The real rich doesnt earn an income, they become rich by growing assets. I'd be embarassed to be in todays society and not know the difference.

But Obama and the Dems are NOT. They're talking about $250k earners. To them, $250k earners are "the rich" who are "buying jets."

This is where I wish the GOP did a better job at educating the public. Someone can bring in $250K a year and be poor, and others who bring in $25K a year be "rich".. Rich is determined by wealth, not income, and we tax income, not wealth We need to keep reminding people of this fact.

Are you sure? If you earn 250k a year you cannot maintain a jet

Wher ein this country is 25k a year "rich"? I think that you are getting people who live within their means and those who don't confused

Why would you be embarrassed over something as silly as that?

What cuts have been made to welfare programs? None...zero....

Well I got to page 4 and saw that no Republican has answered the question.

Typical Responses Are:

1. They are carrying the burden and paying most of the taxes (lie)

2. They are a business and this will trickle down (people aren't corporations and corporations aren't people)

3. Ignore the question and attack the poor once again.

Hmm...funny someone was just complaining about how Medicaid and Medicare cuts have affected the income of doctors in another thread.
