Hey Obama you ahole, after you LOSE the election, why don't you take your fugly family and GTFO of this country and go live with your half brother in a hut in Kenya where you belong!
@TheBingsTV So you're saying that a small group of rich people are going to do more for the economy than a large middle class? Even with these tax increases they'd still have more than enough money to buy what ever they wanted, including their Yacht fleet. Also don't some taxes go to paying teachers and other government jobs, and don't those people go and buy things to stimulate the economy?
Today the stupid shit colored asshole said 80% of voters want higher taxes, everyday this fucking idiot gets more bizarre, the queers in the media can't keep it contained anymore, this dunce is going completely crazy right in front of the entire world, if he keeps it up they'll have to dart him with a tranquilizer, I doubt he'll go willingly.
@Baileygeep7 I love your comment!! You made me laugh even though what you are saying though true, really shouldn't be a laughing matter. You are so right and you have an amusing way of saying it!
@DeepSouth16 Ask any economist and they'll tell you that Clinton created more jobs than Bush. It isn't propaganda just because you don't like it. A fact is a fact, it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not. What do you think caused the Great Depression? It was lack of government regulation. What fixed it? Government regulation. It's the same thing that happened with this last financial crisis. I never pulled propaganda out, I use facts, something you never even tried.
@MrJakeChannel "Ask any economist' Well I have, and they tell me it wasn't government regulation or lack thereof. The Great Depression was part of a natural cycle in the economy where natural inflation needs to be 'popped' and the new market floor should be found. Thanks to regulation and taxation it took us 10 years to climb out of the hole. That's why it was a "Great" Depression; it lasted a decade. Thanks to WW2 bombing every other developed nation into the pre-industrial area...
@Teikiatsu ... , government regulations in America being *relaxed* so that our industrial complex could mass-produce for the military, and (as morbid as this sounds) a good chunk of our unemployed men were killed off in battles across the planet, America found itself poised to start manufacturing goods and provide services for the rest of the world until everyone else could rebuild. *THAT* my friend is what got us out of the Great Depression.
@Teikiatsu The Great Depression was caused by banks gambling money on the stock market. Someone would put money in, and the banks would use that money to buy stocks and for a while stock prices went up and everyone was happy. Then the stock prices went down and the bank found it's self in the position where it couldn't give people their money because they lost it on the stock market. That's why people couldn't spend money to stimulate the economy and businesses couldn't pay employees. That'
@DeepSouth16 When a corporation makes more money, they just give out more bonuses, and they don't create jobs. They made less money under Clinton who regulated them and he created more jobs than George Bush who did the opposite of that. Why don't you get that? I don't have a problem with someone making money responsibly, but when it results in a worse life for everyone else I do have a problem. Why do you defend these people, who have shown time and time again they don't care about you?
Raise fucking taxes on the rich. The right-wing is divided into two parts: The 1% who is the upper elite and uses the pawns to make them RICHER, and the 99% who are ignorant inbred religious wingnuts who gladly live their last dollar to make corporations richer
Yea we hear ya Barry. That's why WE the PEOPLE DON'T want 4 more years of what you want to give us. Obama's POLICIES are a HUGE FAILURE. Why would anyone say "HEY GIVE ME 4 MORES YEARS OF THAT"
I'm afraid the Repubberys will cave and only cut like 100B from this year's budget if that, but more probably the phantom "2 trillion", "4 trillion", "over 10 years" will all be backloaded to years down the road, and they won't cut shi'ite now.
Force your congressman to cut hundreds of billions now. The Repubs should block any raising of the debt ceiling without a permanent Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution.
If we have to get rid of a few loopholes in exchange, fine.
The thing that irritates me is that the rich are singled out because they are successful. If a rich man is expected to not complain when $200,000 out of every million goes to taxes, then a poor man shouldn't complain when 20 cents out of every dollar goes to taxes.
