  • I remember reading about President Carter paying more taxes than was legally payable; the people who recommend paying more tax, are they contributing more tax now?

  • Pay 80% of your money to taxes, no one is stopping you

  • Please take my money and give to people who didn't earn it. Also, be sure to keep plenty for your administration so you can live it up at the white house. I don't want it, and I don't want my family to have it either. I want it to go to illegal, wait, I mean undocumented people's services.

    Jesus Christ. This guy is a fucking moron. I want to punch him in the face.

  • He can easily write a check to the government for however much he wants to give. Redistributing wealth has never worked without the aid of a repressive and tyrannical government. The results of governmental socialism are currently on display in Europe. The truth is, capitalism is the best system out there which has raised living standards dramatically for people across the globe.

  • @CRTtoVIP Europeans have more freedom than Americans living in the Police State Of America.

  • The Federal Government doesn't have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. Meanwhile Obama, following Bush's lead, thinks that he can spend his way out of debt in the same way that drilling holes in the bottom of a boat is meant to let water drain out. All raising taxes on "the rich" does is give incentives to move the assets offshore.

  • @kev3d The Government doesn't have a revenue problem. It doesn't have a spending problem. It has a ruled too long by ignorant inbred trailer trash problem. That has changed now and things are looking better. I am pro Patriot Act now that WE are in power and can use it to round up the traitors and criminals who caused the U.S. and world econimies to crash. You have no knowledge of history or great civilizations. Left up to you our greatest achievement would be "The Worlds Largest Trailer Park.

  • Does anyone think Bush could have answered the question like that?

  • Is Stubbornotter a duche? Hollywood drives this president's PR and loan their expertise to promote his propaganda. The question ask, the question answered, was just like some of the sitcoms no one watches. Cliche to the max and stubborotter thinks this was real. Yes I belong to the Tea Party, but I'm no felcher, a man who spits out another man's semen, and a teabagger, the favorite sport of Status and Socialist. Deal with it.

  • Raise the taxes Obama and see more jobs leave this country

  • @flahr1 We needs to raise taxes on the wealthy like Regan did and build bridges and roads and schools and infrastucture/job taining etc HERE. Not overseas. That's what this is about.

  • @richardsmithmusic Taxes are not the problem with the US. Remember this: Raising taxes will not save the united states economy

  • @flahr1 depends what you spend the revenue on....it can ruin or help the economy depending where you help it..

    

  • @spamgate1 That's the stock talking point of the conservative parasite class. "You first, I'm not paying."

  • To all those who wish to pay more in taxes. You do not have to wait for a bill to be signed into law. Just go to treasurydirect.gov and donate all of the money that you wished you were being forced to pay.

  • How not to answer a question at a question and answer forum, brilliant.

    If he was a select plant, then why didn't Obummer pick a question that he could answer, instead of we're workin' on it.

  • Fat Hillbilly Trailer Trash knock this Google Millionaire? This is a guy who got an education with tax money, saved his life with medicin created by tax payer research. Lived through childhood because tax payer backed food inspectors kept him from eating tainted food. He used the Highway system created and kept safe with tax money. He used electricity and water systems built with tax money. He got rich using the Internet developed with tax money.

    He created JOBS! More than any Teabagger did

  • @STUBBORNOTTER I've noticed that since the postings have questioned why Buffet didn't send the money he feels he owes o the US Treasury the liberals have resorted to just name calling. That's the typical reaction, when you can't win an argument call the other guy a name. The people who feel like me have won the argument. Right on!

  • @gottchem3 Who is name calling? I am accurately portraying the demographics of most TeaBaggers. Mostly obese hence fat. Mostly poorly educated and easily deluded ergo ignorant. Mostly poor rural and living in substandard housing therefore Hillbilly Trailer Trash. I did not include the fact that Tebagger Republicans are mostly sociopaths but there is only so much space. Last 12 years I heard from you: Socialist Commie, Faggot, Nigger, Wet Back, Pin Head. At least your not in the Klan. I hope.

  • @gottchem3 If this was a difference of opinion there could be civil discourse. I can't reason with sociopaths. The truth has no meaning for you. You have faith based opinion while I have fact based opinions. As your opinions are based on faith you will not hesitate to lie in order to support your position. We have had 12 years of Bush tax cuts that destroyed the world economy. Yet you, like the captain of the Titanic say full speed ahead. 80% of people want to raise taxes on the 1%.

