Who would have ever expected this one? Tax the rich even more. I’m shocked.

So, based on all the other taxes they want for this group, that puts it at 54% tax on those making that amount of money now, right?

Will they get to dictate the terms of the insurance since they will be shouldering most of the cost, percentage wise?

Someone please make this stop. Everyday I’m scared to read what the lowlifes in the O admin and the Dems are up to.

Well to heck with that, I am just going to get paid in cash from here on out, buy gold bars/coins and bury them in my back yard, and live life like an ordinary middle class citizen.

If they keep doing this they will do nothing but drive the rich to do this and they will see their returns dwindle to one tenth than if they just had a flat tax at 10% for everyone with no loopholes or exemptions.

But, once the Pay Tsar gets done setting top salaries of CEO, nobody will be allowed to make that much unless you are a politician or a lawyer.

Smokescreen. That won’t give them enough money. Remember Clinton tax on millionaires?

Any tax increase will hit everyone making over $50k

Remember sheeple - at least half the voting population THINK that they don't pay taxes so they will vote for each and every increase. What the suckers don't realize is that they do pay a multitude of hidden and not-so-hidden taxes, and then the pols play a shell game so that no one know what they are paying. Your City taxes end up in the state's coffers, the Feds are handing out subsidies to companies and local government and citizens, fees are payable here, there and everywhere - who knows?

That dumb half will always vote your taxes up.

The Democrats are stupid...jacking up taxes in the middle of the worst recession since the 1930s. Of course, they did the same thing back then, too, and look where that got the US.

I’m surprised they are not aiming for a psychologically-sound 1%.

Why? OK, what benefit is there to introducing a minimum mileage requirement of 1 mpg for cars? Easy. To opponents, they simply say, “what on earth is wrong with you? Do you honestly believe a car that gets less than 1 mpg should belong on the road, or that such a car is even necessary by any stretch of the imagination? This is a common-sense rule all Americans can afford and embrace! Honestly, how can one say 1 mpg is too much to ask?” What follows is obvious.

For the wealthy-tax, it will be cut down to 1% in the senate, and will then pass. Even 0.001% is all they politically need, because after that it is a case of adjusting an existing lever, or engineering formulae such that rates automatically adjust to higher levels gradually with time and/or abruptly via the triggering of certain conditions. They can take 1% in 2010, and by 2013 get that up to 4%, with the additional rate applying to incomes down to the $125k level (kept in constant 2009 dollars...they have learned that indexing tax brackets to inflation is a big no-no - it is only convenient for government benefits to be thusly indexed).
