Obama is right on track for the destruction of Capitalism in America - see tagline.
Let’s just remove all the inflation adjustments on the tax brackets and then inflate everyone out of poverty and into the higher brackets.
How do the folks in New York and The Left Coast feel about this? Both feature a high cost of living and lots and lots of Libs.
9 out of 10 Germans approved of gassing Jews.
8 out of 10 Hells Angels approveof rape.
Democracy and morality do not go hand in hand.
RE: YOUR TAGLINE
The following quote was attributed to an unidentified Czechoslovakian Republic leader, a country that suffered generations under the evil of Socialist / Marxist corruption. The writer clearly and succinctly described what may be a troubling reality for America.
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
6 out of 10 are economically illiterate.
Wait till all the Obamabots making 250K in NYC, Boston,DC, SF, and LA discover that according to their savior they are now rich. Even Chuckie Cheese Schumer has recognzed that 250 K in such places is not rich. Though the cheese man’s solution violates the Constitutional requirement that taxes be uniform throughout the several states. Anyway I’m for going off the cliff and letting ALL the Obamabots discover just how much money Bush’s tax cuts saved everyone.
These fools are going to be shocked to find out that “taxing the rich” won’t put a dent in the fiscal disaster we are facing. In fact, the projected additional revenues will fund our government for a whopping EIGHT DAYS!!!
So when they say tax the rich and the revenues from the rich are not sufficient, the middle class will be next to fund the gap.
That means 2 out of 10 Americans are complete idiots.
Six in ten are economic nitwits.
Picking one piece out of this article for comment, the author assumes that a big reduction in charitable giving would be viewed as a bad thing. To the contrary, for Obama and much of the left, private charitable giving is viewed as somehow illegitimate and they don’t give near as much as conservatives anyway. They view all assistance as the proper province of government, not the private sector which might give and assist in an unapproved manner.
CBO projections don’t show much change in the annual deficit over the next decade. So even if the additional income taxes amounted to the $829 billion figure, the extra revenue would not eliminate the annual deficit, and it would do nothing to pay down the accumulated national debt of $16 trillion.

I’d love to see the cites for those poll results. And it looks like you are equating a partial return to pre-2001 tax rates to genocide and rape. Such a move might not be economically wise or useful, but not immoral.
How many of the 47% (who don’t pay federal income taxes) would agree to pay some money - even just a little - if it will help get the US out of recession?
I bet the number is pretty close to 0.
Yet they would still demand that others pay...
That was the backdrop of my “nitwit” judgment. No matter how much they take, and from whom they take it, there will never be enough to pay for the “benefits” our government is currently promising. As Mark Steyn says, there’s not enough money in the whole world to pay the U.S.’s bills.
In my opinion, there is no reasonable outcome other than a complete crash. The author’s closing line about matching higher taxes with spending reform is just the same old dream sequence. It will never happen. If the political will to reform spending existed, the reform would happen without any increases in tax rates ... and then revenues would increase, anyway, as the economy crawled out from under a rock and began laying eggs (so to speak).
“6 out of 10 are economically illiterate.”
You’re being very generous.
Idiots it’s not about raising taxes on incomes it’s about more gov spending,it’s where the money will go to.
This is why Obama was reelected. It is what he believes.
Only answer - go off the cliff, everybody pays - and don't increase the federal debt ceiling. When checks stop coming, maybe the takers will realize WE'RE OUT OF MONEY!
The people have made their choice - now let them suffer!
