I’d like to see someone ask the politicians to “pay just a little bit more” in taxes. America has a hell of a lot more politicians than it does millionaires. They love to spend money, they should pitch in more of theirs.

“my National Review colleague Kevin Williamson pointed out that, in order to balance the budget of the United States, you would have to increase the taxes of people earning more than $250,000 a year by $500,000 a year.”

So what’s the big deal? If we raise they’re taxes that much, surely they’ll just work harder to make it all back. Everyone wins: Uncle Sam gets another money fix, rich people aren’t hurt and everyone lives happily ever after. It’s Obamanomics 101.

"In fact, the government of the United States is broker than any entity has ever been in the history of the planet."

....or a cliche from an old friend of mine from Georgia once used to describe just how broke he was......

"In fact, the government of the United States is broker than any entity has ever been in the history of the planet the Ten Commandments."

Slow Joe is a national treasure. Just think of the most stupid thing you can think of ... and yes, Slow Joe has already said it. Enjoy him now because once the real re-electioneering begins, Slow Joe will be put back in his box until after the election.

RE “Who knew it was that easy? So let’s see if I follow the vice president’s thinking: The school laid off these teachers because “there’s no money for them in the city.” That’s true. York City School District is broke. It has a $14 million budget deficit. So instead Washington, D.C., is going to “give you some money” to hire these teachers back.
So, unlike York, Pa., presumably Washington, D.C., has “money for them”? No, not technically. Washington, D.C., is also broke — way broker than York City School District. In fact, the government of the United States is broker than any entity has ever been in the history of the planet. Officially, Washington has to return 15,000,000,000,000 dollars just to get back to having nothing at all. And that 15,000,000,000,000 dollars is a very lowball figure that conveniently ignores another $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities that the government, unlike private businesses, is able to keep off the books.
So how come the Brokest Jurisdiction in History is able to “give you some money” to hire back those teachers that had to be laid off? No problem, says the vice president. We’re going to “ask” people who have “a lot of money” to “pay just a little bit more” in taxes. Where are these people? Evidently, not in York, Pa. But they’re out there somewhere. “

Obama has no economic plan. He has a political plan. He doesnt propose taxes to do anything to the deficit. He is now proposing taxes and related spending that are poll tested to divide voters. You dont see the MSM worried about that.

He should go back to the 4th graders with a handout of the bloodied body of Gaddafi and explain that he’s a bad man that the President killed.

In only a little over 12 more months, joe can start blaming everything on obama.

[geezerwheezer]

The reason “Hair Plugs” went to the 9 year old 4th graders was the “Jobs bill” was written by their fellow 4th graders in the White House - or so it seems! Should be called “show and smell” by the vice idiot.

Talk about Slow Joe

If he wanted the 4th grade vote, he should have told them the cafeteria wouldn’t serve any more dessert until rich people pay more taxes