Sooner or later taxes for everyone need to be raised. If the poor are getting so much support from government programs, are they really going to notice an extra $5 a paycheck going into the system? If they don't have a job, it wouldn't effect them at all. You gotta pay to play in this type of society. Everything can't be free for everyone.
With all these government programs handing out billions in aide to the poor, taxes need to be higher for everyone. Look at Canada as an example. Sure, they have healthcare and programs for everyone that needs it. But everyone pays to make that so, not just the rich. If you only target the rich, which make up 2-3% of the population, it doesn't help anything.
The only other choice is to get rid of the excessive amount of government programs. It's all a catch-22.
Here's GOP rapid response to put the spin on for ya...
The taxes Obama are talking about raising are the ones he should have raised a long time ago instead of choosing to extend the Bush era tax cuts. When you have so many greedy hands reaching for it, the money is gone by the time it "trickles down" to the middle class republicans...
@DeepSouth16 Corporations are doing better than ever! They're giving themselves record bonuses, flying around in private jets. Explain that. If Obama is hurting business so much, then why do the rich keep getting richer and poor keep getting poorer?
Only 12% of Obongos cabinet has worked in the private sector. These people are communists. They don't want a private sector they want everything under complete government control taxing the working man out of 75 to 80% of his pay.
You have 2 choices: 1) you raise taxes on the top earners, and inject that money back in to programs which empower the poorest, or 2) you lower taxes on the top earners, and trust them to "trickle" that money down to the poorest.
When we've tried the first, we moved out of a Depression and the country prospered. When we've tried the second, we've seen that not only does the wealth not "trickle" it gets moved out of the country. It really is as simple as that...
Reagan raised taxes more than 8 times and the economy boomed. Clinton raised taxes and the economy boomed. Bush lowered taxes and the economy tanked. WE NEED TO PUT TERM LIMITATIONS ON THESE BASTARDS IN CONGRESS SO THEY CAN NO LONGER MAKE A CAREER OUT OF DOING NOTHING FOR FEAR OF LOSING THE NEXT ELECTION INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY.
Unless taxes are raised across the board - poor, middle, upper classes - it won't work. Raising taxes on the rich only will not do anything noticeable. The rich are already paying 30% tax. Maybe it's time everyone else contributes a little bit.
by doing just a couple things the the debt problem could be brought down and no new taxes would have to be levied against the poor and middle class. first and most important is for everyone in office now to be voted out and all new people to be voted in.
dear gop - why have the tax cuts of 2001 & 2003 by bush the younger not worked yet? now we are in deep debt and taxes should be raised - use your brains and the pocketbooks of the rich
We are in a race to the bottom folks. Open your eyes. See the issues: The Dems want to HELP everyone The Reps want to HELP only those who HELP THEM. The middle is where we need to be. Fair. Tell the Dems they have to cut back on a few of their programs. Tell the Reps their rich and super rich buddies might have to pay a few points more in taxes. End the Wars This isn't hard. And I’m sorry, until we as a Country are educated enough, we still need ditch diggers.
@DeepSouth16 It isn't attacking, it's asking them to pay three percent more taxes. Do you know how little that is to someone who is making hundreds and millions of dollars?
Need to cut the spending? How about ending the perpetual wars that only benefit corporate America. How about bringing the troops home from Korea, Germany, Japan, Italy, etc. Those wars have been over for 60 years +/-. How about shutting down 900 military bases in 130 countries. Start spending money here at home rather than blowing it like drunken sailors overseas.
He will just give Waivers to his buddys anyways. so whats the point. the ponzi scheme is failing and they are grasping at straws trying to find a scapegoat.
giving money to the junkie (government) for anything is not the answer. the junkie uses it for it's fix-bigger government. they have drained social security,American Indian trust funds and everything else to fund wars and expand it's own powers. the only thing "growing" is the junkie. the executive branch has increased it's budget and employment by 15%.
why are cabinet memebers and many in congress tax cheats?
