I give Boehner two points for that one. So many richies donated to, and voted for, Obama, and now they whine. Idiots.
Dems: stuck on stooooopid!
Nice! Rich liberals are like Europe, happy to allow American conservatives to protect them while whining about Big Business and Green hoaxes aimed at America. It’s time they paid for their opinions like us proles.
Now you could talk about the theoretical tax that Obama's crowd floated not long ago to tax net worth every year to the tune of about 2%. That would leave a mark.
BUT BOEHNER SMOKES CIGARETTES!!!!!!!!!!!
Obvious that the rich support both parties, so they can claim leverage, lobbyist need to be ousted and not allowed in the halls of Congress or bribing the legislators for their votes.
There is much out of whack in Washington and it has been happening bit by bit for years. Now it is big enough to KILL America and all it has stood for under the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
We still have the Constitution, let us pick it up off the floor where all are walking on it and put them out of office, in jail, or impeached.
This is a Red Herring!
The real “Rich” are not even subject to taxation under the tax code, and they are the ones funding the Dems.
The people that benefit from the Bush tax cuts are not the rich, but the upper middle class, who are responsible for at least 80% of the jobs in this country.
The MSM demonize the upper middle, and falsely call them “the wealthiest Americans,” which is nothing but marxist class warfare.
Boehner is a prostitute.
A prostitute is one who does not have the moral scruples for anything but making money.
If he had an ounce of morality, he would not cave in.
I’ve decided that Boehner has made the right move here. Let the Dems screw the rich if they insist on it . . . and deal with the backlash.
Consider Theresa Heinz Kerry- almost all of her money is in tax-free muni bonds or in overseas tax shelters. So if you tripled her USA taxes, she’d pay $180,000 per year instead of $60,000.
This would mean new sails on “the little yacht” every four years instead of three, a devastating inconvenience.
Seeing it put that way, it seems Bohener knew what he was doing...although I thought that in the first place.
Maybe Boehner is smarter than I had given him credit for, or maybe he's just catching on.
I've been trying to tell people for many years that there are very few conservatives as executives or management in corporations, and even less in NGOs, academia, hollywood, government agencies at all levels. The commies having been "seizing the wealth" long before Obama showed up.
