Following in the footsteps of billionaire investor Warren Buffet, former Google employee Doug Edwards asked President Obama to raise his taxes at a town hall meeting in California Monday.
"Would you please raise my taxes?" Edwards asked, a request that drew applause from the audience
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
sniveling weasel sets up Obama with a puffball question (for Democrat thinking) about how great higher taxes would be to pay for favored liberal programs....
of course he and then Obama pretend that the tax debate has something to do with protecting basic opportunity (as opposed to funding a grotesquely bloated govt for grotesquely bloated leftist unions and parasites, etc.).
two brief videos at the link, one of the questioner and the audience applause, then one of Obama’s dishonest, patronizing, misleading answer
Just send more of your own paycheck idiot. Why do you have to drag everybody else with you?
Pray for America
As the saying goes.. depth perception is the only difference.
He’s just reading the script the Obama team gave him.
“Take my money, please”. (Rimshot). It’s the Warren Buffoon Syndrome.
“Would you please LOWER my taxes?”
He is retired an draws no taxable income.
Raise his capital gains tax and listen to the idiot scream.
Exactly. I’m sure the audience was hand picked. Can’t let in any conservatives.
Most responses seem to be variants of "If you want to pay more taxes, go ahead and do it! Leave us out of it, jackass."
And those are the nice comments.
“Would you please raise my taxes?” Edwards asked, a request that drew applause from the audience....Ain’t nothing says Edwards and the rest of the audience can’t give ALL their income to the Shiitehead in charge. They just want to see YOU go first. Then they’ll say “ Assholes”.
When will someone stand up and say... Mr. President can you share with the audience exactly which tax deductions you refused to take on your last income tax return?
or
Hey rich guy you know you can choose to file a 1040EZ next time and forego all those un-necessary deductions, then you can take the 100K you pay your accountant to do your taxes and give it to charity, just don’t take the deduction....
Idiot Liberals.
And in his mind, he's some noble do-gooder for his unselfish act of taking my money.
Bastard.
Levin said the guy was an obvious plant, and I agree.
I have seen a few bumper stickers with something similarly obnoxious (”Raise My Taxes”).
Those are the times I wish I had one some type of taser device mounted under my front bumper, so I could reach out and touch that driver’s car.
plant or not, the guy is just another useful idiot.
Funny how people who have already made more than enough millions to live the rest of their lives without earning another penny are in favor of higher income taxes. They would squeal like stuck pigs if they had to pay an annual wealth tax instead of a higher income tax.
Either this is a plant or our nation is in even bigger garbage than I originally suspected.
Again, no mention this was a setup, a plant Obama fully knew about.
The MSM exists to promote leftist and Obama/DNC policy.
“Raise My Taxes” is commie libspeak for, “My Mother Raised All Morons”.
