The "rich" also give more than 50% of all charitable contributions on top of being taxed out the wazzoo.

If it weren't for politics and greed, it would be a piece of cake!
She’s good!
Will the idiots ever understand...it’s the middle RICH who create jobs, pay the most taxes already...NOW the ULTRA rich may be another thing....I really do NOT approve of trading funds between billionaires to get tax write-offs...ala Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.
McDonnell as a possible VP candidate?..makes sense..
It has ABSOLUTELY turned into class warfare. I have been reading a lot of threads on Facebook and community/national forums. There is a backlash against rich people and it runs deep.
All of a sudden the rich have become the evil.
Big problems ahead for this nation.
and Cut Taxes!
It is more than class warfare. Obama cannot succeed in converting our country to a socialist Utopia without the destruction of conservative investors, who have the means to create jobs. Obama wants only the Unions and the government to create jobs, which is why unemployment is so high, and ongoing.
It was the same in Europe prior to WWII, Mussolini and Hitler had to destroy the conservative investment class, and they did so with anti semitism,the unions,political correctness, confiscatory taxes, public attack and villification. Pretty much the same way Obama is operating.
The debt ceiling debate is about far more than mere fiscal responsibility.

I think the outrage is primarily pointed at the less than 1 percenters, who are demographically mostly bankers (who do not own small businesses or create jobs) who were completely balied out for the foreclosure mess while many average Americans lost their homes. I’m a strong conservative and always will be, but the super rich bankers with huge international ties aren’t always ethical nor are they a sacred cow in my eyes. While most of the country has suffered, the big bankers have mostly at least broke even, if not prospered greatly, and many ordinary folk are simply keen to it.
When was it ever not?

Sure, indeed there is class warfare. Ala, the golden rule. Who has the gold makes the rules.
The commons see what is going on with the political class and big business. The frustration will only get worse.
“GOP governor says tax hike on rich has ‘devolved into class warfare’”
Why Not?
“They’re” “taxing” (punishing?) cigarette buyers at the cash registers, aren’t they?????
And likely dozens of similar examples could be cited—I see little difference while both gubmint and the public sees nothing wrong with either!
Time to play life straight—all hands for all hands!
Semper WTF!

51% pay NO TAXES!!! It’s a tw0-wat class warfare now!!
It’s not just the poor that pay no taxes, LOT of the middle class re not paying either!!! EVERYONE nneds to pay something!!
plus, a LOT of them get MONEY from us, even though they pay NOTHING!
I strongly support capitalism and despise socialism. But when General Electric is paying zero federal taxes, and tax breaks are being given to companies for offshoring their operations, there is a serious problem at the top, likely on both sides. The only hope for this country now is a rise of right-minded independents who hold the extremes of both parties accountable. And I say this as a previously devoted Republican, who feels the elites sold out the rank and file when they got their chance.
Dear “Rick”
The government does not “know how to create jobs in the private sector”
the government needs to get OUT OF THE way and let the private sector grow and create jobs
there, fixed that
