i dont want to get political
but if its so fair to tax ppl who make more money at a higher tax rate..

at what rate does someone who makes 300k pay?

at what rate does obama, who makes 4.4mil, pay?

should the scale not be graduated all the way to the top?
i mean
if hes says ppl who makes 300k can afford to pay x rate, shouldnt obama pay MORE than x rate, since he can afford it ?

this isn't absolute socialism, but it was still socialism in a sense. Socialism can be described as taking from one group and giving to another...ergo, Obama's plan is socialism.

The numbers above prove that.

it's not socialism.. you don't even know what socialism mean...

his plan actually is no higher than Reagan or senior bush's administration for the upper bracket.

And socialism includes many different aspects including absolute government control, and no PRIVATE PROPERTY, and all forms of production owned by states. Collective government ownership, etc.

None of the socialist aspects are happening, you are just plain idiot. If you want to complain, the bail out was a pure socialist move.

When the state takes the capital from one group of people and gives it to another that is socialism. And there is hardly much "private property" any more. The banks own most of this "private property" and the state owns the central bank. Or the bank could own the state either way its still not owned by the individual. The government forces unionization of automakers, infact most production is regulated by the state. And most companies get loans from the banks to buy the means of production.

the States do not own the banks, they DO NOT OWN THE BANKS, if anything, its the other way around, what do you think government bonds are? The bail out was the ultimate socialist move, if you are so against socialism, then don't be bias against Obama, because both parties agreed to the bail out. If AMerica is a true captalist nation, the government should have just let all the banks/corporations brankrupt and not give them a cent.

As i said or vise verca the state is run by the banks therefore we dont live in a land of free men. But think about this when ron paul was running for president during the primaries he won most hand counts. However only got one out of 5 votes on the diebold machines. Diebold also makes atms for chase and bank of america. They also had large investments from these banks during the same timem 65 percent higher profits than usual. The true canidate of change may have been cheated out of the electio

I wish they would have covered the business taxes as well, and people who make over 2.9 million, can afford a really good accountant (which they most likely already have) to pay less than 700k which they could afford anyway.

0114770 people work just as hard in the lower class as the upper class. i'm actually surprised to see some of the wealthiest people sit on their ass doing nothing.
