someday they will have to accept the real facts and history
You mean like that fact that everyone paid much higher income taxes in the good ol' days when the top bracket was 90%?

You're not standing with him. You're on your knees in front of him.In his first event at the White House since beating Republican Mitt Romney in Tuesday's election, Obama called on Congress to work with him to produce a plan and invited congressional leaders to meet with him next week.
"I'm not wedded to every detail of my plan. I'm open to compromise. I'm open to new ideas," he said.
The "fiscal cliff" of steep government spending cuts and tax increases due to be implemented under existing law in early 2013 is Obama's most pressing challenge after winning a second term.
Aimed at cutting the federal budget deficit, the planned measures could take an estimated $600 billion out of the economy and severely hinder economic growth.
While striking a conciliatory tone toward the Republican House majority, Obama said voters supported his ideas, including raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans.
"I just want to point out, this was a central question during the election. It was debated over and over again. And on Tuesday night we found out that the majority of Americans agree with my approach," he said.
Time to stand with the President or get out of the way.
Because taking money away from people makes them more prosperous.If they taxed them 100% - it would barely create a small blip on the deficit radar.
A fact that the left just won't address....too busy getting a sugar buzz off the kool aid.
100%? tax the wealthy at the same rate they were taxed under those sooooo bad Clinton years.
what a loser you are
Yes, a large number of people who pay little in taxes voted to raise taxes on just a few who pay a great deal in taxes. .Time to stand with the President or get out of the way.
Nope. Time for the govt to do without.
Unfortunately for you, the majority of Americans voted for the Presidents view, not yours
Even your little tin god can't make a hundred billion cancel out a trillion.It's Begun: Winner of Election says tax hike on rich should be part of fiscal deal
Obama says tax hike on rich should be part of fiscal deal
This is it. The majority now needs to back the President with more than just a vote. We need to say to our friends and opponents "help, get out of the way"
Stand with the President!
still stuck on rabble rousing class warfare stupid eh?
$73- 100 Bn is what they projected to net form the tax rate s expiring on the slimy evil rich ( that voted for obama over Romney BIG btw, suckers )
so on a budget deficit of $1.3 a year, thats 1 Trillion 300 BN, we are talking about $100 Bn? ..... and the years there after it will go down as they shift their $$$$...
you're being used, think for yourself for a change.
you people are all over the place with magical math
when it comes to cutting a small program, you say 'every little bit helps' and when it comes to tackling the budget and deficits with ending tax cuts you say ''that's to little' so...little matters on one hand and not on the other
can't have it both ways, no matter how hard you try
and when Wealthy people lobby for benefits for Wealthy? It's class warfare because everyone else gets screwed

Actually it reached 91% while we were paying for the second world war. The point is this......the middle class made this country great. They fought, they worked, they died to set in place and protect every system which is being used today. Now the money grubbing upper class has methodically managed to keep the marginal rates at a level where it's little trouble for them to use write-offs and pay at a rate lower than what the middle class worker pays. It's no longer fair. Didn't you see the papers? Romney made twenty million and was only taxed at a 14% rate. My wife and I are taxed at that rate and we make less than $100K. If the goddamned rich ass bunch is gonna end up with all the money let their asses go 10,000 miles away and die in the sand.
How has raising taxes treated most of europe these days? That's a good model for what will hapen here.
Remember, the purpose of the US Treasury is to pay back Dem party donors.Indeed
the crony capitalism promoted by politicians should stop..
Too bad Papa Obama won't stop feeding his "business buddies"

Hey fellow......the chart I presented shows the rich people. You know.....the Republicans who have been running things most of the time for the last thirty years.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Friday he was prepared to compromise with Republicans to avert a looming U.S. fiscal calamity, but insisted a tax increase for the rich must be part of any bargain.
Obama, who was re-elected on Tuesday, reminded Republicans that his approach to avoiding steep tax hikes and spending cuts due in January, which could trigger another recession, had just won the backing of Americans at the polls. His spokesman said he would veto any deal that did not include an extra contribution from the wealthiest.

Hey fellow......the chart I presented shows the rich people. You know.....the Republicans who have been running things most of the time for the last thirty years. Like I said..........you can't read.
yeah because there are no rich Democrats in Congress that have been helping run things..
If I were you I'd be ashamed to say that:
What happens when you run out of their money, Comrade?Because taking money away from people makes them more prosperous.100%? tax the wealthy at the same rate they were taxed under those sooooo bad Clinton years.
what a loser you are
not worried about the Super Wealthy becoming less prosperous.
It's been repeatedly shown to you that the money realized from "taxing the rich" wouldn't touch the debt. You really think the class warriors won't want to raise taxes higher?How has raising taxes treated most of europe these days? That's a good model for what will hapen here.
Europe? No one is talking about raising taxes to the level nations in Europe did.
good gawd, you are truly an idiot in a class of your own.

Or at least Obama thinks so.
