And back to the REAL topic:
Can ANYBODY on here who is FOR raising taxes on the rich...please explain HOW that is going to help get us out of debt?
If they raise the income tax rate it still will NOT RAISE TAXES ON THE RICH BECAUSE THEY EARN MONEY FROM CAPITAL GAINS.
(by the way...Mitt Romney's tax plan for capital gains is to leave it at 15% for people like him. And for middle class people to lower it to ZERO which would help all of us invested in the stock market and our retirement plans. Obama wants to raise capital gains tax on EVERYONE)
And also....the govt. is SPENDING 10.6 BILLION DOLLARS A DAY.
6.8 MILLION DOLLARS PER MINUTE.
Not put those two thoughts together: The wealthiest will not pay one thin dime more with income tax rates raised because they earn capital gains + the govt. spends more in 29 minutes than Mitt Romney's entire net worth.
And then tell me WHY you would want to raise taxes?
Hell...why are so many people these days sucking up to the federal govt? Jesus! They are all getting rich and funneling money back and you idiots want to give them MORE????

Who said it was easy to be rich? Who really believes its easy not having shit and having to worry will the lights stay on? What to get that big $300 in welfare? It cant be just a country of just owners it doesnt work. You need a strong middle class, thats what makes the economy work.
Robbie you are a smart man,do you think wars cost nothing? Home land security is free? See when you lower taxes during a time of war.Thats when your spending more.So you build up the debt quicker .And actually spending as gone down during Obama. I know in the imaginary right wing world he is just throwing cash out of windows. Also Robbie where were you when Dick Cheney was saying deficits dont matter? Didnt hear a sound from you or Minte. Debt is a like a rolling ball, it doesnt start at zero when the new president comes in. Also a the big one is W didnt have the war on the books, Obama put it on the books.
