It’s too bad that we can’t buy stock in the federal tax system. With Obama as president that will be only thing sure to go up.
It makes sense for Obama to hit Silicon Valley hard. They are safe Democrat seats, unlikely to flip no matter what Obama does. With lots of dough that can easily convert into tax Revenue for Obama to spend.
He could crap on their front lawn and they would still vote for him. He would therefore be foolish not to tax them to the max.
I think that the Democrats should tax the Hollywood elites at 50% of their income! Yea watch those liberals howl!
Absolutely correct.
I would pay good money to watch that happen! And the perverse thing is, Hollywood would still vote Democrat!
So why not tax them at 99% of all income over, say, $500,000 like Sweden used to do with ABBA? Sounds fair to me: nobody needs more than $500,000 per annum to live off.
Democracy is just the degeneration of a Republic on its way to socialism. The United States was NOT set up as a democracy; we were meant to live in a Republic.
Yea, they want tax increases so let them pay for them!
