I appreciate as always the banter, but in the interest of full disclosure and surely this will trigger a hen email or 4, but Im not so sure Obama is not really the best candidate.
Honestly.
Carry on.

True, but cry me a river for the people making $2.9 million+ per year. Seriously. Tell me they are seriously going to miss $700K.
Big chunk of change...no doubt. I'm just not losing sleep over it.

Call me an asshole, but since I'm not wealthy, I don't give a shit.
You will give a shit when the wealthy guy who hired you for your job decides to close up shop so he can put all his money into tax free bonds to avoid paying ridiculous taxes.
The wealthy can easily divert their income/assets, and will easily do so to avoid taxes, to the detriment of the lower classes.

Exactly, sarge. Every action has an equal and opposite REaction. Middle class people are fools to call for outrageous taxes on the rich so that they can get a $400 tax break each year. Rich people will get around it and the middle class will waste on lottery tickets and Rumple.

Doubtful, IMO. What's the rationale there? If they want to remain American Citizens, they are going to pay taxes (whether they move to another country or not) and I can't see wealthy business owners just boarding up the windows so they can move every penny they have into tax free bonds.
Plus, there are going to be a million loopholes for tax shelters anyway.

Have you seen our economy lately? Not as bad as some people say, but how has it been working not making anyone pay taxes and spending like drunken congressmen?
The Obama plan is basically "If you make 3/4+ million per year, you're going to start pulling your weight".

You don't think they pull their weight, huh?
Let's assume they are a business owners, f-d, you ever seen payroll taxes? And do you think these people are not paying anything? The people, honestly, that are not pulling their weight are actually the poor, who directly take government assistance and all SORTS of programs and staff to monitor them.
No, jackholes, I am not saying "tax the poor", just that the whole "Rich Person not paying any taxes" notion is absurd. Just dangerous to take away the incentive to make more money.

There are different schools of thought, GGB. The rich do pull their weight compared to the poor when it comes to taxes...not even close (obviously).
Taxing the rich doesn't take away their incentive to make money, though. If you're making $750K per year and your tax rate goes from 33% to 40% (for instance), what would your next course of action be? Trying to make more money or trying to trim your income to under $330K?
I'm not saying tax hikes are a lock to be great for the economy. I'm just saying raising taxes on the rich isn't a lock to hurt the economy by any stretch.

He's becoming more faithful. OK.
Since he's half-Muslim, why isn't Michelle Hussein Obama forced to wear a half burka in public?

I agree...I obviously don't have a problem with religious charities, but I have a pretty big one with taxpayer dollars being funneled to them.

Based on what we know about M. Hussein's cognitive disabilities, she probably wouldn't be able to figure out how to put it on.

I am always glad to see that special interest groups are running wild across the world and not just here at home.
Perhaps PETA can let us know about how that ad was cruel and unusual, as well.
