Biden: Wealthy Americans Must Pay More Taxes to Show Patriotism
WASHINGTON — Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that paying more in taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans. In a new TV ad that repeats widely debunked claims about the Democratic tax plan, the Republican campaign calls Obama’s tax increases “painful.”
Under the economic plan proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of American taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.
Although Republican John McCain claims that Obama would raise taxes, the independent Tax Policy Center and other groups conclude that four out of five U.S. households would receive tax cuts under Obama’s proposals.
“We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people,” Biden said in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: “It’s time to be patriotic … time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut.”

Talk about being in your face with CLASS ENVY!
Hey, "Christians" stop the coveting. Be happy with what you have. Strive for more but EARN IT YOURSELF. I'm also sick and tired of humanists posing as "Christians".
Obama/Biden: The Robin Hood Ticket!
Yeah, sure, Joey. I got the Poster Child for your campaign RIGHT HERE...
I believe it is now safe to say that Charlie is unpatriotic as an American. And I thought it was patriotic to not wear a flag pin.....
>> I believe it is now safe to say that Charlie is unpatriotic as an American.
LOL! Darn good point!
Ergo, the 40+% of Americans who pay no federal income taxes are by Joe’s definition unpatriotic. Foot tickles tonsils once again.
Bite me, Biden.
So, Biden wasn’t being cheap when he made very few charitable contributions over the years . . . he was just being hyper-patriotic.
Biden dives into the cement pool, headfirst.
Uh, has this putz written his check yet? Or has Kerry (who served in Viet Nam, dontcha know)? Kennedy? Pelosi? Hello??
The real joke is that too many of the “rich” will vote for him and Onada.
Biden tries to say the dramatic at every turn and this doesn’t make any sense. I just can’t imagine Biden being a heart beat away from the Presidency.
Time for Atlas to shrug. Is Biden channeling Cuffy Meigs?
I love it when the dems circular arguments come back to them. It gets harder and harder for them to speak expedient speak. MSM covers up pretty well for them. But internet has changed the dynamic. And to think that AlGore invented the internet. Wow.
Even then you only qualify if you DON'T itemize.
What a lying putz.
Does anyone believe for a moment that taking money from someone else is going to make their lives any different?
Has that Demoncrat PAID HIS TAXES YET?
Heck, he’s got more money than his base.
He sucks em dry and keeps them in “vicitm” mode at the same time.
AMAZING!
Has this arse ever heard of the Boston Tea Party?
We are not supposed to be a nation of HIGH TAXES to subsidize everyone.
Ditto!
Maybe the Obomination to pass the plate to his ELITE Hollyweird friends. I’m sorry to say but I can’t afford, 30K a plate to be in the same room with the Obomination. Ask Hollyweird to be “more patriotic” and pay MORE.
Hey Joe...charity starts at home.(In your case, not so much). Here's Biden's tax return (above)and the amount of charity he donated the past 10 years.
This doorknob and his underqualified master advocate policies that will increase my annual tax bill by up to $5,000.
So my tax increase could exceed ten years of Biden charity? Pompous bastard!
Uh, Joe, pardon me for asking the obvious, but if it is Patriotic for the wealthy to pay more taxes, why isn’t it Patriotic for the poor to pay more taxes?
It’s your patriotic duty, just as Karl Marx and Jesus said. < /S >
Playing the devils advocate...
Why is it the government not bailing out the tens of thousands of little guys that have lost their jobs, homes, and thousands more that are going into foreclosure, losing everything, yet the government is bailing out multi-billion dollar companies that are going belly up?
How is it that the little guys are losing their a$$es yet the multi-billion dollar companies get bailed out on the little guys dime?

Ah, but they have no money! You’re supposed to SUBSIDIZE them more because YOU have too much! It’s economic justice.
Sickening, isn’t it ... .
You first, Joe.
Sure, Joe, you first. You make more money than me. My husband is on Social Security and I work at Dollar Tree. Are we rich?
If a Repub or Independent said that, they'd be run out of town on a rail, but Sen. Biden gets away with this?
Why doesn't someone capture that and use that to delineate Republicans from Democrats?
WHY?
Is it any wonder the Republicans are the STUPID PARTY!
GEESH!!!