Raise taxes for the rich suckers and get it over with. Let them help get the economy back under control. You know who I mean, the "job creators" that create no jobs.
What creates jobs is innovation. What creates innovation is necessity. What kills necessity is a nanny state that punishes the rich. You want fair? Tax everyone 15% of their income whether it be through payroll or the stock market. That will more than cover what the government should give.
@lambdaofbacon It always amazes me how poor white folk have been brainwashed to fight for rich corporations and banks. They take all our money, give nothing back and kick the poor while they are down and there you are, holding the door while they exit out the back door. They do not have to say a word because you are there fighting to make the rich richer while poor souls like you get poorer. Joe only makes $1000 and you want to take 15% of that and call it fair.
Well you would rather take half a man's money that he earned.
The difference between us is I believe everyone is equal. You are just carrying on the tradition of finding a scapegoat who you can blame all the world's problems on. If this were 150 years ago, you would be blaming the blacks for all of the governments problems. Race, religion, riches. It doesn't matter to you which one it is. You just want to be the oppressor.
@lambdaofbacon What a kook. I see you like to make stuff up, that means you must be a cult member of libertatian gurus or conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones. I suspect it is probably both. Funny how you say everyone is equal but yet you as a poor soul support those rich corporations that have you hoodwinked. Poor delusional fool.
@MrJakeChannel The sad fact is if you took every penny that billionaires have it would barely cover the $1.2 trillion budget deficit for 2011. Then what would you do next year? And how many jobs would be lost with no investors?
@quizerry It wouldn't solve the problem, but it would help. Go look at America under Bill Clinton, who rose taxes on the rich, and George Bush, who lowered them. Compare the Jobs created and the deficit under each. Clinton had more jobs and was actually on the way to repaying debt, Bush on the other hand had less job growth, and he started this big deficit we have now.
The funny thing is they just extended the Bush tax cuts and unemployment still stayed at 9%. This "jobcreaters" talk is all lies. Thinking that the money business saves from tax cuts is a motivation to hire is nonsense. Its a motivation to invest it or put it in a hedgefund. All tax cuts should be tied with a pledge from corporations that you actually will creat jobs once you get it and not just by a bigger private jet.
Ugh...why is it so bad to raise taxes, people need to get out of this 'high taxes are bad' mantra...it's pretty childish. If corporations are making high end profits like never before hell they need to pay more in taxes.
@mranthonymcneil85 Except Corporate America use tax avoidance (it is legal) by depositing their profits into the Cayman Islands and London which are known as tax havens. If you want the truth, try reading a book with independent research. Example: "Treasure Islands: Tax Havens and the Men who Stole the World" Tax avoidance has been happening in Europe for decades due to their ridiculous taxes. Reality check.
Wow! I can't believe he said that. He's basically admitting to everyone that he is going to play the political game and only raise taxes after the election cycle so that he wins votes. At least I believe him when he says that though.
Taxes for corporations need to be raised. Not only do they need to be raised, this has to happend asap. Also unnecesary imports should be put on a stall till the economy grows healthy again. More corporate taxes = more money to invest in the poor. Less poor people = More demand. More demand = more Jobs. More jobs = even less poor people. and this will Generate more income from regular people, and wouldnt hurt corporations since their demand will grow. A strong middle class is what the US needs.
@elgorre I keep hearing this "strong middle class" from liberal Democrats. They don't mean it. Right here where I live thousands of family wage jobs are being held up because the Democrats are against progress and continue to put up road blocks for this massive project at every turn!!!! Then they have the nerve to call themselves "progressive" nope it is definetely "regressive"
@toneo2001 Obama's failed spending policies are crushing the middle class. All the spending has cause the dollar to devalue causing higher inflation,higher gas prices, higher HC cost, lower home values and stagnate wages.
