Chris Wallace Plays Concern Troll for the Rich on Fox News Sunday

From Fox News Sunday March 15, 2009. I think the only interests Chris Wallace may have in mind during this line of questioning are his own as he hammers Austan Goolsbee about a line in the introduction of the President's budget.

As long as Wallace plays the good water carrier for the haves and have mores I'm sure his anchor chair is safe at Fox News.

'Warren Buffett's own statement - he pays on average 17-18% in taxes, while his secretary - making $60K - pays 30%.

Obama's proposed marginal rate increase is from 36% to 39% on income in excess of $250K. Someone w/ a taxable income of $300K would pay an additional $1500 - and that's got Republican's panties all up in a bunch, while the wingnuts are claiming those affected will simply stop producing.

I hope they do - there are thousands of us waiting to take up any slack they give us.

Goolsbee handed Wallace his ass on a platter, making all the pointsagainst conservative ideology in the last minute.

This is a vid to push in every conservatards mug.

Chris Wallace is a worm.

Rich continue to do the same things that made them rich and poor will continue to do the same things that make them poor. Goolsbee is so full of shit.

[bgvworldwide]

And you are a concern troll for the poor pitiful poor. Get a life douchebag.

So you have been waiting to be successful because there are too many "rich people" in your way?

[il128]

repubs want taxes to come from the credit cards of the poor. A sad fact.

gamoonbat: Very true, the rich can afford to hire the tax attorneys, CPAs and other advisers to find ways to avoid paying taxes but I think the main point is to give relief to the average working family, not really to look for money from the rich.

After having seen how Obama managed to win the Democratic primaries and went on to beat McCain, I will not be surprised if he gets us out of the current economic mess and turns out to be the liberal version of Reagan. Indeed: This skinny guy with a funny name is up to (almost) everything. But I might be wrong...

Maybe. But the Bush taxcut was obscene. Getting rid of it should bring in some cash so Obama can pay for universal health care.

And that is about that. Obama isn't really raising taxes, he is just not extending Bush's tax cuts. And they make it sound like men-in-black and Spanish Inquisitors will go to each rich person and make them give up all their cash (and at least one liver each) to the government.

When Kennedy was Prez he cut taxes across the board but got rid of much of the loopholes and allowances for the Rich... so they ended up paying more even though their Tax Ceiling was higher.

Was Wallace always this much of a partisan shilling hack?
