It is unbelievable when people say "giving money to the wealthy". It was their money in the first place!

And by the way, they DO PAY ALOT in taxes. Do you even know or understand our progressive tax system. Obama knows you don't and this is exactly why he is using you for his class warfare. Obama used class warfare as a tool to divide Americans. Obama is using politics of division in a desperate attempt to get elected in the fall.

12 years?
Exactly, so many people NOT paying taxes and expecting other people to carry everyones share. At least the working poor have the decency to work but don't be so easy to buy into class warfare hype because in the end it is the middle class who will get hurt the most if this continues.

The IRS's own tax data isn't relevant?

That makes no sense. You can't "give" anyone money that was theirs to begin with.

You've got that backwards. My posts echo the findings of the Chairman of the Economics Department at Harvard University's analysis of the latest IRS data and CBO report.

Your posts are nothing but unsubstantiated rants.

I see, you are not smart enough to do your own research so you just copy and paste. I somehow don't see you ever obtaining any degree.

I post links that document the actual findings. Should I look at everyone's tax returns and tabulate the results myself, or should I believe the IRS's own published data?

Maybe you should take responsibility for once and know when to quit. Especially when you're wrong.
