I think it is 9 or 9.25 across the state line.

I believe that is correct.

Let’s let the dems do whatever they want - they can ‘ease’ the money until every dollar is almost worthless, they can squeeze every person who owns a business and loot anyone with money. We can’t stop them so why set ourselves up to take the blame?

Our job is to change the way voting is done in this country. The was we vote is as stupid as a store that sets out a bowl for money - and lets people ‘pay’ voluntarily ... Maybe once it was possible but in today’s United States all stores have to have security tags, closed circuit cameras, store police, etc. The real world of lowlifes has to be acknoldged.

We need to stop pretending inner city lowlifes are playing by queensbury rules. They’re not. They cheat on voting and think it’s cool ... Dems play by Chicago Street gang rules - and they win because we’re fools. This isn’t the country we loved. Ten thugs kinking an unarmed person in the groin is not ‘fair’ or ‘cool’ and we need to wake up to who we’re up against.

Easy solution. Bush tax rates in red states and obama tax rates in blue states.

The vast majority of very wealthy people supported Obama: I think it's time to give them what they voted for, and give it to them good and hard.

The House should also answer the "fiscal cliff" problem by re-passing the 2007 budget and adding in whatever additional tax revenues are expected from the higher tax rates on the "rich." They could also redo deductions and tax rates to lower the corporate tax to 10% (what it is in parts of Europe).

They should realize that the endgame for the Dems is a VAT tax + punitive income tax rates (just as in Europe) and they should scream about it load enough so it gets past the media barrier.

Actually pass a balanced budget in this manner and see what the Dem response is.

Yep-- no more capital gains or carried interest special rates-- reduce the corp tax rate and make up for it by treating all income the same regardless of origin.

This will hit the Trial Lawyers Assoc. very hard because they structure much of their income as "dividends" or "interest" to pay the lower cap gains rates.

The rich have abandoned any principled leadership role in this country, so screw 'em.

Leftists have taken to calling all conservatives “neocons,” but Kristol’s father was one of the original neo-conservatives. They are big-government liberals of the 1950s variety. They are for an interventionist foreign policy, lots of government programs and spending, and have no stomach for social conservatism.

They were strongly anti-Communist, but really only in a Soviet-bloc mindset. I don’t think they ever grasped the undermining of our institutions by communist sympathizers.

But they’ll be raising taxes on the $250-thousand-aires, too!

How is France’s private sector doing under these tax-the-rich policies?

Leaving France?

We raise taxes and OBAMA spends it...what FOOLS...

There is lies the rub, DumBO cannot be trusted and will not cut spending, if fact, it will be his excuse to spend more.

It is not that some millionaires can forgo a Ferrari, but, that some small business owners will go out of business. The winner will not be the American people, but, big business that will pick up the slack of providing the service small business provides. And, nothing a bureaucracy likes more than having only a select few to regulate than a host of small entrepreneurs.

Trump Says Taxes for the Wealthy Should Go Up

Newsmax ^ | 5/8/16 | Thompson/Reuters

Donald Trump said on Sunday that taxes for the wealthy should go up but that his tax plans would likely be renegotiated with Congress should he win the U.S. presidency. “For the wealthy I think frankly it is going to go up and, you know what, it really should go up,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Trump said that he see his current tax plans, which would reduce taxes for the middle class and businesses and increase those for the wealthy, as a negotiating “floor” that may change in dealings with Congress.
