I do not value a waitress less than the brain surgeon.
Aha. Another poster bamboozled by cleavage.

Just a little bit more... and that will do it.... and now just a little bit more and that will help.... we just need a little bit more, and that should work.... it never ends.

Anyone who thinks that the top 1% of taxpayers don't pay enough taxes obviously flunked 10th grade economics, and can't comprehend how ignorant Democrats are and especially this clueless President about the relationship between tax rates and income generated from tax increases, which NEVER goes up after tax hikes.

This President despises these collapsing gas prices since it infringes even more on the alternative energy industry's ability to function without subsidies, and mandating that companies such as GM produce little bitty Obamamobiles (make way for the guaranteed to fail $30,000+ Chevy Bolt in 2017) which we'll never buy rebate or no rebate.

This rotten economy which is all his and is essentially comatose except for the auto industry will be his party's legacy as will be Obamacare, which the dummies known as Democrats will have to defend for years during election season even as it continues to suffocate our economy, and middle class focused retailers including Target, WalMart, McDonalds, Best Buy & others continue to deal with dismal sales numbers thanks to his policies.

That's what Obama said the last time he raised taxes.... just a little more ... and you thought it would be a utopia. Surprise here we are again... just a little bit more.

Obama just dusted off his 2011 speech, nothing new.

Yeah, well, it is a very good thing that not everyone thinks like you do. Otherwise, we would have a dramatic shortage of brain surgeons and an overwhelming surplus of waitresses.

Economics. Look it up. It is very useful.

The state of the union is meant to rally his useful idiots. Nothing more.

Obama sees the 1% and Republicans as more of an enemy than he does with "Islamic Terrorist".

Yea.. just a little more and you'll live in utopia. What happened the last time? Utopia didn't materialize? It's all so damn predictable.

Obama's got his old speech dusted off and practicing. And like good useful idiots, you'll buy try to help him rob the American people just like you did the last time.

Just a little bit more.
