So Obama just put raising taxes on the table...

then go to france, or greece.

I dont mean to sound condescending, but did you just say you want to tax mulit-millionaires at 90%? are you that jealous? envious? Ok lets eliminate ALL the millionaires in the USA. Lets take all their money.

What do you think that will do to unemployment? You cant complain about the evil rich on one hand and then expect the economy to get better. Fact is THEY DO MORE FOR THE ECONOMY THAN ANYONE ELSE. How many jobs is Bill Gates responsible for? Richard Branson? Steve Jobs? Steve Forbes? Donald Trump? Lets take all their money and throw all the people they employ away.

I mean if they created their own wealth, why SHOULDNT they keep it. You think Donald Trump would keep employing his thousands of workers for $50,000 a year? No he does it cause it makes him wealthy, and he enjoys the perks with being "rich". he also donates millions of dollars to charities. Look at bill gates, he donates MILLIONS of dollars a year to charities. Where would that money come from if the govt took it all away?

The fact is our society is built to have people that get ahead, innovate, make MILLIONS AND BILLIONS. You get paid based on your talent. So if you suck at life, you dont get to own a ferrari. Some people get lucky and accumulate wealth easily, some earn it through more conventional methods, some NEVER get ahead. Thats how you have a balanced society. This utopian dream is bullshit and will never happen.

Lets say your employer lays you off tomorrow because they increase his taxes 10%. Will you be thankful then?

I just cant believe some of the unfounded idiotic statements people make. Its easy when you make $20,000 a year to look at the guy making $200,000 a year and saying "GIVE ME MORE OF WHAT YOU HAVE". Its harder to actually try and get to his level.

Which is what our society has become, a bunch of complainers and whiners

Im definitely not jealous. I dont need a million dollars. I could do the same exact things millionaires could with 200k. I can live in a huge house (paid off), drive nice cars (paid off), go on vacation when or wherever I want , and my kids college would be paid for. What do I need a million bucks for? To buy millionaire estates with? Who's gonna clean all that shit? Definitely not me. Tax em all. 90% like they did back in the 50's and 60's. When americans quality of life was 100x better, the rich were still rich and the middle class was stronger. All those CEO's you've listed, their PERSONAL income is separate from their BUSINESS income. The only reason jobs would be lost is because of greed, someone else wanting to maintain the same income by taking away from their employees. We've cut taxes once (Bush Jr. pt. 1) on top of pouring $$$ down the drain in Iraq and its pretty evident what thats done for the economy. I have no problem getting mine. I work just as hard as anyone. But its time for the greed for greed's sake to end. No, it didnt work for Reagan, the president of Wall Street (thank you, deregulation), and you have to be out of your mind to think it worked for Bush Jr. You must not live in the same Americas that I do, but us little guys are having a pretty hard time. Even if you dont realize it. Lets stop catering to the rich, and start catering to everyone. If you have a problem with EVERYONE being "successful" then you're part of the problem at hand
