President Obama - It's Not Class Warfare to Ask Millionaire to Pay Same Tax Rate as Secretary

[masterbg1]

Not everything he does is the best but he DEFINITELY has a point here and this is a step towards reducing the huge gap in inequality in America.

[SkillGrip]

This high king nigger monkey piece of ape nigger shit actually believes in his heart that paying 30% of your salary to fund a bunch of occupying degenerate pieces of scum worthless shit is fair. You faggot dick eating moron liberal Oboingo supporters dont realize that that translates to giving almost 1/3 of your adult life over to the government. THAT IS NOT FREEDOM! You fucking pieces of shit need to be killed for electing this nigger communist to office. You are all traitors to the republic.

[ENORT99]

@SkillGrip FUCK YOU! and what will the republicans do to fix this?? they wont tax the rich, they dont want to see their money go away. Obama isnt a communist if he's trying to do something to fix this shitty country by telling the rich to give up just a some money to help others.

[SkillGrip]

@ENORT99 Actually Obama is a communist, he was raised be communists, he worked for a communist organization, and as a President he legislates in ways that conform to the communist plan for America. This is all fact. Google "Our Marxist Wizard of Oz" its an eye opener. Aside from that I dont see how you can be so outraged that a rich man might only pay 29% of his income rather than 30% when over half this coutnry pays 0%. Is that fair? Answer that question with a yes or no, if you dare.

[ENORT99]

@SkillGrip Honestly, fuck government and money. We dont need either and all they both do is kill people for no good reason. Our lives shouldnt be ruled by a group of men and a piece of paper.

[SkillGrip]

$6 billion dollars, and change. Thats how much tax payer money Oboingo gave to millionaires and billionaires in 2011. And inside every single one of these deals there was LEGAL insider trading setup by the President and his staff to benefit other millionaires and billionaire inside the Democratic party. Its all documented, and its all legal. So much for your high nigger king lord god and his "rich people dont pay enough" bullshit.

[TheGuinnessboys]

backwards country.

[recalcitrist1]

A nation trying to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

(Props to Winston Churchill)

[EGarrett01]

Obama isn't talking about loopholes, he's talking about the capital gains tax and ignoring income tax rates. The wealthy pay crushing income tax percentages, far higher than "their secretaries."

[ERROLCUSTERFLYNN4EVR]

BAMA CAVED IN YET AGAIN ON THIS MILLIONAIRE TAX,,,HE'S A WEALH CLASS REPUBLICAN'S DREAM COME TRUE.......THERE IS ONLY ONE PARTY IN THE USA,,THE WEALTH CLASS PARTY SINCE 1776 CHUMPS,,,,we did not have a peoples revolution chumps...like the french,,THE REVOLUTIONARIES WERE PISSED OFF MONEY AND LANDED CLASS PEOPLE THAT CHUMPED THE POOR FOLK INTO FIGHTING FOR THEIR CAUSE......were all you stupid chumps sleeping in grade school HISTORY CLASS?

[HarryOrielly]

Obama is a slick smooth talking CON-MAN who is likable but a liar who has covered his criminal past history- His FORGED birth certificate is only a small part of his crimes- GOOGLE "LARRY SINCLAIR" he talks about Obama's past history when Obama sold him drugs etc- I believe LARRY because I know Obama a FRAUD- every part of his past has been deliberatly destroyed- he even surrendered his LAW license in order to avoid investigation- This is not the action of a truthful or even decent man-

[MarkParham]

@HarryOrielly mitt romney is a slick smooth talking con-man who worked at bain capital - mitt romney is also a liberal republican - i heard that jerry sandusky voted for mitt romney in 2008

[MetalDetroit]

@MarkParham Meanwhile....Former Democrat Senator Jon Corzine and former Goldmann Sachs CEO can't explain how he "misplaced" 1.2 BILLION Dollars after his resignation from MF Global.....The same Democrat Jon Corzine that Obama said was the "smartest man he knew"

[jamieblond1]

@MarkParham Oh yeah?....OH YEAH?.....well I heard that you're a vacuous, easily-led liberal loon :o)

[TheRoninshaman]

I don't think he goes far enough. The scale for taxes should increase as you become wealthier, bu this speach is just campaign mode all over again. Change we can believe in 2.0, and you'll by the same Lemon for four more years of driving deeper into the ditch he blamed on the last president. Their both puppets of more powerful masters. When are people going to WAKE UP!

[donsmithshow]

@TheRoninshaman The fact that you don't even understand that the scale increases significantly as you become wealthier tells me all I need to know. And you are asking people to wake up? Too funny.

[jaykerouac2]

@TheRoninshaman When are YOU going to wake up?

Btw.....go away and come back after you learn the English f 'ing language!

[pureaznman]

Good speech Obama!

[ramerican]

um... if a teacher paid 100 times the tax rate of a millionaire... the millionaire still pays double in actual dollars..

[LuckyLeftyLuciano]

Good speech!

[TheNaughtylist]

Most of you don't even work, So why complain? Some of you are under the age of 18, so why complain about the taxes that YOU don't pay?