This is why I voted for him in the first place... I figured he sounded like he'd have the balls to do this, and I think it's a GREAT idea. We can't afford to just cut, cut, cut... We need income too. Personally, I wish there could be a flat tax for everyone to pay the same percent. Period.
Are you kidding me? Taxes are lower than they have been in 60 years. They are even lower than when Bush or Reagan were in office. All of you need to stop watching fox news and do some research.
He does not want to raise taxes on the middle class or the poor. He wants to raise Taxes on millionaires and billionaires. So, how does that affect anyone looking at this video? What it does do is create jobs.
"Normally, you don’t raise taxes in a recession, which is why we haven’t and why we’ve instead cut taxes. ...You don’t raise taxes in a recession." --President Obama to NBC's Chuck Dodd, Aug. 2009
When he's finally out of re-election mode, you will see the true Obama. Quite scary given the dictatorial powers that congress has given the executive branch.
Fucking little Doodle Boy can't keep his lying Soros story straight from day to day. The American people have a choice, either throw this lying piece of shit out of office now, or first break his legs, turn him into something useful, like fertilizer for the corn crop, and THEN throw hiim out of office, HARD, and with EXTREME PREJUDICE. IMPEACH.TRAITOR.OBAMA.
Obama and the Dems went on a spending spree for the last three years and now find themselves in a deep hole.No House republicans voted for the spending while Pelosi and the liberals went crazy like drunken sailors.The Republican should do nothing and let Obama swing in the breeze and figuire out what cuts to make because America's credit has been maxed out.I say,do nothing and do not trust Obama with one more penny.
"nobody's looking to increase taxes right now"?????
In the last week he's talked about raising taxes on private jet owners (who got the tax break obama is criticizing in his stimulus bill. Doesn't he read what he signs?), oil companies, best selling authors, "the rich", and the general public - who was his "shared sacrifice" comment referring to?
The problem is, so many blacks are more concern with his skin color that they figure that only "whitely" will be taxed. That said, once they realize that he is raising their taxes, you can rest assure we will start hearing comments like Obama's white is showing or Uncle Tom is in the White House.
Got news for ya...There are tax hikes on home-owners buried in the BooBoo health bill.....gotta love all his transparency...btw , he said it was a lack of leadership and irresponsible to raise the debt ceiling and taxes when he voted against a Bush era ceiling hike. Let someone tell me why the same doesn't apply now? And don't even try blaming Bush...two years in..HE OWNS THIS DESTRUCTION,LOCK,STOCK AND BARREL.
Isn't it amazing the republicans can't lay a glove on this skinny nigger with all he gives them, the nigger has run up spending a whopping 30% since he got in there, the debt is now over 100% of GDP, taxes collected by federal state and local now on average is over 40% of everyone's income, and all boehner could do last time was a mythical 800 billion cut that ended up being a few million, a five year old could beat this nigger on any issue, but not the fucking republicans.
Ah yes... and all of the idiots that still for some reason like this guy are drooling at the prospect.... ugh... he better not get reelected.... or you can kiss the USA goodbye.
O-Dooma told us in 2007 what he was going to do ... "fundamentally change the United States of America" ... "your electric will be dramatically go up" etc.... if this country elects him again, we are all STUPID.
That should be his campaign slogan, elect me and I will raise your taxes! He should also promise to continue to support fed agencies efforts to regulate businesses out of this country or out of business, THAT will go over well with his Commie/Socialist supporters!
wow he just straight up lies. The only reason they wont raise taxes now is because the Republicans wont let them. Obama expects to win next year, and with him he expects Democrats to retake both houses. THEN they can raise taxes on EVERYONE! At least everyone who pays any...
@Astrochronic I don't mind paying more taxes, as long as my job doesn't get outsourced. I know that my CEO and his company make a lot more money than most people, but I don't see him hiring people any time soon.
That should be his campaign slogan, elect me and I will raise your taxes! He should also promise to continue to support fed agencies efforts to regulate businesses out of this country or out of business, THAT will go over well with his Commy/Socialis supporters!
the funny thing is people actually support him for this.

