illegal in 8 years.


    So what Uncle Sam has told me, yeah you don't qualify to get help to purchase 200 thousand dollar tractors, but the ones you one? Get rid of em.

    Suck it up and spend every dime you have cause we say so.


    So yeah, I guess I don't qualify as rich, but Obama says I am.

    Which one is it?

    I'm gonna ask you again, to stop lying, because in fact, that is not correct one bit.
