Pelosi: Tax rates must go up on rich

**SNIP**
“The president made it very clear in his campaign that there is not enough -- there are not enough resources,” Pelosi said in an interview aired Sunday on ABC's “This Week.
“Just to close loopholes is far too little money … If it's going to bring in revenue, the president has been very clear that the higher income people have to pay their fair share.”

She could support half the deficit just with the money she spends on botox.
You and your multi-multi-multi-multi millionaire husband FIRST, Nancy. We want to see YOUR tax returns as proof you paid YOUR FAIR SHARE as proof too!
Wow. Excellent.
Pelosi’s wealth should be confiscated. Why does SHE need tens of millions of dollars to live on when there are so many welfare babies, illegals wanting to go to law school and obamaphones to pay for.
The big mistake they made, the one the had to make, was allowing their constituency to be congregated together in a few small urban areas.
They are too dogmatic to stop what is coming; they’ll feed until they puke, or they gorge themselves, and their herd to apparent non-existence. It will then come to how long the government can sustain them in a SHTF situation. Based on Sandy, not very effing long. All we need to do is stay far away from them while they decimate themselves.
When you hear a liberal say “fair share”, first, get them to agree that everyone should pay their fair share. Then, ask them what percentage they think the “fair share” should be. If they obfuscate, push them for specifics.
Get a percentage for the lowest income earners and then get a percentage for the “1%”. I ask the question this way:
Ok, so you say fair share. What is their fair share? How much money do you want the federal government to be able to take from the People? 10%, 30% 50%? What is the maximum amount of money that the Federal government should be allowed to seize from their incomes?
Their answers are very revealing.
A 0.1 percenter lecturing the 1 percenters. OK....
Pelosi is dumb as a rock. Increasing taxes on the rich, and especially taxes on investment, does not increase government revenues.
Pelosi: “there are not enough resources”
It’s not resources, princess, it’s taxes. Why don’t you just come out and say it, you have an insatiable lust for more taxes on the productive class.
True. And has someone changed the definition of the word “fair”? Fair would be to treat all people equally, as in a national sales tax or flat tax.
This notion that a progressive tax code is somehow “fair” is based on the premise that the wealthy have attained said wealth by UNFAIR means.
That’s just it, Nancy, making rich people pay more than other people pay is not ‘their fair share’. There is nothing ‘fair’ about it, you twit.
Why do they let stupid people that lie on TV?
They can tax the rich 95 % and it will not make a slight dent in the deficit. In fact it won’t make any dent because once you give the Federal Government money they will find something to spend it on besides debt reduction. And reducing the debt is a losers game. You spend what you have and no more or you will ALWAYS HAVE DEBT.
How about giving members of congress the same health insurance as a business owner who pays for his own insurance? How about dropping the automatic inflation adjustment that they gave themselves and we don’t have?
Anybody that believes differently is in for a seriously hard time.
I've watched this unfold since growing up in Michigan and watching in amazement and disgust at how unions politicians, and crony capitalists formed an alliance to "get it while you can".
I've watched the economic bubbles get ever larger and more unstable.
I saw Katrina and Rita 1st hand - how in a heart beat the infrastructure and society collapses, and how helpless the urban masses are without someone else feeding and providing shelter for them.
Yep, we're one small shock away from the big SHTF event.
...to do so would be surrendering to Obama’s Marxist agenda of class warfare...
...we will know the RINOs from the conservatives if rate increases do pass the House.
No, Nancy. I want a wealth tax.
Let’s see 75% of your excessive wealth redistributed to the needy.
I want to see all the billionaires wealth taxed to give to the poor.
I want to see the millionaires in Hollywood taxed to support the needy.
Talk about giving up your unearned wealth, your rentier incomes and then we might get somewhere.
Pelosi and the other democrats in congress are the rentiers of Maxist fame.
Are her taxes going up?
“fair share” is nothing but communist agitprop meant to rile up the proletariat. What is fair about 50% of people not paying a DIME in federal tax? That is plainly immoral and is the real argument about fairness here.
It is disgusting that the president and minority leader/ex-Speaker continually resort to this.
Call her bluff. The Democrats know this won’t fix things. This is just more of their posturing.
“Look! Look Democrat voters! We are going to tax the rich and give it to you.”
Be my guest. Let’s see you do it.
Of course not. She's not rich, like the other millionaires, because you can't put a price tag on her "public service."
“the house and senate...”
“We’ll gonna need a longer wall.”
