Really 3.7 trillion is more than the entire Federal budget for this year. You're entitled to your opinion but not your own facts.

You Sir have zero understanding of economics in the real world. The very nature of our economics mean there will always be a percentage of the population living below the poverty line that require help.

yes, lets give more money to the Federal Government so that they can piss it all away.......wow yes, what a grand concept.

You wouldn't be arguing for the Buffett Rule if you didn't want to spend more money on your degenerative socialist programs. The problem is not that we need to find more tax money, it's that you want to spend more money you don't have; money that isn't yours.

Obama asking Congress to pass the Buffet Rule is like Joe Paterno calling for an end to child rape. Obama is the biggest fucking Wall Street whore. That's why they gave him the job of President.
