Warren Buffet -The highest tax bracket is over 30% and he would have been paying that. He is in a position to be able to GIVE his money away. He is not a middle class American.

They want to tax big business and the rich, except, elected officials, union bosses, Hollywood stars who make millions, and a select few who support their agenda, otherwise, if you make over 30 grand a year, more taxes to support the welfare system and their pet projects.

properly you teach a astounding know-how of a liberal platform. i assume which you're in all probability interior the wealthiest a million% of people, so yey you will pay greater taxes, and no you do no longer pay adequate. in case you at the instant are not interior the astounding 10% of earning interior the U. S. then you quite are incorrect with regards to the liberal stand, yet considering you're in all probability in no way incorrect, we can only say you're mega-prosperous and a grimy pig and a grasping sleaze that desires no taxes, extra useful training, extra useful nationwide protection and extra useful infrastructure, yet would quite the adverse and midsection type pay for it whilst your agencies acquire extensive salary off the backs of the cesspool of a client marketplace you and your cohorts have confident us all is the yank way. Freddy, whilst did a conservative fueled financial equipment do something yet help the prosperous and create a much better divide between the prosperous and adverse? the respond is "the super melancholy." The Bush tax decrease has netted me a grand complete of $80 3 over the final six years complete, no longer even $20 a 12 months. The Bush "Tax cuts" have rigidity my area to advance sources taxes. So for my hush money to maintain the outrage over the Bush coup, that $3 hundred dollar refund and the different $80 3 greenbacks, my sources taxes went up over $one thousand a 12 months. Now it is helping the decrease midsection type! super interest moron!

Yes I am. I do not favor burdening my future children and grandchildren with the paying of this war. I make enough money where paying extra in taxes to help my country will not hurt me. Nor do I mind making the sacrifice, because I love my country and appreciate all the benefits of being a US citizen. How selfish and greedy would I be to say, yes I love living here, but NO I will not help pay to defend that right?
Honestly yes I am in favor of a tax increase.

I don't favor the investment tax cuts that Bush made...
I was watching a show with warren buffet where he was saying that he's been paying about 15 percent in taxes overall, due to the huge investment tax cuts... and he said that's about the same as those in the lower middle class...
I don't think that's exactly fair... geez, he said he didn't think it was fair...
I assume that he knew what he was talking about...
EDIT: he said that the majority of his income was from investments, as it usually is for the wealthy... so that's where the vast majority of his tax payments went... which after the bush tax cuts...were heavily cut...
that's what he said... again, I assume he knew what he was talking about...

Well maybe the CEO who had a 35-40% pay increase last year, yes I said last year (one year!) while at the same time cutting benefits for workers or laying them off altogether while shipping jobs overseas need to feel a bit more of a pinch. The average CEO's pay has gone up, I believe the number was 265% since 2000,has your paycheck gone up 265% in 6 years? mine and a lot of other peoples has gone down so I have no problem with a bit of equality enhancement. What we really need to do is get a handle on spending to, namely pork barrel spending, or earmarks to the tune of tens of billions a year and just stupid outdated programs and brain dead bureaucracy and management ( see FEMA ) they spent tens of millions for trailers for Katrina victims and then shipped them to Arkansas, WHAT!!! where they sat because they supposedly didn't meet FEMA's specs, ( I think my brain is going to explode! ) Things like this and the thousands of other examples just like it are going to kill us

I'm American, I voted and I'm answering. The message was pounded to the American people for weeks before the elections. Vote democrat, get your taxes raised. America voted for the democrats. Does this answer your question?
