Obama's Tax Plan and the Plumber

[mendeleev 68]

For over 100 years, there's been broad consensus that progressive taxation -- that is, those who are richer should pay relatively more -- is a fundamentally fair tax policy. Bush and the republicans turned that on its head these past few years, giving huge tax cuts only to the wealthy while increasing taxes on the rest of us.

Now those rich folks on Wall Street have brought us a huge financial crisis. Times are changing, and rich folk who have been getting a free ride are going to have to pay their fair share.

Just admit that you libs can't take care of yourselves and need the government and the money of successful citizens to do so.

In other words, you want to go on welfare.

Admit it!

We do?

Rich folks have options. It's one of the perks of being rich. We don't have to stick around and take it. Wealth is amazingly portable and we vote with our feet.

You're a part of society. Don't like it? Take the money and gtfo.

Society isn't a stomping ground for the rich, and would be just fine without you.

Our resident multi-millionaire is deigning to grace us with her presence once again, all bow to her most gracious self.

I wouldn't care if you were rich - but quite clearly you are not.

What? You leavin'? Don't let the door... well, you know. If you believe your candidate and his barbie doll, there isn't a better workforce in the world than here in the US. That's who makes the money, isn't it? You sure you want to leave that behind? Then again, don't let it hit you on the way out.

[Sofiyya 1,687]

Didn't say anyone was leaving, just the wealth.

Finally you've come out of the closet! You are a "librul" and you deserve what you get.....Are you going to vote for Obama...I mean Acorn affords everyone the opportunity to vote, illegals, "residents" such as yourself and lots of rodents.....

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

These are the loopholes that need to be closed.

[Peikko 1,575]

Kaydee, that was disgusting. There are an awful lot of legal permanant residents around here.

Indeed.

[Peikko 1,575]

Comparing us all with rodents? That is about as big a violation of TOS as I have seen in a very long time. You should be totally ashamed.

Mickey, Minnie and Mighty Mouse are rodents - and registered voters. Who included you among them other than you?

What the poll numbers are not showing are the number of white voters that will not vote for Ovomit no matter what and there are a lot more of the white voters than the black. Simple math.

You deserve what you vote for!

He can't tell the difference between being "neighborly" and being forced to give up part of what you earn.

Carry on VW, put your feet firmly in the #### too. There is absolutely no call to lump LPR's with illegals and rodents, none whatsoever, particularly on an immigration message board. I have a lot of fun and mess around as do we all, but there are some lines we don't cross. Simple as that.
