Let’s FIGHT BACK with real FAIRNESS in our tax policy. FairTax is Fair.
FlatTax is a fair tax.

A dictator, such as Obama, only has the power that the people give him.

Currently at least 40 % of American voters are gladly willing to give Obama the necessary power to continue his dictatorship.

Dictator Obama has designed Obama”care” to become active only AFTER he is re-elected, thus enabling THE NINE SUPREMES to delay ruling on the Constitutionality of the dictate of the individual mandate until Obama is once again the Illegal Foreign White House Occupier, (IFWHO).

The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he as achieved 60 % of his goals, according to the note he says he carries in his pocket.

Obama’s obvious deep hatred of America could have only come from his childhood.

Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obama’s past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.

The lack of credible evidence that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.

Who the key members of Obama’s probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the CIA and the FBI.

Will the “Citizen Journalists” such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy these two tax-funded spy entities?

BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.

BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculation: what does your gut tell you?

His argument that tax fairness and the common good demand the richest Americans pay at least as much as middle-income taxpayers do

I completely agree. Lower the middle classes taxes.

Increasing capital gains taxes to 30% would raise little if any revenue. It would, however, substantially increase the cost, and decrease the availability, of new capital for American industry, particularly start-up or development stage ventures. Having worked in the capital raising business for more than 30 years, I know this to be true. Without those start up companies, our economy will be much less dynamic and innovative and will create many fewer jobs. Surely the American public will not vote for this economic disaster just to increase the progressivity of what is already one of the most progressive income tax systems on earth.

Frm rat presidential primary debate on 4/16/08:

Charles Gibson: "...And in each instance, when the rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased. The government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28%, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected"?

Obama: "Well. Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital gain tax for purposes of fairness".

This is another lame attempt by the communists democrats to define the terms of the debate. It will work only if we on the Right permit it.

The correct approach here, IMHO, is to counter this with the "Buffet Suggestion"!

The only "rule" here is the one created by the left.

Don't give in to this shit! Counter it LOUDLY at every opportunity, especially if you're going before the media.

When questioned about it, point out the inanity of calling this absurd thing a "rule". After a short time, believe me, they won't question you any more. They'll simply try to ignore you.

Count that turn of events as a small victory.

CA....