[bluestreak711]

The other day he just said that taxing the rich more would hinder job creation. So the upper class shouldn't pay higher taxes.

[vartart99]

SLAVERY HAS NOT VANISHED IN USA YET.

This is the cornerstone of all evils in America, no matter what you do wealth ends up in the hands of 1% rich people who suck the blood of all others. Then how can people live well? Isn't this more brutal than mafia? Mafiosi at least pays 10k a month to his guys even if they don't work hard. here they just want all people to work their asses off and get all their money.

Support Obama in 2012.

[knowfuture22172]

Obama's wrong: it IS class warfare. And if you're worried about more taxes for rich people, you're on the wrong side. Unless you're a rich person yourself, which you probably aren't.

[trustinstinct]

Oh yeah and these poeple have been taught well how to blend into society and never speak about the family investments. It is creepy. Most of these billionaire kids are just lingering around college towns looking like hipppies while daddy slices up the world with evil cohorts. They all have front jobs that are some type of small business and laze about spending money. Alternatively they opt to go public and clone thier parents doing exactly what they do. Bizarre world . Tax em' big time !!!!!!!!

[trustinstinct]

Phenomenal , Obama does something logical that will help the country and people complain. You are missing the point because you are the one paying more taxes. This applies to you because such a small percentage escape taxes. I lived in this elite world. The upper tax level have boats, jets, many houses, many cars, and write of most of there travels on business expense accounts. This type of lifestyle is disgusting and glutonous. The rest of the country is exhausted and anxiety stricken. Balance

[NCMan28025]

Obama is the same Obama who said you don't raise taxes during a recession back in 2009. The flip-flopping socialist is using class warfare. Asking one group to pay more taxes, when they already pay 40% of all taxes, is class warfare. Obama wants to redistribute others wealth to buy votes.

[smgbby]

I'm happy there are successfully people out there who make million and billions. Im sure they worked very hard to earn that money. But I do agree that the richest should at least contribute to taxes. We all live in the same country, we all have a part in contributing as well.

[HerrKuhn928]

Fact of the matter is that the middle and upper class pay the vast majority of the taxes in this country. Why should someone who has worked hard and taken post tax money and given it to an organization to work with have to pay tax on that money at a later date if it happens to increase in value when they cash out? Don't you people realize that it is investors who allow companies to have working funds with which to run their business? In essence, investors are loaning their earned money

[RapIsDeadly]

You can tell who all the dumb fucks are...they're the ones that believe the Tea Party members are crazy and racist.

You idiot libs believe anything you're told. If you say it enough times then it must be true.

Just wait for the lib media to demonize the Republican presidential candidate. That's all the Dems know how to do...slander anyone who doesn't think like them.

[Balian49]

lol. Warren Buffett's secretary must be getting some serious cred around the office these last few weeks

[butuh13]

It's not Obama who's been off track, it's the public.

[creejay]

back on track...

[DiverseLA]

Wow! Obama is actually fighting back the Republican bullies! Congrats!

[knowfuture22172]

This is the Obama I voted for, a guy with balls who stands up to Repub bullies and crazy teabaggers. Wish we got to see more of this guy.

[NCMan28025]

@knowfuture22172 You're an ill-informed Obama fluffer. Even Democrats are against this. Read the bill and you will see that Obama is calling for cuts to Medicare & Medicaid. You're the reason we have this failure in office.

[knowfuture22172]

@NCMan28025 The cuts are there because Douchebagger politicians demanded them. You're the reason there was no choice BUT to vote for Obama, forced to choose between a failure and someone who succeeds at getting out and out bad laws passed.

[NCMan28025]

@knowfuture22172 Do you know what you're talking about. Obama's "American Jobs Act" is his bill. Republicans didn't help him write it. His "raised $1.5 trillion" by taxing the rich is his plan and the cuts are his. You're the reason we have this failure in office. You're ill-informed and know-nothing about the man you support. It's obvious by your lack of knowledge about Obama's bills.

[YosupMofo]

@knowfuture22172 He only needs the money to finish fighting Bush's wars, he's not done fighting wars yet dummy

[eastcoastandrew]

@knowfuture22172 You don't understand this at all, your views and the Presidents views show a clear misunderstanding of the tax system.

[SillyHatsOnly1123]

@eastcoastandrew And your answer shows that you clearly have no intention of explaining them, so why bother? I assume that you have a worse understanding of them. 

[Mikespyke]

@knowfuture22172 Hell Yeah!!!!!



[ajpape09]

Amen.

[ajpape09]

Amen.

[molloyxx1]

Obama is dead right and his facts irrefutable re those whose primary income comes from capital gains [ and pay 17 percent] vs Buffet's secretary, who pays 25 to 30 percent. How can any reasonable person think this is not a gross inequity? I doubt it wil pass but I know that come the heat of the 2012 campaign this will be used to bludgeon conservatives who unashamedly care more about the fortunes of the rich than the fortunes of the middle class and poor.