  • Where did you get the Idea I live in my parents basement? I get it Mitt the Shit committed voter fraud by falsely stating he and his wife lived in his son's unfinished bsement. Two of only 8 cases of true voter fraud and they are Republicans. You know I live with your mom and the rest of my stable. She's not a great earner, mostly due her serious weight issues and that smell. Guess there arn't as many guys out there wanting fat women as I thought. Oh well THAT'S FREE ENTERPISE!

  • @STUBBORNOTTER Cause I drove by your house and saw your Gremlin parked next to the sofa on you porch. Leave my mother out of it you worthless piece of shit and go back to your basement bedroom.

  • @gottchem3 Your mother would tell you the shut up and stop acting like a fool herself except for the fact that her mouth is pretty full right now. Last night she help me trace your family history on Ancestry dot com. So for your sake I posted it on Youtube. Enjoy. and Your welcome.

    watch?v=wUuTIyz9XYI

  • @STUBBORNOTTER My mother died last Oct 22,2010 at the age of 93. The private emails you have sent me are beyond vile. You have the sickest mind I have ever seen on the internet, you really need help. If this is all you can resort to, you lost, we won.

  • @gottchem3 Don't start shit there won't be shit. Check the threat who started talking about parents first? You did. Isn't that just like a bully, stand up to them they break down into a blubbering sack of crap. You are the QUINTESSENTIAL TeaBagger a small, ignorant cowardly lion. You're not a real person. I believe you are one of those taking $50/ hour from the Koch brothers to spew hate on the internet. A Koch bitch. Every American deserves what your mother had. Gov. Health Care and S.S.

  • Teabaggers started as an anti wall street anti bailout for rich elite corporations. Basically the occupy wall street movement now. The Koch brothers and other rich elites bought off the teabaggers, changed the message from anti wall street, anti bailouts for rich, anti tax breaks for rich elites, and turned it into an anti Obama, anti democrat, pro war, pro rich, pro wall street, tax the workers not the rich, anti health care platform. Fox news and corporate media helped them do this.

  • @chuck3377 Totally right. I hope FOX just falls off the face of the earth...VERY SOON!

  • Imagine here in NY, 28% out of paycheck, then social/disabil/medicare, making it 33% of each pay check. Then on whats left, 6k a year in school/property tax, then 8.75% in sales tax on each item I buy after taxes already stated payed. Tax on gasoline to commute to work, so I can pay the taxes. If you realize it all its like 110% taxes, have to run like a rat just to pay the taxes, you feel it when your in your car commuting dont you, that thought in your head it doensnt have to be this way.

  • Please raise taxes on corporations and rich elites so they are the same as mine, 33%, 28% plus socail/medi/dis, plus school tax $5,0000 per year her in NY, property tax $2,000 per year here in NY, and then sales tax on every item I purchase after paying those taxes 9% on every item, which equals 75% total, more than Europe or Canada. Please stop spending trillions upon trillions on fake reasoned endless wars.

  • @chuck3377 Great post please keep up the good work. This is war and these sociopaths need to be shut down. They are less than 18% of the population but claim to speak for the American People. They Lie. They are sucking up to the 400 rich families who are not content with over 90% of the wealth in this country, they want it all. They want to take it by driving down wages and cutting pensions. These Trailer Trash Teabaggers want the U.S to look like their broken down trailer parks.

  • @STUBBORNOTTER  How's that hope and change working for you? Were you able to move out of your parents basement yet?

  • We've been under Bush tax policies for 11 years now and they've failed. Time to raise taxes on the rich as cutting them didn't work and they hired no one.

    We are seeing the results of this failed policy all around us right now.

  • @coltor9 Well said. Please keep posting sense. You are not going to change the minds of the TeaBagger Sociopaths but the truth has to be out there to counter their lies.

  • @STUBBORNOTTER Very true. The Teabaggers are less than 8% of total voters but they THINK they are the majority somehow. I'm truly sick of these scum and listening to their failed policies of over 11 years now that we've accepted their failed Bush tax and economic policies and they have created ZERO jobs with their 11 years of tax cuts. They will do anything to bankrupt the country and let the infrstructure crumble us into 3rd world status to keep their Bush millionaire tax cuts.

  • @coltor9 We had been under a Democratic congress from 2006 to 2010. When Obama became President, he could have passed anything he wanted with them. Fortunately even the democrats did not support his marxist policies. He had to buy off quite a few democrats to barely pass obamacare. Get a clue moron and you will quit voting for the liars like obama, durbin, pelosi, reid, frank, dodd, etc.

