RUSH: I went to the WhiteHouse.gov, and their headline: "Bipartisan Debt Deal: A Win for the Economy and Budget Discipline." It's a very long piece, I'm not going to read the whole thing to you. But it is the most straightforward and complete outline of the deal from the White House perspective that there is, and at WhiteHouse.gov they are beside themselves with joy. This post crows about how this debt deal locks in Obama's runaway spending. They're ecstatic about how it slashes the military and protects entitlements, even locks in the end of the Bush tax cuts. All of which should disabuse anyone of the notion that the Republicans pulled off a tremendous victory here. Note, too, there will be no spending cuts until after the 2012 elections. That's part of the deal.

Define "Ask."
Define "Ass"
Less than his "fair share" he paid around 24%, not 35% last year. Biden paid around 22%, not 35% last year.
Wealthy enough to do what I described.
Sorry...I missed something.
Help me understand...
Okay that is what you wrote....
Live anywhere? Afford anything?
What is your "line in the sand"...on who is "wealthy"?
That's all I'm asking.........
I’m not Mr. Obama, I don’t have “a line in the sand” and don’t get to define who is wealthy. He will tax a small business owner out of business while leaving a hedge fund manager or union official alone. That is who you need to ask your question.
I'm just curious as to what you think "wealthy" is......You seemed to have a "line in the sand" earlier.
Many people think that anyone making more money than them is "wealthy".
FWIW
When Barry produced his only budget, it had $1 Trillion deficits projected for 10 years with no reduction in sight.
About that time, someone looked at the IRS website and calculated that if the tax rate for all income over $75,000 was 100%, it would bring in $550 billion. This, of course, assumes that anyone making over $75,000 worked as diligently as they did before. (ha ha ha)
So, even if we tax the rich, and the upper middle class at a rate of 100% over the baseline of $75,000, we could not close the deficit.
This needs to be on billboards all across the USA.

Billionaire business mogul Penny Pritzker is a member of one of Americas richest families and was the Finance Chair for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama. It was Pritzker that led the prolific, and illegal, fundraising that helped power Barack Obamas presidential campaign. She was the chair of Chicago-based Superior Banks board for five years. Pritzker was into subprime lending before it became all the rage starting in around 2000. Prtizker's chairmanship was to concentrate on sub prime lending, principally on home mortgages, but for a while in subprime auto lending, too, after the Pritzkers' bank acquired its wholesale mortgage organization division, Alliance Funding, in December 1992. Superior Bank went belly up in 2001 with over $1 billion in insured and uninsured deposits; 1,406 depositors lost much of their life savings. This collapse came amid harsh criticism of how Superiors owners promoted sub-prime home mortgages. |
