WASHINGTON - Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that paying more in taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans. The Republican campaign for president calls the tax increases their Democratic opponents propose "painful" instead of patriotic.
Under the economic plan proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of American taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.
"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

John McCain and his ilk are patriotic - the tax and spend Demos are traitorous dogs.

Hey Joe, there’s nothing keeping you from simply writing and extra check to the treasury, if you’re feeling extra patriotic.
But forcing someone to be “patriotic” isn’t the same as being patriotic. But then your statements are idiotic.

Does he mean only the regular people are patriotic. I mean after all don't the Kennedy's and other Dem's of there Ilk use tax shelters not to pay? I guess he's saying that the Dem's aren't patriotic. Nice of him to be honest.

We have to pay higher taxes because of the waste the democrats love. $54 million to the ones that crashed Fanny and Freddy and lost their jobs, they should be in jail. The rats like high oil price to pay off favors to the terrorists and others. Where is pelosi’s most honest congress at?

"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said...Biden, like that other intellectual senator from Illinois, Carole Mosely Braun, thinks government's job is to imitate Robin Hood, but don't realize that It's Communism Stupid!