  • Why are all of these rich people who have moved heaven and earth to avoid paying taxes now calling for higher taxes? Because when this wave of inflation is over the homeless will be millionares. But a million may not be enough to buy a cup of coffee by then. This speach is a warning to those who understand what is going on here.

  • Egypt, Greece, Rome all collected taxes and used them to build great infrastructural wonders. These were public work projects that can only be done as nation. America use to be a great nation that build railroads, skyscrapers, dams, electrified rural areas, build great highways and bridges. No more. Because ignorant trailer trash who sucking up to trash with cash have run this country for the last 30 years. Now American bridges are falling down. No longer #1. Now we shout #47! #47

  • @STUBBORNOTTER Egypt, Greece, Rome....what happened to those societies? They collapsed and were eventually conquered because building monuments is not the same as prosperity. Yes, America did used to build railroads...until they invented cars and planes. Virtually all sky scrapers are privately built and even many roads and bridges, in fact some of the best roads are private toll roads. The government is larger than ever before and you want to give them even more money. Astounding.

  • @kev3d Stupid is as stupid does I guess. This government is a government of the people and by the people. If you hate our government you hate the American people. If you want less government you should leave this country and go to a country that has less government. Places like Hati, Somalia, or Albania. Wait better go to Albania. The other countries have too many black people and you hate black people. No pesky Hover Dam or Interstate Hwy systems. I hear Albania wants to put a man on the moon.

  • @PsychoBurgundy3 well unlike your selfish ass some of us care about the education, infrastructure, and betterment of our society through national projects. you idiots would never understand that. I dont make much but i live A VERY COMFROTABLE LIFE. if i get charged 1000 more and that helps my country do better and compete with the world they can have it. like i said even I, as a upper MIDDLE class person am willing to pay more taxes.

  • TeaBagger: A person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience. People who cheer that Perry killed over 200 people and when he executed an innocent person used the power of the state to cover it up. People who shout " let him die" in regard to a sick person without insurance. People who boo active duty soldiers. They defend torture. Ignorant trailer trash who should be put away at Gitmo via the Patriot Act.

  • He's speaking on behalf of all the "wealthy people." What good would it make if only he donated to the treasury. No one will follow suit.

  • Ever tax dollar they collect, a good portion will go to those poor bankers and lower income Wall Street Employees

  • i wander if my negro gana,did he will stop taxing the toilet paper?or u pink panties?or u chevy?or the light u use?how about the water n gas? u own house? u property?u education? hell the damn hamburguer u buy ?, this is the deal ,VOTE FOR THE 1 THAT WILL END THE TAXES APPLIED TO U MORE ESSENCIAL NEEDS , U PROPERTY AND U FREEDOM, then u all be free, for now my negros amarillos rojos cafeses azules y verdes u r a sack of walking bones that dont own anything ,much less any freedom..later slaves

  • Pay more fucking taxes then... you know you can literally donate money to the United States Treasury.

    What are these fuckers waiting for... their check from Obama to clear first...?

  • We dont have as big a spending problem as we have a REVENUE PROBLEM.

    TODAY THE GOV'T REVENUE AS A % OF GDP IS LOWER THAN IT'S BEEN IN DECADES

    PUT THE TAX RATES BACK WHERE THEY WERE UNDER GOD REAGAN & ALL WILL BE WELL

  • The problem isn't revenue it's spending.

  • Fucking hypocrite liars! WRITE A GODDAMN CHECK THEN!!! put you money where your mouth is and give back! Btw Warren buffets claims are complete fucking lies!

  • This is the Elizabeth Warren speech paraphrased. Excellent! This is what can happen when people help push something so that it goes viral...

  • I bet Michelle Obama can talk some pretty good head.

  • The drone was a plant and coordinated to make Obama look good. How stupid is this?

  • @kombibus Are you a plant or do you just have the I.Q of a plant. If Obama picked an choosed his audiance how do explain the guy who disrupted his town hall meeting by calling him the Anti Christ. How stupid is this?

    No, the question is: How stupid are you. Oh yeah dumb question.....You are a TeaBagger.

  • Pay more taxes then DIPSHIT... no one is stopping you from sending money into the Federal Government.

    OH YEAH... and the Government which is $15 trillion in debt is going to spend it really fucking well anyway... Government has an OUTSTANDING track record of spending money wisely... hmm, yeah, right.