Raise taxes for the rich suckers and get it over with. Let them help get the economy back under control. You know who I mean, the "job creators" that create no jobs.

Yes! Punish those who have shiny things!
What creates jobs is innovation. What creates innovation is necessity. What kills necessity is a nanny state that punishes the rich. You want fair? Tax everyone 15% of their income whether it be through payroll or the stock market. That will more than cover what the government should give.

@lambdaofbacon It always amazes me how poor white folk have been brainwashed to fight for rich corporations and banks. They take all our money, give nothing back and kick the poor while they are down and there you are, holding the door while they exit out the back door. They do not have to say a word because you are there fighting to make the rich richer while poor souls like you get poorer. Joe only makes $1000 and you want to take 15% of that and call it fair.

Well you would rather take half a man's money that he earned.
The difference between us is I believe everyone is equal. You are just carrying on the tradition of finding a scapegoat who you can blame all the world's problems on. If this were 150 years ago, you would be blaming the blacks for all of the governments problems. Race, religion, riches. It doesn't matter to you which one it is. You just want to be the oppressor.

@lambdaofbacon What a kook. I see you like to make stuff up, that means you must be a cult member of libertatian gurus or conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones. I suspect it is probably both. Funny how you say everyone is equal but yet you as a poor soul support those rich corporations that have you hoodwinked. Poor delusional fool.

@MrJakeChannel The sad fact is if you took every penny that billionaires have it would barely cover the $1.2 trillion budget deficit for 2011. Then what would you do next year? And how many jobs would be lost with no investors?
quizerry 7 months ago
@quizerry It wouldn't solve the problem, but it would help. Go look at America under Bill Clinton, who rose taxes on the rich, and George Bush, who lowered them. Compare the Jobs created and the deficit under each. Clinton had more jobs and was actually on the way to repaying debt, Bush on the other hand had less job growth, and he started this big deficit we have now.
MrJakeChannel 7 months ago
The funny thing is they just extended the Bush tax cuts and unemployment still stayed at 9%. This "jobcreaters" talk is all lies. Thinking that the money business saves from tax cuts is a motivation to hire is nonsense. Its a motivation to invest it or put it in a hedgefund. All tax cuts should be tied with a pledge from corporations that you actually will creat jobs once you get it and not just by a bigger private jet.

@mranthonymcneil85 Except Corporate America use tax avoidance (it is legal) by depositing their profits into the Cayman Islands and London which are known as tax havens. If you want the truth, try reading a book with independent research. Example: "Treasure Islands: Tax Havens and the Men who Stole the World" Tax avoidance has been happening in Europe for decades due to their ridiculous taxes. Reality check.

Taxes for corporations need to be raised. Not only do they need to be raised, this has to happend asap. Also unnecesary imports should be put on a stall till the economy grows healthy again. More corporate taxes = more money to invest in the poor. Less poor people = More demand. More demand = more Jobs. More jobs = even less poor people. and this will Generate more income from regular people, and wouldnt hurt corporations since their demand will grow. A strong middle class is what the US needs.

@elgorre I keep hearing this "strong middle class" from liberal Democrats. They don't mean it. Right here where I live thousands of family wage jobs are being held up because the Democrats are against progress and continue to put up road blocks for this massive project at every turn!!!! Then they have the nerve to call themselves "progressive" nope it is definetely "regressive"

This is why I voted for him in the first place... I figured he sounded like he'd have the balls to do this, and I think it's a GREAT idea. We can't afford to just cut, cut, cut... We need income too. Personally, I wish there could be a flat tax for everyone to pay the same percent. Period.

Are you kidding me? Taxes are lower than they have been in 60 years. They are even lower than when Bush or Reagan were in office. All of you need to stop watching fox news and do some research.
He does not want to raise taxes on the middle class or the poor. He wants to raise Taxes on millionaires and billionaires. So, how does that affect anyone looking at this video? What it does do is create jobs.

The problem is, so many blacks are more concern with his skin color that they figure that only "whitely" will be taxed. That said, once they realize that he is raising their taxes, you can rest assure we will start hearing comments like Obama's white is showing or Uncle Tom is in the White House.

Isn't it amazing the republicans can't lay a glove on this skinny nigger with all he gives them, the nigger has run up spending a whopping 30% since he got in there, the debt is now over 100% of GDP, taxes collected by federal state and local now on average is over 40% of everyone's income, and all boehner could do last time was a mythical 800 billion cut that ended up being a few million, a five year old could beat this nigger on any issue, but not the fucking republicans.
