Democrats willing to risk tax hike for all | Fox News

I've seen toddlers act more grown up.
Someone needs to learn democrats are Americans too. Well, if you meant not "real Americans", well, then you might have a point, however. I know those idiots well.

A tax on one is a tax on all, you don't make over 250k? Don't matter look at the bigger picture.

More taxes on the 250k+ bracket takes more money out of the real economy and throws it into the wasteland that is the government treasury. There it is spent on adult babies and other equally worthy endeavours.

The government is clearly trying to incite class warfare and pit the rich against the poor and vice versa.

The real crooks are not the rich people (with some exceptions of course), but the government.

So much $$ was taken out of the economy after the increases in 1993 for those at the top, oh wait....

It should be noted that $250k to the .01% means nothing, yet means a lot of something to the bottom .01%. That is the basic premise behind progressive income taxes. So, no, a tax on one is not a tax on all.

You don't get it. An extra dollar in the hands of a private person will do more to help the poor (working poor i may add, maybe not welfare folk), than an extra dollar in the hands of government taken from the rich.

And look how our economy is fairing? Are you trying to make my point for me?

The economy has been stagnating for decades now because of the central economic planning from Washington and extremely excessive taxation.

Yup, and I am sure that many voters remember that.