  • @wReCktangle Get real, thias country needs to up the tax rate otherwise you won't have a bridge collapse under your car or your police dept. won't be there for you and on and on. Get off your hate track and care more that we are slipping in every institution. Does that make you feel good about being a citizen of your country?

  • @Fringe111 Why would I want anyone giving money to a shitty Government that can't manage money. It makes no sense. They are ALREADY $15 TRILLION in debt.. what makes you think that will change?

  • @wReCktangle I see, so you'd rather see us collapse? What you just said is a car bumper remark. No our Gov't needs to be changed but we also need revenues to keep us going. Look at the real world. How would it make you feel if you found out that your local police dept. had to close because the gov't can't sustain them. It's already happening. We do need taxes to keep our country strong

  • @Fringe111 I didn't say to STOP giving them money... I said they don't need MORE. They need to stop whatever spending put us into this unsustainable situation, and maintain the current tax rates. Simple as that.

  • @wReCktangle I would like to see us SPEND money on fixing our bridges and roads. Fixing the schools that are falling down around our kids. Spend on making this countries transportation number one again. That will employ thousands while upgrading our country. We are falling behind and for this country that's not acceptable.

  • Heart bleeders kill the economy by encourage illegals to come to america, not be a citizen, break our laws, get free medicare for their children, food stamps (programs from american tax payers), use stolen identitys to get jobs, and now in state tuition?!! illegals children have it better then less fortunate americans. we should have a banner that says *No social security number or passport? no problem* why do we have laws if there not being enforced!!!

  • Since demonrats are the super rich and want their taxes raised, they should have to pay 95% of all they make in taxes from here on out. Be careful what you wish for dums!

  • @ObowMao666 The rich did pay 90 percent back in the 50's under Eisenhower and this country still thrived.

  • @Fringe111 The highest rate was 90% but nobody paid it because of all the exemptions and shelters. When Kennedy became president he moved to lower the rates and more revenue came to the treasury.

  • the guy who asked the question was actually a CEO of Google . The real high payed executives dont have money in the US its overseas, their money is protected. People like Warren Buffet saying tax me , come on bullshit, it just a way for people to not think he is a crook like the rest of them.

  • @patrik643 Warren Buffet has written his entire fortune to charity - pretty decent crook I say. He made his money through hard work. Wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

  • @jasonadis Why does he bitch about taxes when "he has written his entire fortune to charity". Why is he in Federal court suing over a billion $ tax bill. He's a big phoney like all you liberals.

  • And the idiots clap..what a bunch of clowns..what planet are we on?

  • be a man - raise your own taxes - write a check and send it in you wuss

  • my question is... if he want to pay more money why doesntt he just write a check to the treasury of the united states ?

  • This pathetic doofus is a Democrat suckup who gives some his windfall PROFITS from Google to his Demoncrat fellow travelers because he never did a real days work in his life, and now feels guilty. Yeah Jackass, let the FEDS waste more than the over $4,000,000,000,000 they spend every year. Hey Jerk, it's not the FEDS money!!!!

  • This was obviously staged. The Obama regime and Google have been bedfellows for a very long time, this question was no surprise to Obama and his answer was clearly scripted. His forced stuttering didn't successfully make this look genuine.

    This is the very definition of propaganda and Obama's propaganda machine is fully operational.

  • @jfrogg76 You're an Idiot.....

  • @jfrogg76 Yeah that's it, because anybody or anything that supports or proves Obama right must be wrong huh? Yeah anybody that's rich and trully wants the gov to raise taxes on them MUST be a staged act huh? Any proof you find that supports left wing ideas you have to dismiss by saying its fake. Nooo of course only the republican way is right. Fuck off. Gays have rights, DreamAct is good, Women have control of their body, taxes must be raised, wars must be ended. Period deal w/ reality

  • @TonyFbaby87 Lol, so defensive! All I said was that the question was staged, which it clearly was, and that Obama's propaganda machine is up and running, which it clearly is. No need to get your panties all bunched up.

  • @jfrogg76 Oh i didn't know u had inside info on what went down. Did you help in the stageing? How do u know it was staged? Quit jumping conclusions and start using ur brain. Just because a ricj guy wants his taxes raised doesnt mean this is staged. Warren buffet has said the same thing. Quit being a conspirator sheesh!

  • @TonyFbaby87 LMAO. Is there any doubt in your mind that it was staged? The guy gives tens of thousands of dollars to the democrat party, you think he gets no special access in return? Obama and Google have been in bet together from go and by pure chance he just so happens to call on a former Google executive campaign contributer who just so happens to have a question that heavily pushes Obama's main reelection strategy....and you doubt for even a second that it was staged? SERIOUSLY?!? Gullible.

