Geithner: 'Privilege of Being an American' Is Why Rich Need Higher Taxes

More proof that the obama cabinet is well-stocked with idiots.

What I have NOT seen, is an estimate of how much revenue could be generated by the 50% of Americans who currently don't pay any taxes if they only had to pay 10%.

We're talking half the population of America...and the obamaidiots think soaking the rich is going to pay off president spendthrift's debts?

What would be the difference in revenue if we taxed the rich to the max, and the non-paying half to a 10% minimum.

There is no successful economy that could survive for long with half of the population supporting the other half.

Let's stop all of the entitlement waste, and deal with the riots as we come to them. It's going to have to be done sooner or later, there is no way around it.

if you don't ask, you know, the most fortunate Americans to bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American

Typical libtard mentality: The good need to be punished for being the good

I think we should have political UFC night!

It would be a privilege to take on Tiny Tim in a match of mash face!

Whatever happened to duels? Can I make challenge?

The hypocrisy of these creeps is sickening. This twerp is a complete tax cheat just like some so many of his RAT cohorts in the administration
