1. I'd call it a battle against class warfare

We, the little poor people, have had this war going against us for some time now. Fighting back isn't what they ever expected.

7. Ike Understood: Concentrated Wealth Brings Instability

In 1955,under Eisenhower, the top 400 taxpayers paid 51% of all income taxes. The top rate was 91%. Most families paid no income taxes; there was a $600 deduction for each dependent, and most families earned less than $3000 annually. There was no talk of class warfare, this was considered fairness.

8. Yep, Ike knew...

And no one freaked out about it, because it was the right thing to do. You can't ask most americans to pay 30+% in income tax and have those with top incomes paying 10% or less... mostly less.

2. Its that idiot who works on their CNBC side

He's a moron. He managed to throw in a dig about Obama being a community organizer too. He's worried about his taxes

3. You have to laugh. They're quite brazen about showing up on here.

4. Might have been me.

Sorry 'bout that, but I hope we win.

5. Funny thing is....

Obama never talked about rescinding the top level tax cuts. His plan has always been to let them expire.

6. Well put down that caviar and get the pitchfork Chip and Buffy.

n.t.

9. It isn't, OBVIOUSLY, but what if it WERE?? The super-rich are LUCKY there's no GUILLOTINE any more!!

I've always wanted a reason to take up knitting.
