———increased revenue ——
In the present debate, increased revenue has come to mean TAX THE RICH. It does not mean raise taxes to reduce the deficit.
It means redistribute from those that have to the lazy and sleazy American detritus.
If the is to be an increase in revenue, it should come from the poor who take and take and take and contribute nothing. nothing is a lazy man’s out and excuse for being. When 50% pay no taxes, that leaves a big pool of money to tap
He even uses himself as an example of someone who does not pay their fair share. wtf.
The top 1% (income over $338K) pay 38% of all taxes, the top 5% (income over $160K) pay 60%
Yet Barky said last night “they” are not paying “their” fair share.
Let's get the “fair” share figure out on the table.
Please. Is it 70%? 100% 110%?
Let's also make it clear that if the Obama tax cuts (formerly known as the Bush tax rates until Barky extended them) are raised, EVERYONE in the top 5% pays more tax, OK?
An increasing number of us know that 51% of Americans pay no federal tax, are not being expected to contribute one dime to operating the government.
I for one am dam sick of the “corporate jet” canard.
Democrats stuck special tax treatment for corporate jets in the 2009 stimulus bill, democrats rammed it through
and I for one would be willing for Boehner to make this clear. And announce how many jobs are created by the private jet industry. And announce GOP willingness to include any proposal Harry Reid and Barky have to eliminate corporate jet tax deductions, perhaps with consultation by John Effin Kerry who enjoys the availability of (Heinz) Ketchup One.
