The Wall Street rich are being forced to pay their fair share of taxes... oh noes!

[jhuson]

But you are missing the freaking point, where will the jobs come from? If the high flying CEO’s and corporations are taxed and it gets to the point…lets grow the business or just wait things out…do we invest and try to grow the company (and pay more in taxes) or just keep things manageable? There comes a point where ROI isn’t there so why invest? The cost and risk of investing outweighs the ROI…so where will these jobs come from?

Oh yeah more taxes…lets make the government bigger! But government doesn’t create anything…creates no value or products...

Btw I think the 2% of american’s are already paying 40% of the taxes in America.

Please explain to me why a company would expand its operations if there was no demand to make the expansion necessary.

You act as though all companies automatically expand and invest in new products and projects simply because they have some extra money. Generally speaking, businesses don't expand unless there is a NEED (demand) for them to do so.

When times are tight, many companies cut their R&D budgets FIRST.

Govt. creates no value or products? One acronym for you: NASA

I see the Government as a big holding company for the American people. It is not only in our best interests, but it is their DUTY to use OUR holdings in a prudent manner to avert or soothe economic crises. Otherwise, what is the point of even having a government?

If I ever had a desire to fly in space think that I would trust virgin over NASA.

The reason why your side lost so badly is you feel those 'people' are too lazy to work. Your politics of hate and condescent backfired, because the people you are preaching hate for, voted this time around.

And I'm rich, too - and I'm happy to pay higher taxes.

Now where is that thread about you?

Aw man, your foot went so high up his ass he's flossing his teeth with your shoe laces...

 

[garbage can]

Maybe the rich should pay all the taxes and then you wouldn't have to pay anything. I think that evryone gets one vote so everyone should pay the same amount. Why should people who earn more that $250,000 pay for people who are too lazy to work and pay for their own health insurance? I'm not a Wall street fat cat and I work hard for my money-but I do very well. Why should I be penalized? BTW the estate tax hurts everyone. After you die the government will take 40-50% of your assets instead of it going to loved ones. Haven't they already taxed you on it once-why should they get to tax you on it again after you die?

Just to amplify a bit, Bush, proposed a repeal of the "death tax", guess what? The tax loving Dems opposed it.

Of course we oppose a repeal of the estate tax. That tax was originated by Teddy Roosevelt in order to discourage the creation of an hereditary leisure class in America.

Big biz paid All the taxes until the Civil War.

The taxes on the wealthy are only going back to what they were under Clinton, you know the good old days. I don't remember the sky falling then.

Why does the rich (repubicans) hate stimulas packages, it all ends up back in their hands in the end anyway.

When it comes to spending or spending for the better good … the private sector can send one dollar but to achieve the same results will cost the government five dollars.

No less wise than big business.
