Obama’s “Buffett Tax” – Seizing 100% of Millionaire Income Would Pay Only Half of Deficit

Hopefully he will not be in office long enough, but I’m sure he would also like to put a surcharge on anybody who has a 6-figure or more retirement fund, you know, to take care of those people driving $60K SUVs who just haven’t bothered to save anything...like the ant and the grasshopper fable. That’s just the way his mind works.
With the MSM always ready to help 0bama, Republicans need to handle this issue carefully.
I saw Ryan’s interview on Fox this morning and Chris Wallace couldn’t keep his mouth shut long enough to let his guest speak.
The subject matter is important enough to show the poor guy the decency to answer the questions without trying to speed up his answers and hurry on to a faux-important commercial break.
With an economy showing Titanic signs of progress, guests like Ryan deserve to be heard.
So we should tax investment income at a higher rate and thereby cripple investments? What the hell is wrong with this administration?
Forget raising taxes on those who are already paying more than their fair share. I want someone in Congress to have the guts to propose that ALL Americans pay income tax. Stop raising taxes on those who already pay taxes and make the 50 percent of Amercans who pay nothing pay up.
This is all so much political theater and BULLSHIT. Revenue raising legislation all originates in the House, and the Republican House isn't going to do anything to help odumbo.