  • @jfrogg76 Warren buffet also claims the same, let me guess some how obama and buffet are also bed fellows. My boss also supports getting his taxes raised, guy makes 600,000 a year. Im sure my boss also met Obama in a secret meeting and Obama gave him secret instructions to spread Obamas agenda in the office right? Take it for what it's worth. Its a millionaire asking for his taxes raise- which I applaud. Unless you have hard proof, u really should stop assuming things.

  • @TonyFbaby87 LMAO!!! You doubt for a second that Warren Buffet gets special access?!? If your supposed boss gave tens of thousands of dollars to the democrats, he'd get his special access too. Buffet and Obama are buddies, Obama has been tossing his name around trying to raise taxes based on the lie that Buffet told about his secretary. BTW, if Buffet wanted his taxes raised so badly, how come his company owes more than a billion in back taxes over 10 years? Pay for Play is the Chicago way.

  • then government cant raise just his taxes, but a good thought, how a bought every one in the room for now.

  • As the questioner was asking to have his taxes increased did you notice obama's head was bobbing more than Barney Franks head on a get together with his male prostitute friend?

  • Taxation is extortion. You pay, or men with guns come and make you pay.

  • Outsourcers should definatly not get any credits, loopholes, or lawyered up benefits to pay less then the American amount.

    And if you take jobs out of this country don't cry when you get your products boycotted.

    The Rich complain alot for calling themselves patriots, and tea partiers.

    Their taxes under the Clinton tax rate would still be lower then Reagans rate.

  • I like the part where they seem to have tons of money but arent smart enough to click the button that says "Donate" to the fed. Seems they would know how to use google. Gifts to the United States

    U.S. Department of the Treasury

    Credit Accounting Branch

    3700 East-West Highway, Room 622D

    Hyattsville, MD 20782

    Go ahead we need more turtle bridges.

  • scarey talk from the community organizer in chief

    

  • @coachbobg LOL

  • what a dumbass. why not cut govt spending, cut the benefits of the professional politcians. that would help.

  • LOWER MY TAXES

    DECREASE YOUR WASTED SPENDING

    I deserve to KEEP what I've worked hard for.

  • That Obamao is a real creep. Look at him reaching out for a smoke with those skeletor like fingers. Someone should just hand him a Newp and let him get some relief

  • The Tea Party is the modern version of the Ku Klux Klan. They are Terrorist. As Terrorist TeaBaggers should be rounded up and put away at Getmo. Thank GOD the Republicans gave us the Patriot Act. Let's use it. This is not a difference of opinion. The TeaBaggers rely on "Faith Based" arguments while the Left rely on FACTS. TeaBaggers will not hesitate to prove their point with lies. Why strong language. This is WAR. TeaPublicans have done damage to the U.S middle class and must be stopped.

  • @STUBBORNOTTER -No one in the tea party collects welfare!

  • @Hughster49 What fools these TeaBaggers be. Most TeaBaggers are sick old over weight White men on Social Security and Medicare. Unemployment is high so many collect unemployment. TeaBaggers are hypocrites . Low life scum who milk the system for everything they can get yet don't contribute to society.

    They are parasites. In the next election the Rapepublicans are going to be thrown on the dung heap of history.

  • @STUBBORNOTTER -Typical liberal, spew crap and see what sticks. No one take any thing you say serious.

  • @Hughster49 81 percent of real Americans want the rich to contribute more. And I do write a check and it is made out to you. It is called welfare, and food stamps. You burger flipping meth smoking welfare queen.

    Yes I called you a queen. Sorry to have to tell you....when you have sex with another man...Dude you are gay. The fact that it happened in prison does not make it not gay..

  • @STUBBORNOTTER -You're a tough guy behind a computer in your mothers basement. Go pop your zits, loser!

  • @Hughster49 No I am the tough guy in YOUR MOTHERS mouth. I'm not exactly popping zits, nit wit

  • @STUBBORNOTTER -Your fathers cock is in your mouth? You sick bastard!

  • @STUBBORNOTTER Move out of your parents basement and you might see the light.

  • @gottchem3 Nothing is more pathetic than watching a poor guy sucking up to rich people with the hope that if they kiss enough ass some money will rub off on them. The rich only use you. They can't stand to be around you. That's why they live behind big walls and have guards that will shoot you if you try to visit your rich buddies.

