One thing is perfectly clear. Obie is never going to change, or try to.
If I was a millionaire, I think I’d take my money and leave this country.
Would be tired of being a target and being called greedy and whatever else.
Nope. He can blather till the cows come home. They (both dems and repubs) ain’t raising taxes, period.
A market sell-off is very likely. The European crisis is coming to a head and may bring down some US banks and the markets. This will again decimate what remains of the 401K’s and IRA’s of average Americans. A perfect time to start beating hard the class warfare drum.
It is all politics and all about timing. The Administration certainly knows what is about to happen in Europe. Whatever message Geithner took to Europe’s finance meeting this weekend, he had his head handed to him. Instead of trying to pull the nation together, Obama is intent on dividing it. Even though Boehner and the Republicans greeted his jobs bill with conciliatory speech and offered to work with him, Obama has been on the road calling for an immediate all or nothing vote.
Given current prospects for an electoral disaster in 2012, it seems as though the Democrats and their allies in academia (Krugman), the mainstream press, and crony corporate capitalism (Buffett, and Immelt) are going all out with their Cloward Piven strategy to implode the economy and the government.
And doesn't it now ensnare more non-millionaires than anybody else?
Is the “Buffett Rule” named after Warren or Jimmy.
Wasting away again in our town’s Obamaville.
The fuel of liberalism is made of
1. Envy
2. Greed
3. Fear
1. Make those who have less envious of anyone who has more. Feed their hate to give them an enemy they think you will vanquish for them
2. Feed their greed to make them dependent on you
3. If all else fails provide them something to fear that they think only you can / will save them from
If Buffett is so concerned about his secretary’s taxes, maybe he should pay her more, so she doesn’t have to pay such a high rate.
