Reid is onto something here in saying that people are willing to pay more.
The hard working citizens of the United States of America are the most generous in the world, especially when asked to donate to help the poor, to respond to a natural disaster, to donate to their favorite charity, to their church, and so on.
But Reid cannot be more WRONG in claiming that people are willing to pay more taxes to an incompetent, inept, corrupt government that spends their tax money enriching themselves and their cronies, buying votes, and paying for mismanaged, unpopular programs and failed policies. Reid is NOT using his common sense. Half the people of this country pay ZERO taxes.
BOSTON (AP) -- Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is docking his family's new $7 million yacht in neighboring Rhode Island, allowing him to avoid paying roughly $500,000 in taxes to the cash-strapped Bay State.
If the "Isabel" were kept at the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee's summer vacation home on Nantucket, or in Boston Harbor near his city residence, he would be liable for $437,500 in one-time sales tax. He would also have to pay $70,000 in annual excise taxes.
there has to be a clause to remove mentally insane people from positions of government.
or did he just admit all the liberals who are bitching about their healthcare coverqge increasing double or triple have really been rich republicans all along?!?
walking lying joke.

Harry doesn’t seem to understand the term ‘Capital Strike’. Been going on since 2007, the year the ‘Progressives’ set the agenda. There are still many on ‘slow roll’ that will that’s WILL shut it down!
With all due respect, Senator Reid, you can KMA.
Well, there you have it.
Next time, according to Harry, the Pubbies' job is to give way on sequestration. Otherwise, he and Obama will shut down the government and blame it on the Republicans.
Anything like a "Grand Bargain" is a pipe-dream -- which, I believe, is a good thing. Why even attempt such a thing with a party that won't negotiate in good faith?
I already pay 6 figures a year in taxes. No, I do not want ti pay more.
He and MOST politicians, Ted Cruz NOT included, have forgotten the cardinal rule of politics.
