Help the middle class? Nope, just another reparations scheme.
I fail to see how that’s going to help the middle class.
Regardless of party or president in power, I really am sick of presidential agendas, as if it were a talent revue in which they have 10 minutes to do a prepared act.
They have the theory and the practice ass-backward; the president is not the Chief Legislator so why are we always hearing about presidential bills?
It’s clear that the founders intended the Congress to be first among co-equal branches, as it were, since they were most directly accountable and had the smallest ratio of voters-to-federal politician.
Republicans have said they want to propose major tax reforms in the coming months. This is Obama’s way of pre-empting that and painting any plan the GOP comes up with as a ‘tax break for the wealthy’ scheme.
Everything he’s done has turned to crap, but he’ll be trying to “redistribute the wealth” till the bitter end of his rule. The idiot actually believed his professors that this time Communism would work. The nation should declare a holiday when he leaves the White House….unless it’s Hillary who will be moving in.
This clown has no clue... None.
Marx's statement of the creed in the 'Critique of the Gotha Program' is as follows:
In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly—only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!
These guys really do only have one page in their play book.
Hey big jerk! you don’t get it!
The way to help people is to promote enterprise, businesses and manufacturing. People will have jobs and be happier.
Your way is stupid - taking money from those who earn it honestly and giving it to those who vote for you.
So he would take nearly 10% of my money?
FU!
That is an extraordinary amount of money and I already pay enough taxes to fully pay for two peoples yearly income.
A-hole.
That anount goes to paying people to do stuff I don’t want to do and employs others for my vacations and stuff I buy.
Jerk off.
The United States’ federal top capital gains tax rate is now 23.8 percent due to two tax increases at the start of 2013.
The middle class is not his concern it is a tag used to redistribute this money to the lower class bottom feeders
A tax icrease “on the wealthy” will be a tax increase on businessmen, primarily small business owners, people who are, in fact, the epitome of the middle class. It will be a hammer applied to the heads of the middle class and to the working class as business are forced to cut back and entrepreneurs find other places to do business or to take their money to retire in more comfortable places. It was just so in England pre Thatcher. As the taxes escalated on the “rich,” the wealthy, businessmen and lords quit spending their money to build and develop businesses and bought Rolls Royces or left the country, taking their money to more profitable climes. Britain got steadily poorer until partially rescued by Margaret.
The wealthy do not pay capital gains tax. They simply hold the asset and use leverage.
Another “tax the wealthy” symbolic move.
Any more Obama help for the Middle Class and there won’t be a Middle Class.
So THAT’s why the wealthy dems gave him so much money....loopholes. Silly republicans rich, they only have boehner.
The only thing that’s helped the middle class in the last 6 years has been the recent drop in energy prices and he’s doing everything in his power to reverse it.
Tax the rich, feed the poor.
‘Til there are rich no more.
Alvin Lee said it in 1971, and he was eons late for the party on making it up, and now he’s dead.
But to folks like Nancy Pelosi, it’s “new and fresh”.
Well his highness can propose but with a GOP Senate and House, he is just generating campaign messages for 2016. Although it is arguable that we are having a recovery in our economy in his 6th year of reign, it is equally arguable that the Obama recovery is the slowest post-Great Depression EVER and comes as the rest of the world floods our markets in search of monetary safety. Add to this that our OIL production (which he has actively and continues to discourage) has driven the world price to lows unseen just a year ago, our overall economy almost has to go up!
Now he wants ever more money to redistribute that will, inevitably, be largely wasted in bloated welfare, education and government. There has been NO SUCCESSFUL redistribution of wealth EVER in world history, yet these libertards are CONVINCED that this time it will work! Best of intentions and the rosy path ...
THANK GOD for the 2010 and 2014 elections - imagine Obama with the 2008 Senate and House right now - SHUDDER!
