Please explain why you Republicans support the wealthy over your own middle class?

[flacaltenn]

Interestingly enough, the wealthy have seen their incomes increase 265 percent while the rest of us only have increased 18 percent.

If you are quoting the 2011 CBO propaganda piece that purposely only analyzes data up to the economic crash in 2007 -- then those numbers are bogus. There is a gap.. I don't see the justification for targeting authors, sports stars, entertainers, doctors and the rest of the MAJORITY of 1% -- do you? NBA salaries TRIPLED during that time as well. Is that a personal problem to you?

Sorry for the repetition -- but ---
Can't get an answer from ANY class warrior on this forum (except the honest board Socialist who says pilfer them too)... Evidently the DailyKos hasn't given them their opinion on that yet...

You're truncating the quote from Smith, Uncensored.

I'm not trying to "get at" anybody. We need to pay the bills. I'm good with only letting the higher brackets go back to the pre-Bush tax cuts, though.

By "we" you mean "they," by "the" you mean "my."

They need to pay my bills.

The message of the left boils down to "Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee" in every case.

Bullshit. My message is raise the taxes on those able to afford it, and that means me. I am willing to pay more in taxes. The nation needs tax dollars to run.

You're calling the a CBO article "propaganda"?

Why not ask the people at the top to pay more? They are benefiting tremendously from the money spent by the government.

Who's THEY? Does that include Oprah, The Dallas Cowboys, Michael Crighton, Lady GaGa?

Explain how the MAJORITY of the 1%ers are "benefitting tremendously" PRESUMABLY at your expense.

And the CBO report is Junk. CBO is a bunch of statistician whores for hire who will publish whatever Congress demands from them. (See the estimates they blew on ANY recent program costs). Why would they tout and publish a BRAND NEW REPORT on the wealth gap using only data leading UP TO -- but not including the economic crash of the 2008?? Are they THAT FAR BEHIND on their data? NO -- they needed to make the gap seem as LARGE as possible.. Cherry picking numbers is REAL popular for biased partisian reports. You should smell this one a mile away...

But then again -- you weren't aware that there was of nothing of value in the SS Trust Fund -- so maybe you're under the impression that the GOVT actually is "THERE TO HELP YOU"...

The infrastructure provided by the government, in combination with their skills and luck, have made them richer.

99% of us are suffering from the decisions to cut and cut and cut taxes for the wealthy. We have not seen the promised improved jobs market, and we are simply not paying the bills around here.

Lady GaGa gets SUBSIDIES? Bailouts? Infrastructure? You counting a GOVT furnished meat locker for her wardrobe that we don't know about? None of your business that's she's "richer". SHE didn't spend the TRILLIONS of debt we've incurred since she got famous. SHE didn't steal the Excess FICA that is hurting today's budget. And SHE didn't start the 10 year wars and bombing/rebuilding programs abroad. No more than YOU did..

You ain't got a reason do ya? The CEO of Caterpillar makes LESS than 20 stars in the NBA.. Does that get your diaper in a bunch???

Government Addiction and Spending Habits are way out of line. No amount of Taxation will fix the Problem. It is a Disorder, only effected by Tough Love.

Only thing that can squelch it is freezing spending right now...and then figuring out where to cut across the board...and it's going to HURT millions.

Tough love indeed..but needs to be done lest we fall hard and NEVER recover.

Truth is Obama DID inherit a time bomb -- but it's NOT the Bush tax cuts. No politician DARES to talk about it because it destroys the myth of Soc Sec solvency. So you haven't heard a PEEP about this..

In the late 90s, SS FICA was STILL running an 80 to $100B Surplus. It was projected to stay that way until 2017 -- but the long threatened apocalypse happened YEARS sooner than expected in 2010 when SS starting running a deficit. So whereas the Clowns were STEALING $80Bill a year, they now have to cough up about $80Bill a year.

That's a $160BILL difference in book balance per year right there!!!!

$1.0TRILL over 8 years if Obama remains in office.. He didn't CAUSE IT -- but he's making it worse by cutting FICA taxes out of "fairness". I guess he figures "what the hell" - It's not MY fault.. If politicians acknowledge that one "little" diff in the budget, it would scare the old folks.. So no one dares mention it..

Yeah -- OPRAH needs to fix that....
