Obama Presser: Give Me My Tax Hikes Right Now, Before Anything Else, As a Show of Good Faith
Ace @ Ace of Spades HQ:
He just finished speaking.
I cant believe we have to listen to this guy for another four years.
I cant believe it. I really cant. Im still processing this this happened.
Another four miserable, impoverished years.
Heres an idea. I dont know if this is a good idea. I imagine some will be pretty angry about it.
8 of the 10 wealthiest counties in the country voted for Obama, and thus higher taxes.
Fine.
Heres my compromise solution. Lets agree to raise taxes on income greater than, say, $600,000 per year. Or better yet $1,000,000 year, which is what Joe Biden claimed their policy was in a debate.
But well insist that investment income rates be lowered.
Why? Because Hollywood-types and other celebrities (rappers, athletes, Bruce Springsteen) make a lot in income.
They want their income taxed at higher rates? Fine. You got it.
I know a lot of innocent Republicans will be trapped by this. Thats why I dont know if its a good idea. But it seems likely to me we will lose (Obama doesnt mind if he crashes the US economy by taking us over the cliff; hell get a poll boost out of it).
So punish those who voted for this. Its what they wanted; give it to them.
