Let's see if I've got this right. They want to tax people making $200K. They want to tax health benefits. They want to force small business owners to pay for their employees insurance, and now they want them to pay the new tax too.

Those idiots really know how to destroy America. Small businesses are the life blood of America. If they force them out of business, the unemployment lines will be massive.

They're going to tax soda, hike the tax on smokes, do away with Bush's tax cuts, tax estates again, and force everyone to buy insurance. At this rate, we will all be in the poor house by then end of the year.

Then Obama’s new “national security force” goes out and confiscates their wealth by force. Think the CART teams in EFAD The Reconquista.

Rangel wants to “raise” taxes? Perhaps he’ll start PAYING his own taxes, instead of conveniently “forgetting” about certain income.

Obama keeps telling me we need health care “reform” to save money. So why do we need to raise taxes to save money?

What a bunch of liars.

My small business is down 50%. 3 out of 4 employees have been laid off and are only brought in as temps.

What in the hell can the federal government do to help my small business? (A) Get out of the way with your confiscatory taxes when I am doing well.

Even if I go under I will not take a dime from any federal program...Period!

The new ‘taxes’ do not include state or local amounts, fees, ‘provisions,’ ‘program enrollments,’ etc.

VAT, national ‘sales tax,’ health care ‘plan,’ gas ‘tax,’ etc.

36% is not even close. Neither is 39 or perhaps 50%.

Tax wealth. Real wealth, with foundations, etc. You want money? Tax Congress, WH, and SCOTUS justices and all that work with them. Get Soros to pay for it.

It is silly to expect these in Washington to consider we the people. JMHO but a march on DC on a Saturday is fruitless how about the unemployed march during the week with the numbers climbing there would be a good turnout.

I sincerely wish you well. Prayers for you.

DON'T under any circumstance take their small business bail out money. If you do, you will be like the banks and auto companies - with the government owning and running your business.

I give you my Proxy. Will you stand in for me also? Then I can give you also about 10 others from Okla. who will not be able to attend. Those 10 will then equal 10 more, and so on.

Annie from Oklahoma.

If we don’t get a million people to our taxpayer march on Washington on September 12th, we deserve this assault we are under.

Spot on, color me there. Besides FR promoting the event, who else is also doing so?

“...why don’t they just tax Wealth?”

Like maybe Soros, Gates, Buffet, ... how ‘bout Opra?

Works for me. Maybe they’ll think about their political contributions next time.

"Despite a still-lagging U.S. economy and rising unemployment rate, House Democrats announced late yesterday that they will seek a massive ($540 Billion Tax) increase in federal income taxes to help pay for the national health-care"

You just can't fix STUPID!

But you can sure vote 'em out of office!

All we can do is hope & pray that the Gelding Old Party gets a testicle & spine implant before next year!
