I strongly advocate elimination of all refundable tax credits. Everyone should pay at least 10% of their income for taxes as long as we have an income tax. Tax freeloading must stop. Tax welfare must stop.

He doesn’t have a problem with his OWN wealth, however.

Here’s the thing about the wealthy, they love big government because it keeps out their competition. That’s why most of the filthy rich, like Warren Buffett are Democrats.

I wish our side would stop saying ‘Rich’ or ‘Wealthy’ and instead refer to those as ‘Employers’.

Thats strange. I thought Hussein had a vendetta against all REAL Americans.

This requires capital and investors who are willing to risk it on new enterprises. Capital is on strike in the Obama economy, and his plan to push capital gains tax rates higher will only keep it locked up and spread further uncertainty throughout the investment and business community.

There is one common thread that runs through those who "hate", or resent, the wealthy. They all seem to be like obama, lazy rabble who want something for nothing.

You don't see everyday Americans who go to work, pay their bills, and raise their families sitting around whining about the rich. By virtue of having the drive and intelligence to work for a living and make their own way, they know that you never get jobs from a poor man, and, that rich people did not get that way by being frivilous with their money.

Everyday we hear of some obama type winning the lottery, and they are filing bankruptcy in a couple of years.

The obamabots want to make it a sin for rich people to make money, but if those rich people whose investments result in more business and jobs were to stop, we'd all be jobless. We see the example already on the business that obama has meddled with as it has affected the jobs situation in America.

People who resent the rich think they are somehow "owed" a living, that they shouldn't have to work. Even obama's past professors, as well as White House insiders have all told how profoundly lazy obama is; he's a glory-seeker looking for a free ride, but don't ask him to do any actual work, lest you see one of the famous obama outbursts...or at least a scowl and a "presidential" pout.

That's why these people love, and fight for, socialism. It means they can sit their lazy asses on the wagon while the rest of us push and pull it along. Show me an obama fan and I'll show you a lazy f*cker...period.

He is the "gimme" president and that's where most of his popularity came from - the promise of freebies...colored beads and glass trinkets to the populace.

How anyone who is mature and serious about our country can allow him to continue playing "White House", is beyond me.

my wealthy MIL hates the rich too.............go figure

In terms of just economic analysis, of course the author is right. But I think the author makes a huge mistake in assuming that zero is simply wrong out of ignorance. In fact, the title of the article is accurate - it’s a vendetta against the “rich” (and the middle class as well). But then the author goes on to explain zero’s policies that damage the “rich” as a reflection or function of his ignorance.

Either it’s a vendetta or it’s ignorance. It can’t be both.

Obama did well with wealthy voters in 2008. It never occured to him that they could bolt?
