The ploy of the liberal left is to get
the minds of voters off of Obama's failed economic and domestic as well as
foreign policies by stirring up covetousness, jealousy and outright greed! In
other words,-"Don't look at me but the other guy"! And since the
majority of the media has grabbed an oar to paddle Obama’s boat (Titanic) they
are also doing all they can to facilitate the controversy,
mudslinging, innuendos and outright lies.
A thinking person would know that the IRS has been carefully
scrutinizing
this man’s taxes for years to make sure he is paying every nickel and dime that
the government is entitled to! But Marxist agenda is to make others jealous of those that built up their
wealth by hard work and innovative means which is in accordance with the
philosophy of the American dream and way. Meanwhile while they misdirect the populace’s attention
they use subvert means to increase the tax obligation of the masses by
direct taxation or hiding them in their social ‘improvement’ agenda programs.
Concurrently the media does not draw attention to the hypocrisy
of the administration! We have 36 Obama
aides owing $833,000 in back taxes!

“President Barack Obama has preached that all Americans
should pay their fair share in taxes, but a government report finds that tens
of thousands of federal employees - from staffers in Congress to those in federal agencies and even Obama's
executive office - collectively owe the government billions in back taxes.
“Data from the Internal Revenue Service show that more than 279,000 federal employees and retirees 0wed $3.4 billion in back income taxes
as of Sept. 30, 2010”.

As a citizen and voter aren’t you getting tired
of all the hypocrisy and feel that it is time to hold this current and all
future administrations accountable? Will you show the media
you are also tired of their hypocritical and biased reporting as
well? Do you believe in the old adage that to clean house you start at the top
and work your way down? Or will you run out and allow yourself to be riled up
as a member of a pack of rabid dogs chasing a false scent?

Its not in the Cayman's best interest to run their deep pocket depositors off to Singapore or to Chile or to whereever. Please explain why you think the Caymans would even consider doing something that would give them such a one time only short flash gain... at the risk of killing their long term relationships with their wealthy patrons? Please explain that...
Actually, Premier Bush calls the new tax (paid by foreign workers) a "community enhancement fee".
Then again, you are the folks that just elected a socialist that has promised you the world while telling you that taxing "The Rich" will pay for it. With The Rich, packing up and leaving, "Hows that workin' out for ya?"
Do all these wealthy parasites plan to end up in Somalia?
Is that what you "hear"? Can you provide citation for your claim? The data I see comes from the U.S. Census Bureau that shows
With any luck, Obama will be moving back to Chicago next January. But Romney's tax proposals would maintain the same level of taxation on "the rich" who currently pay most of the tax bill
"Do all these wealthy parasites plan to end up in Somalia?"
In order to answer your question, you must first define your terms. What is a "wealthy parasite"? Does one become wealthy via parasitical tenencies? Or do they become wealthy by providing a good or service that people voluntarily choose to exchange their earnings for the service or product provided by the vendor who became wealthy by providing a good or service that is in demand by her clients and customers?
Again, please define "wealthy parasite" and why government as an agent of plunder, should treat these productive citizens differently from the rest of the citizens?
I'm curious how one becomes "wealthy" by being a parasite as opposed to the only way I know of becoming wealthy, i.e. by providing goods or services to other who voluntarily choose to buy those services or products.
I retired after starting a small auto parts supply business, selling repair parts to garages and auto service businesses. Over a 25 year period, I expanded the company to sell those products to customers that did repairs for themselves. I went from a borrowed $3000 in credit card debt to buy my initial inventory to a business with 24 employees and four locations in two cities. In our peak, we did over $12 million in gross sales volume when we sold out to a Fortune 500 company. I'm curious if my husband & I may fit your definition of "parasites" as we are comfortably retired.
You are clearly NOT "wealthy parasites". Both my sons have also created their own successful TV production companies.
But many people who have inherited fortunes and refuse to contribute to the public good are parasites. Like the thousands of aristocrats we guillotined back in the 1790s.
I fear that our current tax system is effectively "guillotining" our own productive class of citizens as they pack their bags and move from the high tax states (California, New Jersey, New York, Illinois, et-al) to low tax states (Texas, Florida, Tenn., Idaho and others). In addition, some are actually leaving the country for places like Chile, Singapore, Cayman Islands, and other low tax refuges. They still provide their goods and services to their customer base and pay taxes on the profits made on them, but paying multiple times on the same transaction requires some innovative relocation on the part of many of those in the ultra high income brackets.

The shameless Dems will use anything no matter how pathetic to try to make the other guy look worse that they do. An impossible task at this point!
I am outraged that 42% now pay NO income tax and in fact receive a payment for not doing so - - - fair; I don't think so.
In 1979, the poorest 20% of earners paid no income tax. By 2007, that same group had a negative income tax rate of 6.8%. In other words, they took home 6.8% more than they paid in to the federal government. Middle income Americans paid an effective income tax rate (the amount paid after deductions) of 7.5% in 1979. That rate was cut to 3.3% in 2007, a drop of more than 50%.
What about those dastardly one percenters? Back in the days of Jimmy Carter, Americans in the top one percent of earners paid an effective tax rate of 21.8%. The effective tax rate fell all the way to ... wait for it ... 19%.
Even when taking into account all federal taxes, the poor and middle class have benefited more than their wealthy counterparts. In 1979, the total effective federal tax rate (including payroll taxes, excise, capital gains, estate, and corporate taxes) was 8% for the poorest Americans and 18.6% for middle income earners. Thanks to the Reagan and Bush tax cuts, those rates fell 50% and 23%, respectively. The top one percent of earners had their total effective tax rate fall 21% over the same time period.

By the way: The effective tax rate for middle income earners is 3.3% Romney paid 15% +
i bet it will not seem so "fair" to the rest of us, and thats why he doesn't want us to see them.
If you don't like what happens then fight to make the tax laws more "fair" Push for a flat tax! That way everyone pays their fair share including the ones who pay nothing!
He has shown what the law requires. Why don't you ask Obama to show his records.
lets get it all out in the open and discuss it... how is that jealousy? Seems to me like you are just trying to keep ppl from asking questions.
as for a flat tax, its already pretty well understood that a system like that is LESS fair than a graduated tax system... assuming the wealthy actually PAY what they are supposed to pay under that system and not "shelter" money somewhere so that it cant' be taxed.
you sound like you want to defend the status quo and when pressed you will throw chaff like "flat tax" to detract.
its not going to work.
a flat tax system is unfair to lower incomes because they can least afford it.
when you have ONE family (the waltons) holding 40% of the wealth in America, something is wrong.