    You must be a failed AMWAY salesman.

  • Another asshole like Buffet. Why don't you just take out your check book and write a check to the US Treasury if you feel so guilty. But you won't because you are a major phoney.

  • @gottchem3

    Buffet does take out his checkbook but it isn't enough. The problem is that your billionaire friends have turned the capitol into a whorehouse for thier own benefit. It was the superrich that got Bush to lower taxes BEFORE he lowered the spending. SO this national debt and deficit belongs to the rich.

    Get off your knees.

  • @gottchem3 From now on i call Warren Buffet...Warren BUTT-FIST... "oh make it hurt give it to me harder , raise my taxes.

  • TeaBagger: A person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience. People who cheer that Perry killed over 200 people and when he executed an innocent person used the power of the state to cover it up. People who shout " let him die" in regard to a sick person without insurance. People who boo active duty soldiers. They defend torture. Ignorant trailer trash who should be put away at Gitmo via the Patriot Act.

  • @STUBBORNOTTER Im curious...who was it that renewed the patriot act? Seems like there was a fellow who claimed he was going to shut down Guantanamo prison camp and end the wars overseas. No chance that this same person could, oh I dunno, triple the number of troops in Afghanistan, keep tens of thousands in Iraq, bomb Libya without congressional approval and allow the ATF to provide guns to drug cartels.

  • @gottchem3

    I was thinking the same thing. If the guy feels like he isn't paying enough taxes, the U.S. Treasury will gladly accept donations. There's even a web form for those who would like to make a donation toward paying down the national debt that can be found at Pay.gov. The form name is "Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt"

  • @gottchem3 Another asshole who takes the easy road in responding with nothing substantive. Buffet doesn't feel "guilty". He feels the current tax structure benefits the wealthy too much ,and the country should go back to rates similar to the 1990's, when america last had a balanced budget.

  • look at the diversity of the people here?.....hey, idiot, they were handpicked.

  • Hey! How many retarded TeaBaggers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

    None.

    Lower taxes and less government regulations would allow light bulbs to screw themselve in.

  • @STUBBORNOTTER LOLOLOL!!

  • @STUBBORNOTTER Why do you use such hateful language?

  • Listen MORON, you may....and this includes any other member of the MORON MILLIONAIRES CLUB, donate as much money as you care to THROW AWAY- to the federal government per your annual tax return. Do you realize how much fraud and waste the federal government has regardless of which party is in office?.....and your going to give them more?

  • @maxred222 exactly....the government is bad at choosing how to invest taxpayer money. Ummm Solyndra?

  • @bulmer13 So Enron, Worldcom, Bears Stern, Bank of America, Citibank are better? What a brain washed clown you are. The Government is bad at choosing how to invest when people who hate democracy and government are in charge of the government.. Republicans make bad investments. When Republicans are in charge, bridges fall down, we loose major landmarks like the World Trade Center, major cities like New Orleans get whipped out and tens of thousands of Americans die needlessly every year.

  • Obama himself said that there should never be taxes raised during a recession....until he was elected

  • Bullshit

  • What a schmuck!

  • It’s true that the top 1% of wage earners pay 38% of federal income taxes. But the trolls don't realize (or are conveniently ignoring) that income tax is less than 50% of federal taxes and only 20% of all taxes. Social Security, Medicare and unemployment insurance taxes are paid mostly by the bottom 90% of wage earners. That’s because, once you reach $106,800 of income, you pay no more for Social Security, though the much smaller Medicare tax applies to all wages.

  • @getplaning Thank you for your post.

    

  • @getplaning Last month I paid $800 in federal taxes, and $100 in social security tax. Explain that dipshit. I don't see you donating 30% of your income every month to the federal government, so why don't you shut the fuck up and stop telling people to give their money away and worry about your own asshole.

    Don't worry about social security, it won't be around when we retire if the democrats get that they want.

  • TeaBagger sociopaths don't give a second thought about telling a lie. Social Security is strong for the next 25 years and if you take off the caps will be good for the next 75 years. $800 in Federal taxes? Oh Boo Hoo. How much would you have had to pay to private security if there was no FBI? How much money would you have had to pay if you had to build your own roads and bridges to conduct business. You had to pay only $800 because I payed too, and every American paid to help your ass out.

