Absolutely ignorant. First of all, they're talking about capital gains taxes. Even billionaire Warren Buffet has acknowledged the absurdly low tax rates. He pays less percentage than his secretary.
Second, are you really going to start comparing Obama's wealth with McCain's. He and Cindy (remember it's a prenup and doesn't mean they don't share gains on investments) are estimated to be worth between $25-38 MILLION by the Washington Post.
Since the millionaires wrecked our economy, they should get a tax hike and start paying their share. Of course, we all know that lurkersteve is a big millionaire and he doesn't want to pay taxes! Either that, or he's pretty dumb.
Millionaires like Barack Obama, who bought a $1.6M home, and earned almost a million dollars in 2006 and over a million in 2005?
There are a lot of millionaire Democrat politicians - John Edwards (~$30M), John Kerry (billionaire), Al Gore ($100M), John Corzine ($300M)... the list goes on and on. That doesn't include billionaire supporters of the party like George Soros or Warren Buffett.
Biden says the poor are not patriotic!
