Republicans keep asking this rhetorical question of how much millionaires and billionaires should pay in taxes (% wise). Look at history...1940s (post-Great Depression) to 1980s (before Reagan's massive tax cuts) the tax rate on the top incomes were between 70%-90%. That's the rate we need to go back to.
“You shall not charge interest to your countrymen: interest on money, food, or anything that may be loaned at interest so that the LORD your God may bless you in all that you undertake in the land which you are about to enter to possess." Deuteronomy 23:19
man tax the wealthy he said millionaires not white people who think they got money because they go to target or live in good communities ( not racist ).
The only group of wealthy people that should NOT pay taxes are those that own businesses and corporations so they could create jobs. But I think any wealthy person that works for someone else should be forced into paying additional taxes. The ultra-right wing has a huge fit when the wealth of the rich is redistributed. But they don't have a problem when the wealth of low- and middle-income Americans is redistributed. I hope the Occupy Wall Street protests become viral as the Tea Party movement.
@IcedCoffee81 i slightly disagree...if you own a business, you should still get taxed a lot if your income goes over a certain amount, but I believe that corporate taxes should be WAY LOWER, like say 10%, so people have incentive to keep money invested in corporations. Also a lower corporate tax rate and a higher personal income tax rate almost guarantees that the CEOs of these companies will not have the incentive to loot their companies for personal gain.
America & Europe is closed for Business, that's what Obama is not telling you, and the rest of America is an economy based on a closing down sale. Who is going to buy homes they'll never own. The ones who have is in forclosure, who is going enploy Americans pay they $15.00 per hour when they can do the same business, in China and pay $3.00 per hour. You built your country by slavery, and now you know what it is to use slave labour, what goes around comes around. It SLAVE labour creates Poverty.
@Pucker7: I am sure the Arabs want their homes raided by American soldiers, and shot. 40 homes per night in Afghanistan, & people killed, ones in Pakistan blown Drone attackskilling civilians. I am sure these people welcome being killed by Americans. Taxes makes Banks more stable, that why they're closing down all across America, and Bank of America is laying off 30'000 people because of fraulent loans. Its not going to work, and the rich is not going to pay any more tax, Move to CHINA.

@sarahlajolietigresse Clinton is another garbidge. After Cold War ended, Eastern Europeans, especially Russians thought US would cooperate, but instead they got disappointed after Clinton helped Muslim Albanians in Kosovo for independence from Serbia. Check it out: thebrooklynconnection[dot]net
@alecniles Obama raising the income tax saying it will raise revenues shows how ignorant Obama is about "rich people" (not all people remain rich their whole life)but Obama does not even pay attention to his own partner in crime, Warren Buffett. Buffett makes $100,000 a year salary,so his tax rate would not be impacted by an income tax hike.Furthermore, Buffett makes most of his money through capital gains & dividends, taxed at 15-20%.Buffett knows this, & his own company owes back taxes!NOBAMA!
@BlackRepublican2010 Tthe plan is to raise capital gains tax. Secondly, Buffet's salary is actually $1. All Buffet's income comes from capital gains. History has revealed, if the rich do not pay by increased taxes, the middle class burden will decrease demand for the goods and services. Therefore, his capital gains will significantly decline as a result of a decline in sales growth. Because ultimately capital gains is dependant on sales growth. So, get your facts straight.
@alecniles Clearly you are a republican because you are a self serving sellout who is only hurting yourself and family for the purpose of greed. In the end, it will be you who be poor. Todays republicans use minorities to get rich, not help them to get rich.
Thumbs up for NWO and people voting for fascism without even being aware of it! And thumbs up for the people that will reply with gross misconduct and irrational anger!
Who is going to hang around for Obama to Tax them, to used their money to shoot Arabs and Pakistanis, and drop Depleted Uranium all over the place, which millionair is going to allow Obama to waste their money. Obama better know one thing, Money Talks and B/S walks.
@maria610421 It really does help to know what you are talking about before you open your fat fucking garbage spewing mouth. Taxes are also used to make banks more stable which are used to make loans for new companies which are used to create jobs. Also, a soldier is a job to, so giving people opportunities to live, you being the arrogant piece of shit you are think that all tax money is funded into shooting arabs is a bad idea to you? You do know that Nato is fight for arabs you stupid fuck.
@Pucker7: You people like to live in a Dream world, the Government Just Bailed out AIG, Freddie & Fanny, where is the Jobs, that was Tax payers money too. Companies moving to China for cheap labour and increased profits, and sell goods at a high mark up, so who is going to pay your Health Care Insurance, which company is going to Insure a bounc of the unhealthiest people on earth. People go into business to make a profit, not to subsidise Obese unhealthy people, no one has any money to waste.
Maria, Pakistanis and many Arab countris have been helped by the US for many years. What they have done for America? Not much. As the matter of fact, the Clinton Administration helped Muslim Albanians in Kosovo. Check it out: thebrooklynconnection[dot]net while 3 Kosovo brothers wanted to bomb military base Fort Dix, NJ.
@pgthinker007 Yeah. If you think of sending unmanned drones to drop bombs on civilians because you think they look suspicious standing around in front of their own homes or celebrating a wedding killing children along with their parents as "helping" then I guess we've been princes. I suppose you agree with the self righteous politicians who believe they should PAY US BACK for the cost of the bombs too.
Obama Millionairs Tax is a Good idea, what's this another JOKE, how can they Tax the Millionairs all they have to do is move from America, the only people who is trapped in America is those who don't have the money to move. All the Millionairs are mostly Alledged Israelis, who has stiched up the American people, they are the Banksters, they own all the companies and corporations, and they are buying up European companies, buying up, Greek companies, and the People are mear Peasants, own ZERO.
Our president has an incredably narrow minded Captain Ahab like obsession with the rich..and raising taxes on the wealthy ISN'T THE SOLUTION. eVEN JFK SAID, EVERY DOLLAR RELEASED FROM TAXATION HELPS CREATE A NEW JOB AND A NEW SALARY AND THESE NEW JOBS AND NEW SALARIES HELP CREATE OTHER NEW JOBS AND NEW SALARIES TO HELP CREATE A GROWING ECONOMIC RECOVERY...I can wAIT 13 MONTHS FOR A NEW PRESIDENT WHO DOESN'T SUPPORT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.
The only way to completely fix this whole mess is to elect Sarah Palin in 2012! Palin will be our greatest president and she will drive unemployment down back to ZERO!
dont forget , while we are clearing the debt that you mention Mr Clinton, that there is a huge derivatives bubble valued around 10 X the GDP of the planet, waiting to burst. i think that is gonna be a fun one :)
A free market would require a even tax rate for all. If you make a million dollars you pay 5%. If you make one dollar you pay 5%. There is no favor and it is 100% equal. THATs American. This tax break for those that have more is about as Anti-American as it gets. The parties are both corrupted and bought off. Want to fix the economy? Start taxing and trade tariffs on Chinese imports to pay off the debt and protect the American worker that does not work for Chinese slave labor pay.
