Of course the rich are saving their money because they know with this administration they will be taxed to death! See all you people who constantly bash the rich really have NO CLUE how much they spend and boost they economy. Now they'll just park their money on the sidelines and wait a few years and see what happens!
Rich taxed to DEATH?... well, you know what they say about death and taxes

Read the title of this thread again.
Yes they are being taxed to death and now they're just finding more loopholes around it!Most of the rich are businesses people,so any good businesses person would/should have a really good CPA who knows the tax laws! Who wouldn't want to keep more of their money!
Maybe you should've got a better education or went out and taken the risk instead of being JEALOUS for what someone else has!
There's also a huge difference between the "Greedy" rich...Goldman Sachs,BOA,POLITICIANS,etc....than people who got rich from not screwing others..... Ford,Microsoft,Berkshire Hathaway.
Think for a minute...Why would anyone take the job as president which only pays $400K a year?
Obama made over 5 million last year,so I guess you can throw him under the bus for being the "Greedy Rich" too!

Obama paid nearly 2 million in taxes for 2009, and I don't see him or Michelle complaining of being taxed!:
so apparently obama paid his fair share of taxes, but you complain that the rich dont pay enough in taxes. so which is it? the rich dont pay enough, or they really pay their fair share but you are jealous of what they worked for?
so you think its FAIR for someone to have to pay 35% of his/her money just to the federal government (not including state and local) while the poor/working/middle class pay next to nothing, and many actually get more in return??

Obama is for sunsetting Bush tax cuts (for the rich), and so am I.

You think its FAIR that poor WORK for starvation wages and get paid next to nothing for WORKING?
A poor person pays payroll takes, excise taxes, gasoline taxes, state sales or income taxes, telephone/cable/power/utility/fishing/hunting/ etc. fees or other add ons and ends up, if he/she's lucky being out about half of what they earn on the front end.
A rich person sloughs off a sales tax, an income tax, a gasoline tax, various fees and hires an accountant to be sure he doesn't pay more than 20% total.
The screwing continues...the screwing goes on.
OK, then vote in people who support a flat tax, no exceptions. Of course, then those poor people will be taxed at the same rate as the rich people and vice-versa.

absolutely! since they don't have any education, experience or something else that creates values! everyone deserves his wage and nothing more! if you are a value creator you'll get a wage that certifies it!
I don't know a single person that brings something to the table and struggles!

thats up to you, but when the rich take their money and go home, and the job market falls even further, dont blame me, or the republicans.

the minimum wage was never designed to be a livable wage. it was supposed to be for the kids of legal age in school looking to make a little money, and gain job experience so that when they got out of school, they wouldnt have to start at minimum wage, but rather at a higher starting wage. government regulation and the constant pushing of minimum wage higher and higher means that more people would be working minimum wage jobs for longer.
