Paying higher taxes is patriotic...It just sounds strange to me...

Buying war bonds during World War Two...I would say that is patriotic...But, paying higher taxes now?

Wars responsible for debts? How about Obama stimulus?

Looks like Cory is solidly back on the Dem plantation now. No more celebrating wealth for him.

If its all about patriotism, you can start by making the 50% who pay NOTHING get in the game...its patriotic afterall.

The catch phrase "fair share" always seemed a little stupid and borne of ignorance. If you look at the actual percentages, the so called "rich" already pay a lot more than their fair share.

Besides which the jackasses don't seem to realize that even if you take it all, it won't make a drop in the bucket of national indebtedness.

I think folks need to buy a biannual license to vote for a ‘rat. Either true cost or $20,000, whichever is more.

It’s not patriotism but envy, jealousy, bitterness, covetousness and theft.

Tim Geithner is unpatriotic. He is a known tax cheat.

The fat dixie chick said that patriotism is overrated anyway.

I think Julian Castro tipped the lefts hand last night.

Instead of debating “fairness”, the left is relabeling the issue and will now be calling it: Shared Prosperity

The top 1% earn 20% of the nation’s income. They should pay 20% of the income taxes, but they pay more than twice that amount. I’d say they are paying more than TWICE their “fair share,” in spite of what this idiot mayor is spewing.

Also, didn’t Mark “Facebook” Zuckerberg give the Newark school system $100 million a few years ago? Talk about money down the rat hole.

All depends on who decides what “fair” is.

My son saw this assclown Booker speak last week at NYU Stern.
He was not impressed, and now it is clear why. Booker is a liar of the same ilk as Ubama.

The argument we need to make is that there are consequences to over-taxing our nation’s employers and investors-to everyone, not just the “rich”.

The poor and the middle classes cannot escape the boomerang effect. The “rich” whether we like it or not, are the ones who invest, put money at risk, and own businesses. All of these activities employ people. To punish those who employ with tax policy is to punish also those who have less, and those who aspire to have more.

Democrats keep harping about the wealthy paying more taxes, but it’s a hard sell when there is nothing to be gained. The out of control spending will continue, the fraud and abuse of entitlements and cushy deals for the connected will continue.

Clean up the mess, clean up the budget first.

Why should anybody pay 1 more dime for the mess in Washington?
