Democrats' Plan Would Benefit Middle Class, Target Rich

a reply to: JiggyPotamus
No, people complain about the so called plan to tax rich people at higher rates because they know the filthy rich have their money in tax shelters and it will be the middle class who will pay. It's that simple really. The basic upper class to wealthy already paying their fair share. You really think Ms Pelosi is going to pay hers? I think NOT!

30 percent for all that have no tax shelter as it is. If all people had to pay that much (including the wealthy) we wouldnt have the trillions of debt we have me thinks.

You do realize that we are paying much more than that now? We make less than six figures and are in the 39% bracket for Federal. Then we add in state taxes which puts us over 45% on our income. And we live in a low tax state.

So much for paying our fair share and we aren't rich.

It has caused my jaw to drop to the floor with the difference between reality and your fantasy of reality.

You couldn't be more wrong. What country do you live in, and were you alive in 2008?

You have really pushed my buttons this morning.; I lost a #load of money in 2008, and you are here to tell me it didn't happen?
Or to call me a moron?

Please just go away.

If you lost money in 2008 you have no one to blame but yourself. It was a temporary blip in the market, just like all sell-offs. Unless you buy into the BS that the U.S. Is over. In which case, you should not be investing in our future since it doesn't exist.

Anyway, the facts are just as I posted. I feel Sorry for you if you don't believe them.

BTW, I was in my 20's in 08 and lived in the US.

Thanks for that. You're a real sweetheart.

Think of it like a payback for all the bailouts.

Kinda what I thought, but as you see, the thread went the other way. Mob Rule.

Anyway, I only check this thread every day or two,(because I don't really want to be here.)

Thanks for your thoughts!

The Democrats ALWAYS say that...they ALWAYS are for the little guy. Didnt you know that?

I am 60 years old, I have been following politics for over 40 years now. Same Old Shist Different Day.

What is it now? 7 of the richest 10 congress members are Democrats? Yeah...they KNOW what it is like living paycheck to paycheck....just ask them.

If you believe that claptrap and that the Democrats are going to fix everything then I guarantee you that you are under 30 years old or you are a moron.

UNNNNbelievable *shakes head*

P.T. Barnum was absolutely correct. The govt depends on it.

Abolish all income taxes against individuals and businesses.

DONOT support the rich or listen to their rhetoric spit at you through politicians,preachers,ads,tv, "conservative" sources (BS).....thats just another way of drinking the coolaid..if you think its just obama or think that one side is more "right" than the other you have fallen directly into their trap.........Do not support the rich. Do not believe ANY politician or politically-inclined preacher,journalist,media personality.plain and simple. Or you are supporting the system which works against YOU