  • @metalslugxBTB Actually social security is the most successful Government project ever. Social security up to 2010 had a 2.6 trillion dollar surplus. We where swimming in the money. Social security could have paid out all benefits for you and ur grandsons. That was until Mitch Mcconell and the Republicans stole that money. And that's a Fact. How can u still support Republicans. Are you blind?

  • That oppurtunist scumbag. What was the point of what he said? That "we all gotta help each other"? That doesn't mean shit. I wish someone would get elected because they knew something, and not because they're black or have fancy campaign ads.

  • @jbohler33 Racist Pig!

  • These phony staged events with their planted questioners make me want to PUKE! Do they think we're that stupid? Idiots.

  • Why doesn't this IDIOT just write a check to the government.

  • @Hughster49 This guy is rich, you're poor, He is smart, you're dumb, He is right you are wrong. He is a winner, you are a LOOOOOSER!

  • @STUBBORNOTTER And you are just an old babyboomer soon to start your dirt nap... So, just end it and quit boring the world

  • @lmacorp Your just another "Snow Flake Baby conceived in a test tube. Where is your birth certificate? OH you were not born you were hatched. Are you sure you can take time away from your meth lab to post on You Tube.

    BTW. How's your adoptive mom. Has she been able to walk straight again? Tell her I am sorry about that but she sure did seem to like it. If she asks nice I'll take her on a tour of Harlem again. They all know her there but I'm sure we could find 20 guys to do her again.

  • @STUBBORNOTTER C'mon, you old douchebag. You are way too old to be doing anything but planning to sell off your few possessions and giving the rest to your old douchebag lazy Commie friends. We don't want you old losers around anymore messing things up for the rest of us. You just use up too many resources and tax money and you never did anything for anyone else. All you old losers did was use dope. So, just take the hint, gramps, and die with dignity. Call Hemlock and make Obamao happy

  • @STUBBORNOTTER LOL....You are EXACTLY the imbicile that will insure that Obama will not be re elected. No facts, no worth, racism driven. Let me make it perfectly clear. No matter what party wins next year your issues and your worth will be simply discarded. Put the whiskey down for a second and retort coherently.

  • @STUBBORNOTTER Old racist fat Commie douchebags making the racist Harlem comment is typical of garbage like you from the Commiecrat party. Your a fast old racist fat fuck who needs to call Hemlock society and get eternal relief. We dont want to pay for gigantic fat fuck losers like you any longer. Bwah

  • @STUBBORNOTTER -You're the loser wanting the government to tax the rich and give you a handout.

  • @Hughster49 Dude I am one of the people with assets over $1,000,000 sure I will pay more in taxes because I am a REAL PATRIOTIC AMERICAN who is happy to pay more in taxes to return the United States back to it pre Reagan former glory. What have you ever done to help your fellow humans. Forget humans cause you are a racist. What have you done to help fellow White Americans. NOTHING! zzzzzzzzzzz.. I made my money by helping humanity. Teabaggers don't consider themselves as part of humanity.

  • @STUBBORNOTTER -Then write a check and quit your fucking crying, MORON!

  • Definitely a planted questioner

  • Nothing is preventing this numbnuts from cutting a check every week every month to the United States Treasury if he feels his taxes aren't high enough.

  • "We benefited from somebody, somewhere making an investment in us"

    ... and that "somebody, somewhere" has to be the government why, exactly?

  • @grantsinmypants2 Ask him, and he'll probably tell you a story about Michelle and the kids, and make you feel like we need to work on fixing things, without telling you what exactly, or how.

  • obama's in campaign mode so is now reverting to positions progressives like. can't wait for his re-election and he caves (i.e. actively works against) on tax cut repeal, health care reform, drawing down on bush terror policy, etc. please don't be fooled

  • I don't get why it matters that he is a Democratic donor or not. He is obviously there cause he's interested in Obama or a fan. And that wasn't the only question–or the first– asked... it was indeed the most publicized, but not the only one. You don't get to disqualify the statement just because he supports an Obama policy :S

  • please please please raise my taxes! riiiiiiiight. little secret: you're free to do what you wish with your money....just not mine. by the way, what the hell was going on for two years (2009 - 2010), when he and his fellow "just gotta have more taxes!" cronies ruled DC? oh thats right, spending the money that they now want to TAKE from others. give me liberty, indeed.

  • This asshole doesnt pay income tax! He's unemployed. He probably pays capital gains tax, which is a double tax, and uses the difference to donate to the commun... i mean Democratic party.

