but he's completely misinformed. He must be watching FOX news. No one ever said anything about 50% taxes. All Obama is saying is people who do not pay the same percentage of their income in taxes as everybody else, need to pay their fair share.
I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale if you guys are interested.

But you don't understand. If you are referring to the "Buffet rule", where millionaires pay less than their hired help, it's a red herring. The capital gains tax which Buffet pays is a tax on what Buffet has made investing in the market. That's what Buffet does. It is kept low to promote investing. What his secretary pays is a labor tax. Like Jon Lovitz for example. If you raise the capital gains tax, it is a proven fact you will reduce revenue. The 50% he refers to is the total tax burden he bears as a producer. State, local, federal and otherwise.
Buffet talks a good game, but he is currently in arrears with the IRS to the tune of maybe a Billion dollars.
When you raise the capital gains tax, you make uninformed dipshits feel better, and that's about the only upside. These millionaires and billionaires you assholes want to demonize could quite easily tell this America to fuck off, and live elsewhere.

This asshole is smart enough to know those millionaires and billionaires do not give a shit about us. And everything they do is to benefit them. All the politicians they buy and you support, do not give a shit what happens to me or my family. I don't trust them to make the decisions on what is best for the country, because they do not care about anything but themselves.

I'm not going to insult you further because I like you. I'll just say this: your blanket statements aboot millionaires and politicians are fucking stupid. I DO NOT trust politicians. I DO NOT trust corporations. But I do trust in the basic decency of the human condition.
Think of it this way: If politicians were helpless to decide winners and losers in the private sector, it would be up to you and me to make those decisions. The more control you give the Govt. to "go get 'em", the more liberty you surrender.
I know tons of rich people, and have never once run into one who was just a complete asshole. In fact, they are usually fascinating personalities. Nobody wants somebody else to spend their money for them. Especially on shit they don't agree with.
I am against big Govt. Big taxation.
Being American means being your own boss, it's incumbent on us to be informed because weare supposed to be the Govt. Instead, we just delegate those concerns to some person, and go back to our small interests.
I could write a book here, but tl;dr.
Bottom Line: America does not have a king. We are our own monarchy to ourselves. Nobody rules you. It's your job to rule your own domain. No one is entitled to your property. You are not entitled to anyone else's property. This is the America I want back.

I chose not to insult you from the beginning, but like all narrow minded hateful people, it didn't take you long to resort to insults. That's why I am not talking about this with you anymore. At first I wanted to see why you thought the way you did, but I know now, so I am done.

I was hoping you were merely playing devil's advocate at first, but now I sense you just don't really know why you believe whatever it is you believe. If you don't want to be my friend anymore, I understand. You engaged me, don't forget. If you want to talk politics, at least have some understanding of the Constitution.
BTW, you can insult me all you want. This is the DSF after all.

You have no idea what I know or believe. I merely asked a question, and you lumped me in a group, and lashed out at me. Not surprised considering the group you associate yourself with.
