Barry and the rest of the fascists who control our country say they want to do us a favor by eliminating the Bush taxcuts that reduced the top tax brackets from 39 percent to 35 percent.

If our so called representatives had any real desire to make the tax system fair, income above $200,000 would be taxed at 50 percent, income above $350,000 would be taxed at 75 percent.

The most privileged in Amerikkka should contribute more than the rest of us simply because they have the resources to contribute.

And please don't start that nonsense that the rich need tax incentives to create more jobs. Most of these gazillionaires put their money into safe interested-bearing accounts, not into new, risky start up companies.

Freaking whining jerk offs. I say we return to the Eisenhower tax rates, 94%, but WITHOUT the loopholes that made it possible for the rich to pay FAR less than that. Kennedy lowered the top rate to 72%, but he eliminated the loopholes so they DID have to pay higher rates. THIS is why republicans keep using lowering taxes as being a good thing. It is, but ONLY if you eliminate the loopholes.

These people are scum. They are proof that having money doesn't make a you a better person. In fact, it tends to make you a WORSE person, because now you have to protect what you stole from others. And don't kid yourselves, this IS theft. The ONLY difference between these slime and organized crime is the fact that organized crime admits that they are crooks. Those who went out of their way to screw the entire country should be taken out and lined up against a wall, somewhere. They worked actively to destroy us, and that in my book is TREASON. The constitution has a very clear remedy for scum like this, I say we take it and USE it.

If tax breaks were so great at providing jobs, then WHERE ARE THE GD JOBS? EXACTLY the opposite is true, it's tax breaks for big money that DESTROY jobs here. Business has been given more breaks than at any time in our history short of the 1920's, and we've lost jobs like we were bleeding from a gut wound.Only the truly INSANE would give a damn about making these scum even richer. If they don't like being asked to do their share, then take EVERYTHING they own and screw them. They have been doing that very thing to US for 30 years, I say it's time they get it right back in their faces, and MAKE IT HURT. TRAITORS deserve NOTHING more.

Let's hang the rich.

In this emerging age of corporate feudalism, upper management is the nobility. As with any feudal state, there is one rule for them and one for the rest of us. This manifests itself in the form of 'golden parachutes.'

The guillotine is a lot more horrifying to the guillotinee than a rope. Share and share alike I alway heard.
Back to chopping up some fallen branches----MD

From article:

"...Being bad, you see, can be awfully good for a CEO's bottom line. For example, IPS documented one category of badness-to-goodness that is especially infuriating. Five of the 50 leading pink-slip-issuers last year were also bailout barons..."

Ol Jim forgets one thing: the corporate charter legally binds them to maximize return for shareholders. Morality, or public utility is not part of the legal requirements.

We need to change the legal framework and the system.

The French Revolution was in part sparked by the fact that 85% of the population were dirt poor peasants. America will not come close to this, but we may be heading back to an official 25% unemployment rate for just white males as during the Great Depression.

Latest statistic to mull on:

5% of the populace accounts for 35% of ALL consumer spending.

"Good grief, man, get a grip! Next thing you know, these doofuses will hire Glenn Beck to host a weepy telethon to "Save the Billionaires Tax Loophole.""

And they'll report that the socialist job killer Obama is trying to raise taxes by 20% on people who create jobs.

If they haven't already.

These people are the scum of the earth. I would rather spend my time any day with hard working people as opposed to these folks. These people neither work hard or at all!

Perhaps placing a few of their heads on pikes on the major thoroughfares in and out of a few major cities would have an edifying effect on the rest of them. Let's face it. Give them the chance and they'd do considerably worse to us...they already are doing worse to a lot of us.

They are going to have to be TERMINATED. There is no other way; Romanoff with their heads.

"Yes, some of the richest, most pampered people on the planet — people who literally wallow in luxury every day, with never a concern about losing a job, a home or health care, or getting their kids into college — these people are wailing in self-pity."

AHEM. The rich, amazingly enough, still possess a small portion of their thinking ability. Perhaps it's that 'less than respectful' look the doorman, the maid, the shopkeeper or the chauffeur gave them yesterday. Could it be that the creeping dread they feel is clairvoyance? Are they hearing the 'How does it feel?' song from Bob Dylan playing in their mind? Or perhaps the rich were so busy brainwashing us about how necessary and proper it is to be accepted by society (no matter how sick the society) that they brainwashed themselves while they were at it. They aren't loved or/and envied; they are hated and it's driving them crazier than they have ever been. I think they are afraid. Now that is, considering what they have done to us, rational thinking.
