  • How is what Barney is advocating not theft? Rich people have money so he's just going to take it. How very thug like.

  • 2008: Deficit fear take a second seat

    2011: Risk of government shutdown because of the debt ceiling.

    Good job Barney... now go back to your kid's show. I'm just being Frank with you.

  • @doczuess Poor people don't have any money and your government wants to take more of it. Perspective is nice.

    America is a disgusting nation. As a Brit I thoroughly regret my ancestors giving birth to you.

  • RICH PEOPLE ARE NOT FORCED TO PAY JUSTIFIABLY HIGHER TAX BECAUSE THEY KILL! THEY PERSONALLY INTIMIDATE WHOEVER IS PUSHING THEM TO BE FAIR WITH THREATS OF HARM-SPECIFICALLY MURDER!!!

  • Let's start by taxing this multimillionaire jerk.

  • @doczuess Let me see IRS data, Bloomberg News, Ben Stein, I could go on. And Clinton raised taxes, Reagan, after 1983 raised taxes, the rich did not leave and since there are entrenched and very wealthy and successful elites elsewhere, they would find it more difficult to be rich elsewhere, instead of simply paying higher taxes here, so weak bluff

  • @Meade556 How could you possibly know what people paid in 1955? Politicians use statistics like drunks use lamp posts, for support rather than illumination.. Go ahead tax the rich on income they already paid taxes on and legally earned.. Watch them vote with their feet till there are no more rich and Then who are you going to steal from? Thug

  • @cdoftx Most of the rich are the first two since consider that "small business activity" includes finders fees, legal services, accounting services even if it is one large firm paying another

  • @doczuess Well the rich pay less into the Treasury now as a percentage of their incomes than they did it 1955, saying "let's increase their taxes" is not thuggery especially when they pay 23% now and 55% then.

  • There's 3 ways you can get rich:

    1: lucking out in life (playing basketball, winning the lotto, or having rich parents)

    2: bring others down (lawyers and stock market gamblers)

    3: bringing others up (making businesses and new products)

    Tax the first 2 all you want, but if you tax the 3rd you're shooting yourself in the foot.

  • hang that fagget in publik along with pelosi

  • What the hell was Massachusetts thinking putting Elmer Fudd's homosexual cousin in office.
