Politicians love to raise taxes -- and it's not just the Democrats! Do you think that those who are successful and achieve greater income should have to pay a disproportionally greater share of the tax burden?

FOXNEWS.COM reports:
President Obama, amid charges of waging class warfare, is expected to push Monday for a tax hike on families earning more than $250,000 -- and an extension of the Bush-era tax rates for families making less than that.

So if that is what you mean, then I guess, yeah... I support 'war', WHERE JUSTIFIED.
Please tell me what war was Justified? I fought in the last truly 'justifiable' war, and it wasn't in the last 12 years.
But for your information, yes it was justified. Ask the families and friends of the more than 3,000 people who lost their lives that day. Or even better, why don't you personally contact them and give THEM your drivel of thought that the Mid-East wars on their family member's behalf (as well as the welfare of this ENTIRE NATION) was a farce. I'm sure they'll be very 'nice' to you to hear it.
You see, what you fail to realize is that if we did NOT act to defend this Nation after having already been attacked, the other Nations (chiefly the ones I'd specified) would see our weakness and unwillingness to act, and then to attack even more ruthlessly - because they'd see we would not lift a finger to preserve ourselves and our very welfare itself.
By the way, if your next feeble argument is about the WMD's - they were moved to Syria, and Syria has just moved them elsewhere again. Do you perchance even bother to peruse the global news at all? They did exist and they still do exist, and they are a grave threat, and not just ...

They did exist and they still do exist, and they are a grave threat, and not just to us. These people do not reason the way we do, they only want annihilation of the "West", nothing more and nothing less. And if we were to abide it... again, we would be FOOLS.
At any rate, if you are so against our defending ourselves then do the Arabs a favor and kill yourself, because that's what they want. Only death to you and to me and to everyone else who is NOT a part of their DEATH CULT called "Islam".
Oh, and you know that they were moved to Syria? Yes, I do seek out global news daily, also at the time that the 'wmd's' were supposed to have been moved. I know, that whole UN inspection through out the 90's saying the WMD's were gone doesn't phase an old truth hound like you, eh?
And Again, can you please tell me what nation wants the west destroyed? Death Cult called "Islam" Wow, are they anything like that Death Cult called Christianity? Of that Death Cult like Jewish?
BTW for you fools that believe it is only the wealthy that will have their taxes raised. You better think again. The bush tax cuts barry wants to extend, Those tax cuts will be extended a year maybe two at most. then everybody gets it. Not to mention all the tax increases that are associated with obummercare.......
He has said he wants to extend the tax cuts on those making less than $250,000, and once done, can't reverse it.
He's already cut your taxes SEVERAL times. There's probably an extra $3,660 in your pocket because of Barack Obama.
I don't know why some people insist in believing conspiracy theories.
The Affordable Healthcare Act was funded from day one by cutting the fat from the Budget; they trimmed out over a trillion dollars in the first ten years to pay for it.
The only people that will see any penalty are those with a big tax return coming, that haven't bought health care insurance even though they can afford it.
The idea is stolen directly from the conservative Heritage Institute. They came up with the plan in the 90's, and Mitt Romney implemented it in Massachusetts.
The irony was that when Mitt gave his anti-Obamacare speech, he did it from the roof of the Heritage Institute, the very people that invented RomneyCare.
If you want to know how it will work out, ask somebody from Massachusetts. They seem pretty happy with it, Mandate and all.
BTW it ain't gonna be just the rich that will have their taxes go up.............
Remember, when John McCain was asked "what's your definition of Middle Class?", he said, "anybody making up to $5 Million dollars a year.
A-huh.
Brilliant !!
And then they went to the BEST schools, the BEST colleges, and learned the BEST business contacts.
Stuff that the ordinary smart businessman can't even touch is just handed to them. And they, of course, think it's because they're just THAT smart.
If one wants the best schools, then work for them. i know many that have gone to good schools and done very well, i know some that have no school and have done better.
weither it was handed to them or not is irrelevant .. one is responsible for their own path to make .. some have an easier life some dont. the world needs ditch diggers and the worlds needs leaders.
Bill Gates; no, his mom was pretty well off. He went to Harvard.
Steve Jobs; Yes. Didn't have much money, didn't even GO to college, built a couple of companies with and without Steve Wozniak, died with $6 Billion Dollars.
Mark Zuckerberg; Maybe. He's pretty bright. I wouldn't be surprised if he got one of those rare-as-hen's-teeth scholarships to Harvard.
The truth is, most self-made people don't make more than $1M a year.
The people at the top, like the Wall Street Hedge Fund Managers, are making,
on average, $2 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
And they are paying maybe 14% taxes on it. And laughing all the way to their Swiss Bank.
They don't WORK. They manipulate the Stock Market and squeeze out money from oil and gas futures. Which drives up the cost of gas.
It's the Republicans that believe in "Trickle Down Supply Side Economics".
We've been trying that, over and over, since Reagan. With a brief recovery under Clinton.
So, how's your Supply Side Economics working out for you?
And if you don't like it, you can take your rich ass out of Obamerica!
Somethings wrong with you.
Which is why the Republican Governors are working hard to take that away from them.
It is NEVER the amount that equals the same proportunently ,... it is always the same % , that will be equal when it comes to the tax burden on the individual .
DON'T ever let them talk doggie poow poow either concerning job growth or decline either ,... because it isn't their business that the tax collector is seeking more from , it the owner personally (their W-2 form at the end of the year , as an individual) , that needs to be equal proportunently (the %) as the rest of us have to .
Ronald Reagan said the same thing. I guess that makes him a Socialist.
