I am fine with taxing the rich a bit to help out those less fortunate. Instead of getting the $90,000 BMW, get the $80,000 model. It's really not a big deal. Just take a week off from caviar or cancel your membership to your yacht club. I think you unlucky, poor wealthy people can manage!

I'm not deciding anything, merely saying examples and suggestions.

It's not like ALL the rich people's money is donated to help the needy.

Some of you need to stop claiming to be Christian because it's really quite un-Christlike of you to complain about giving some money to people who are LESS FORTUNATE; yes, that's right. Not LESS INTELLIGENT or LESS ACTIVE; LESS FORTUNATE.

Your personal success has much more to do with your social and familial environment than it does your own personal talents. How many orphans make it to become fortune 500 CEOs? Is it because all orphans are stupid? Or is it because they don't have the support systems you stuck up upper class children have? Hmm... I wonder!

Because the rich people worked damn hard to make their money (in most cases) and don't want it taken away from them. It's like being penalized for doing well.

Well Billy, I see you got an A, but I'm going to knock it down to a B and give that letter grade difference to Johnny who got an F, so now he gets a D!

That aint fair and isn't right.

A lot of people have said we shouldn't tax rich people more just because they've worked harder and earned it, but that's not usually the case. The really rich, statistically speaking, usually inherit their money. I'm not saying you won't earn it, I'm just saying lots of people don't. And those people who don't are usually not even "rich" so to speak, they're "holy freaking cow, I'm buying an island just to keep all my cars parked on it" rich.

Of course I am!!! Why wouldn't I be?

Umm yeah..... im a conservative and it's fishy how he hasn't shown any health records. however, Obama has not even shown us his birth certificate, so how do we know that he's in fact been born in the US?badassninja1234

Wouldn't the Senate etc have had noticed before allowing him to be a nominee?

[QUOTE="FragStains"]You are removing self-reliance and personal responsibility from society. FragStains

Right. That's the usual argument I hear, but given what's gone down in the past few months - to those that say it wouldn't be fair to pay for someone elses expense, I must ask.....

How fair do you see it that You now have to pay the $850 Billion dollar bailout for something you didn't do? Taking away personal responsibility from the rich.

And, I haven't seen one extra penny taken from my paycheck for taxes since this occured.

I'd say it's a mixture of both faults, but more the banks.

The people looking for a good deal got suckered in by whatever proposal the banks had to offer thinking they'd come out ahead, despite being poor and/or low in assets, they saw the oppurtunity and got caught up in the dream. As they say, "If it's to good to be true, it probably isn't". Right.

But then the banks are faults for ultimately accepting loan contracts from people who had no real assets to back anything up. They get SSNs - previous & current bank records - credit histories and a plethora of information about anyone wanting to do business with them that should be taken into account on the banks behalf before signing any kind of acceptance. So it's not like the banks got suckered in by the people looking for loans, they screwed themselves over by mismanaging the "money" they handle. IMO, it's the banks fault in the end.

As far as the tax, I suppose it would come under Federal Tax, but rest assured, we're paying that bailout for generations to come.

because my eligibility or ability to be president isn't what's being questioned here.

lol you got offended? you stoop pretty low just to answer the question. I suppose that's a typical response however

Whoever it is its a private thing medical records. This guy is already having his whole life analysed by the media let him have his basic liberties like the right to hold on to his medical records lest he have something embarassing that the media would blow out of all proportion.

I'm sorry but what you said is utterly disgraceful and undemocratic.

What was disgraceful about my post? I'm not trying to be a democrat or a republican.
