I fear that we'll see an exodus of quite a few "millionaires" if this kicks in big time.

It's quite scary, as the rich usually are responsible for the jobs in this country through entrepenuership, or investments. More jobs go overseas.

What was that figure? Something like, "If 100% of the net worth of all of the millionaires was confiscated, it would run the government for only a week"...or something like that.

Then...they come for the rest of us.

Lucy pulling the football away again. One last time. We run trillion + deficits. You could confiscate the wealth of the top 1% and not wipe out one years borrowing from China. Who do you suppose they’ll come for next?

I still say let's go over the cliff. I am willing to pay substantial additional taxes provided the GOP hold the line. Let the automatic spending cuts happen and refuse raising the debt limit.

If those things happen my taxes will come down in year 2 as I report less income. The takers will be on their own once we stop printing money.

Once a Democrat gets a Republican to go along with a tax increase, they change the increase to include everyone who pays taxes. Oldest trick in the book.

Pardon my language, but Kristol is a f#%&ing idiot. He's advocating a tax policy that Democrats themselves never pursued when they were in a position to do so.

Criticize them all you want, but those Democrats sure learned their lessons from recent history -- and they learned them well. As they learned back in the 1993-94 budget cycles, never legislate a massive tax hike in Congress if a Democrat in the White House has to sign it into law. This is why, for example, the "Bush tax cuts" are still in place more than a decade after most of them were put in place. They even survived a two year period in 2009-10 when the Democrats controlled the White House and both houses of Congress and could have ended them without any opposition at all.

: The leadership in the Republican party and the leadership in the conservative movement have to pull back. Let people float new ideas, let's have a serious debate. Don't scream and yell when one person says, 'You know what? It won't kill the country if we raise taxes a little bit on millionaires.' It really won't, I don't think.

Bill Kristol, the WEAKLY STANDARD is the same as Time -- both are worthless!!

At this point, I agree with him. Give Obama what he wants, send the economy over a cliff. Why should we be “obstructionist” to save Bill Gates, Bruce Springsteen and Warren Buffett a few bucks?

RINOs new contract with Amerika:

One or two abortions are okay, beyond that we hold firm on our core principles

Small business owners should go bankrupt if there is a union shop that makes the same product. Beyond that, we hold firm on conservative values.

The Amish, like everyone else, should be forced to buy GM cars and light duty trucks - but they can keep their horses and buggies for weekends.

Catholics should be ordered to attend Mass with at least one pedophile homosexual priest in service. Holy water receptacles should be restocked with condoms - after all, can’t deprive the poor of contraception.

Marriage should be between one man and one woman, or one man and one man, or one woman and one woman. Beyond that we stand firm on our core conservative principles and values.

Dang it. I hate to agree with him, but he might be on to something. I think it’s something like 75% of the millionaires and billionaires vote Democrat. The Democrats are great at frightening Republicans.

“We’re socialists and we’ll put you in work camps.! Don’t look at the fact that the majority of millionaires and billionaires support us! You should fight to protect their money!”

By golly, let’s see what happens. He may really be onto something. The Democrat leaders are just a bunch of grifters. They’d tell you it was raining on a sunny day if they thought they could pick your pocket while you were putting up your umbrella.

“Let people float new ideas...”

Here’s a NEW idea that nobody inside the beltway ever considers - cut your effing spending, quit buying votes with pork barrel handouts, and stop thinking that every penny in the entire American economy belongs to you government a-holes to do with as you please!!!

Let’s tax Hollywood liberals. Let’s tax every rich fool who supported Obama. They’re the ones who want the spending. In the real world, if you want something, you have to pay for it.

What about farmers? What about small businesses? Should we raise their taxes too? How is that helpful to the economy?