  • @12345678tube I gotta say, I don't get it. When middle-class people say 'tax the rich!' conservatives say 'That's class warfare, that's theft!' But when a rich guy says 'tax the rich, please' conservatives think that he didn't work hard for it. But hey, you're the one who wants to give him a tax cut. Not me, and not him.  Conservatives are the ones who want to give Obama and Douglas and Oprah a tax cut.

  • THERE'S A SPOT ON THE TAX FORM FOR GIVING MORE! HE CAN GIVE ALL HE WANTS! Just stay out of my damned pockets!

  • Comment removed

  • @pmesser1 I know you're trying super-hard to be snarky and sarcastic, but you know that czars, by definition, can't be Marxist or Communist or Maoist, right? Of course you don't, and that's the problem. You throw out huge accusations of people and say they're socialist or communist, but at the end of the day, you don't know what those words even mean. It's demeaning, it's dishonest, and it lowers the level of debate in this country.

  • @diriencl Really?? do you know any of Obama's cszars? Have you ever heard of Anita Dunn and Van Jones? Obama's mother was a marxist, his father was a marxist, his pedophile mentor Frank Marshall Davis was a marxist-- he goes to hateful Wright's church for 20 years. Do you know what black theology is? All you have to do is a search on any of the things I have written and you will be educated. I suggest you do a search on Obama's cszars, Bill Ayers, Obama's father, Rezco, etc. It is simple

  • This guy can contribute as much to the federal treasury as he wants. The government accepts cash or check. But just because he wants to contribute more does not mean I should have to.

  • The man is a planted questioner. He was former executive at Google who has donated over $300,000 to Democrats alone over this past year. Do your research. Don't drink the Kool-Aid. Or watch CNN

  • @sygma769 You are incorrect. He has given $11,250 dollars to Democrats and Democratic organizations in the past year, according to the FEC website, which is less than 4% of the number you gave. If you are going to try to villify a guy for standing up for what he believes in, get your facts straight first. You are either uninformed or you are trying to deceive.

  • @diriencl My statement was wrong about the time frame of his $300.000 donations to the Democratic party, it should have stated "his donations since Obummer took office". I'm glad to see you're decent at math unlike our President. Good for you! "Mr. President, raise my taxes." I'm vilifying him for being planted at this televised event to try and press the Presidents HORRIBLE agenda... Bet you voted for him didn't you? Sucker..

  • @sygma769 If you believe that this proposal of raising taxes on the top 1 or 2% back to Clintonian levels is horrible, that's fine. I'm not forcing you to agree with them. You should just know, however, that what he is doing is popular, and according to various polls from CBS, CNN, PPP, and ABC/Washington Post, anywhere from 65 to 80% of Americans agree that raising taxes on the rich is a good thing. You don't have to agree, but what the President is proposing isn't radical or unpopular.

  • @diriencl What he is proposing or not proposing is the full impact of his plan. The sheeple who do support it are misinformed of the outcome. Every single financial analyst that has looked over his plan states that it "will make a small dent in the economy in 2012 only to return to the same scenario that we are in now, if not worse when then the stimulus runs out". If you and his cronies want to pay more taxes, go right ahead. There is a spot on the FED Reserves website to which you can donate.

  • I will make an "investment" in whomever I decide is worthy of MY DAMN MONEY!

  • Does he know he is MORE THEN WELCOME to write a check of ANY amount to the government. If these people want to pay more GO AHEAD.....just don't do it from MY POCKET!!!

  • @gemofjules How do you know that the guy doesn't already donate a lot of money to the government? For all you know he writes checks daily.

  • Some people in the top brackets actually WORK for a living & work 60+ hour a week AND already pay about 50% in federal & state income taxes. NOT like this guy who is unemployed by choice & living off capital gains. Some of us actually do pay the 35% federal PLUS 10% state.

  • @MadKid567 Well, I would say that firstly, any tax raise proposal by the Obama administration would only go up to 40%, max. In other words, a 5% increase. Not even close to 50%.

    Also, if you work 60 hours a week, that is 8 hours of work every day of the week, or 12 hours from Monday through Friday. Do you actually work that, or is that hyperbole to make a point? I'm not trying to be combative, but I am genuinely curious.

  • @MadKid567 35% federal taxes is nothing, you are enjoying some of the lowest tax rates in the world.

  • are republicans for anything that benefit american people..? or only transnational corporation..?,, cause i have been listening to them for 30 years and they are just plain crazy

  • republicans are just plain crazy and stupid, they are also thieves and liars..
