Free trade and trickle-down economics marked the beginning of the tailspin of the American middle class.

Proud to Pay More campaign.


Mr Driscoll and others in the campaign are free to write checks in any amount they choose to the U.S. Treasury if they’re so proud and all. In truth they are wanting to force those not so proud to pay more. Not quite as noble sounding.

This ass could make a huge difference if Walgreens would lower their outrageous prices

Sooo, one would logically conclude from his comments... that Driscoll became a millionaire by over-spending like a drunken sailor in foreign port. Quite the opposite is the truth, no doubt. Yet... here he is, spouting the leftist BS, just like a good little commie tool.

The American dream is fading due to Marxists raping the US economy and deliberately collapsing our financial systems due to their fiscal irresponsibility and corruption.

LMAO! The 1% own Congress. They will be glad to raise taxes on the middle class, but never the elite class.

Driscoll’s pals backhandedly admit government sucks, even as they claim it’s all-wise for lesser folks. Oligarchs give away their money to private foundations and charities, not to the all-wise governments.

The American dream is rapidly diminishing BEACAUSE of taxes on the rich, you Walgreens moron.
Why work hard if the results are stolen by the government?
With this type of leadership, I am not sanguine about Walgreens future.

IMHO that is just feeding the problem.

All thinking people will agree with you.

Apart from the "feeding" - to forcibly take money from the most effective producers in our society for such a foolish maneuver is repugnant if not plainly obscene.

Most of us here will agree it makes much more sense to establish a well-informed orderly society with rules of accountability.

MSN....

Always trying to sell government sponsored cow excrement. The pathway for average Americans is blocked by enormous regulations and government actions that unfairly impact small business. Giving a government that grows exponentially more money will only mean more government intrusion and regulations. The beast has to much money already, feeding it more won’t help.

IIRC——THERE IS A BOX THAN COULD BE CHECKED IF A TAXPAYER WISHED TO PAY MORE TAXES THAN WHAT IS OWED.

LOCK UP THIS LOONEY—

ANOTHER WHO THINKS HIS OPINION SHOULD APPLY TO EVERYONE.

Putting the lay about riff raff to work and collecting lower middle class taxes from them is the better route.

“Driscoll joined over 250 billionaires and millionaires in supporting the Proud to Pay More campaign. “

So give more- voluntarily!!! Stop taking tax deductions that allow you to pay less- lead by example and start paying more voluntarily!!!
