Only problem is they are lying. They personally take every possible deduction. They know that if taxes go up, they personally are immune because of the corrupt way the tax system is structured. They really want to see YOUR taxes go up.

If these clods really wanted to be taxed more, they can simply send the IRS a check.

agreed. and take no deductions on their tax forms whatsoever. that way, they are sure to pay their “fair share”.

I’ll take these people seriously when they give away everything but a few hundred million to bring them to the middle class level. Pelosi should be first in line.

Bingo! The initial fraudulent idea of an income tax was based on taxing the “rich” as sold to the people. However, the rich were the ones to bring it about, as they knew it’d be passed onto the middle class, all they had to do was to incorporate. It’s virtually impossible to outmaneuver the rich (Short of an “off with their heads, French style revolution), it’s a historical fact. They’re the ones pulling the strings, always.

(I must add the note, that there is nothing wrong with the rich, the problem is with the lazy, who allow those in the upper class who are dishonest to pillage them. There’s more than enough wealth to go around, the problem is that one portion of the rich—the dishonest and evil—use the dishonest and evil portion of the poor to engage in class warfare to keep everyone down. The only way to counteract them, is to work hard, make something of ourselves, and accept no poisioned carrots! The freebie mentality, invites government control, which surpresses all creativity and prosperity.)

Precisely right! Nothing is stopping them from contributed more, personally, at will by check. They should fee free to do so. But, by "taxing the rich" the way they want to be taxed, the burden is simply transferred via product cost to the consumers. They stay rich ... we become more poor ... and government continues to grow -- right into socialism. Of course they want to be "taxed" more. It cements their position in the "bourgeoisie" even as the middle and lower classes are driven into the "proletariat". It is a blatant and unapologetic application of Marxist Theory.

the bottom line is that they cannot stand the competition.

They got theirs and they want to prevent you from reaching where they are, as you might not think the way that they do, and would spend your resources opposing their thinking.
