Robert Reich: OBAMA IS BACK !!

Someone should explain to Mr. Reich that the demagogue never left--unfortunately!

Secondly, it is not Gov. Romney, who is behind the idea that different folk should pay taxes by different rules. That is what those who have foisted the steeply "progressive" tax structure on Americans have created. And any calculation that claims that big earners are actually being taxed at a lower rate, today, is demonstrably dishonest.

Yes, "Capital Gains" are taxed at a different rate than ordinary income. But unless you have a moronic ignorance of economic reality--or in the case of Robert Reich a dishonest bent--you understand that that is hardly some sort of unfair advantage. (For a discussion of just how vicious, even the present rate of taxation on long term capital gains, actually is, see the footnote on the subject: Capital Gains Taxation.)

For understanding the argument as it relates to solving economic problems, see Constitution of the United States, Article I, Sec. 9, which forbade any direct tax on individuals that was not per capita. Why is that significant, in view that the XVIth Amendment, in 1913? Because during the first 124 years, when that was the policy, we grew into the greatest economic dynamo on earth--a position that we are rapidly losing today, with the class-warfare demagoguery that men like Obama & Reich personify.

Now Romney can imagine what it’s like being in a threesome between obama and candy

eech

Why does the RNC even participate in this crap???????????

It’s like putting a blindfold and extra weight on your horse and a monkey on his back- then sending him out onto a sloppy race track and expecting your supporters to keep betting on him
