“Spread the wealth around.”
Did it ever occur to obozo to spread a traditional work ethic around?

Is there a vengeful and punitive tax audit in Jerry’s future? The magic Eight Ball sez “You can count on it.”

Exactly.
His supporters have never worked like we work either.
Pretty much useless parasites.

At this stage of my life, I want to have money to leave to my five kids and seven grandkids.

Why? What did they do to earn it--just by being born like the nobility?

This guy is spoiled whinny multimillionaire. Obama senior year of High School 1979 the top bracket was 70%. And in the 1950’s it was around 90%. The “Ad Man” has paid higher taxes in the past but he seems to have forgot. Look at the chart below, its a eye opener.

Yup. I actually witnessed some scumbag buy an 18 pack of beer with an EBT. Hope he drowns in it.

The proper response to President Bill Ayers (and any other liberal) is, before we talk about what I’m going to give up, what are YOU going to give up?

Liberals only take, they never give.

Let’s force them to give up some things and see how they like it.

because its the “Hamptons”

blah

I’d rather live like a king in the middle of nowhere than some overexpensive place where the “rich and famous” hang out.

I saw a huge place in Weatherford, TX on 9.9 acres for $400,000 the other day. The barn was bigger and better than my house. lol

I’m pretty sure that Jerry Della Femina is no lib and never has been. I agree with him 100%.

so what Orange...maybe you’re too wet behind the ears to know what the tax code allowed in deductions in those days... you can look that up if you care to have an argument that is truthful....fewer than 250 taxpayers ever paid the top rate.
The crooks in DC put in the AMT to make million dollar incomes pay something, and now hundreds of thousands of taxpayers get stuck with the calculation even with the fix...think that was an accident. It’s a crime to pay more than 25% on any income unless you like slavery. Tax the 48% that pay nothing in fed taxes so they have some skin in the game...otherwise they vote all day to raise the taxes on the successful and the folks that HIRE people and write their name on the front of the paycheck. Take your progressive tax crap and stuff it...America succeeds when people decide what to do with the fruits of real labor, not the crooked FedGov...

YMMV

Sadly, you appear to have bought into class-warfare. Our Heavenly Father gives of gifts of grace and mercy, and I, too, would like to gift my children and friends with the treasured items I have collected over a lifetime of hard work. It pleasures me to share what I have, money or possessions, with those who have so generously given to me of their time and affection.

Should he leave the money HE EARNED to the government instead so they can piss it away?
