@plk11

God forbid someone making 55k a year pay a little extra in taxes while foreclosures and unemployment are at record highs, all as a result of failed policy that person represents I might add!

@racetowingh Yet, im sure he is loading trucks of frozen food all day.....

He does not work hard, he works SMART.. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

Look the Markets are not much different than being a successful music artist. There is lot of ppl with the talent & "know how" but they all arent dealt the same cards. Wealthy business owner arent the only hard workers, & they are the only ones that are capable of running a successful business.....

This is why Republicans SUCK!!!

Jon Fleming is gonna say it takes he can live off $400k...........What kinda shit it that?????? (pardon my french)

[AcidUnleashed]

@racetowingh Hard work my ass I work over time and I get taxed more than his rich ass apparently you have not worked your ass off at a job and pull in over time to make ends meet. If I am getting taxed trying to make ends meet he should be taxed fairly due to excess amount of wealth he has.

[racetowingh]

Quit whining... Its almost like your mad people are successful. Its not like he just happen to magically to get where he is now. Its called HARD WORK.

[TheMrTTT]

You need to listen to what he said. The $400k is to reinvest in his business and to create jobs. You are hell bent on destroying this country. Success should be a crime..that is clearly your position you are completely out of touch with reality.

@DSuper3 Corporate taxes are lower here than they've ever been. The reason jobs are going overseas is due to free trade agreements with China and India. Corporations are making record profits in the United States, up 22% since 2007. They're sitting on over $2 trillion in offshore bank accounts while urging Congress to declare another corporate "tax holiday" so they can bring the money back into the United States as they did in 2004, which also created no jobs.

[DSuper3]

You people keep complaining about jobs going overseas. Why do you think that is? Do you think it could be because the taxes are lower almost everywhere on earth? How much tax revenue will the IRS collect on businesses that move to China? (GE moved more than 250,000 and Obama appointed the CEO to the position of "Jobs Czar" ! That's 250,000 people not paying income tax or sales tax here either. (Not just the Billions in GE profits) Wake Up Dumbasses!
