Another whopper that the MSM will blithely ignore.
We have a lapdog press, and they're head over heels in love with the liar.

Yuppers, he wants to raid the “rich”... the 2% of our society. Makes me think of the logic prior to the Russian revolution, “just think, if we take the Czars wealth, we’ll all be rich”.
So they raided and killed the Czar and were not any better off financially. Go figure.
A better analogy is that of the windfall lottery winner. Gets the cash and in 18 months is restored to his original position in life. Why? Never learned that wealth, like farming , has 4 seasons. Obama is in this boat. Flipping irresponsible. Intentionally irresponsible. Ruinously intentionally irresponsible.... no, lets make it maliciously intentionally masked as irresponsiblity.

That’s different than saying 80% want THEIR taxes raised.

and the poll sounds something like, “with a massive federal deficit, do you think millionaires should pay their share?”

Thats different than saying 80% want THEIR taxes raised. Translation: "Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax that guy behind the tree."

This is rather like Jon Stewart's vehement claim that Fox News viewers are the most consistently uninformed. That the exact opposite is true (as pointed out by Chris Wallace with a real survey) does not affect their insistence on bona fide facts and statistical analysis that prove their point. They simply believe their point of view with such genuine fervor, that their minds create an entire imaginary majority and supporting evidence to prove it. I used to think it was just lying to try to win an argument, but some of these people actually convince themselves that it's real - it's like those people who falsly remember being molested as children. They really believe their own delusions.

No...you are not in the minority. You would agree that we have a revenue problem due to 47% of the base don’t supply any revenue.
That is the key fact 0bama either doesn’t understand, dismissed, didn’t get the details on...
Taxing the rich isn’t going to solve this crisis.
We’ve got to cut the spending and increase the revenue contributions exponentially. And that can only be done if the other 47% start to toe the line on taxes.

I suspect a “balanced” approached polls and focus groups so well because people associate it with a balanced budget and themselves being balanced and reasonable.
Don’t use made up euphemisms like “balanced approach” and “increasing revenue” and people won’t answer contrary to their intentions.
To: Kartographer
Sheesh, how can you guys be so ignorant, he was referring to the 80% in the extra 7 US states beyond the 50.
Don’t ja know?
To: Kartographer
His continued lying is beginning to sound all too familiar. Is he related to Casey Anthony?

To: Jane Long
Does he mean 80% of the 50% who pay NO taxes want higher taxes?
Just clarifying his blather.
I'm not sure as I didn't watch it.
But from reading that sentence, it sounds like word-salad lawyerspeak. Can be construed in more than one meaning.
Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken?

To: Kartographer
Let’s see..only half actually pay income taxes, so safe to assume the remaining 20% who would prefer to NOT pay more, consist of that group.
In other words, if you believe hussein’s BS roughly 30% of those that pay taxes, want to pay more.
