I swear to God he has Tourette's Syndrome.

Lying is an involuntary reflex for him.

He can't help himself.

‘socialism is for the people, not the socialists.’ They plan to be at the top, nearest the money, for this top down centrally planned economy. Those nearest the top get the biggest cut of the redistribution.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise? Obama is quickly turning into a tree.

The SAY that they’re willing to pay higher taxes, but if it comes to that they’ll hire more accountants and attorneys to avoid it!

As an aside, what happens to the tax accountants and attorneys when the system is reformed? Will they have to get honest work? < /sarc >

Remember when he said we will ALL have to make sacrifices? Seems the word, ALL, doesn’t include him.

Barry the Imposter has never explained the $1 million +++ dollars he took to Kenya & gave to his cousin Odinga when Odinga was running for Kenya President. That was in 2006 or 2007, IIRC.

Even giving ANY money to a candidate in another country is illegal according to American laws. Barry the Imposter was breaking American laws long before he bacame the usurper in the Oval Office.

I don’t know a single millionaire willing to part with more of their money. Obama is a LIAR!

And if you publicly say that you aren't willing to pay more, the Regime will take steps to correct your attitude.

Ya know, the great thing about a free country is that you’re not subject to the rights-trampling whims of the majority.

Obama Says Most Millionaires Willing to Pay Higher Taxes

Sure, that works for people who have already become wealthy and who have no overwhelming need for additional income. They can choose not to work, and thus avoid paying taxes. In all this talk about taxing the 'wealthy', I never hear Obama pushing for a tax on accumulated wealth. Thus the millionaires are safe sitting on their wealth.

But what about those people who are not millionaires but are working hard to become millionaires? Those are the people who will be hurt most by this. It's not the millionaires he should be asking, but instead he should be asking those aspiring to become millionaires. Baraq Obama is the status quo's dream come true.

Start with Obama,Kerry,Pelosi, Reid, all the democratic millionairs and tax their wealth (not income) at 50%. You would see this talk come to a screeching halt!
