I wanted Kucinich, but Obama is a hell of a lot better than McCain/Palin - wouldn't you agree?

He can't even find a nomineee that is rich that has paid their taxes as is;much less think about raising their taxes. If the middle class creates all the jobs they sure are layiong off alot of their fellow middle class friends. I say lets limit their salaries in that case and tax them more.

Take back what the rich stole from the middle-class.

I never hear a conservative object to the forced income transfer from the workers that create the wealth to the capatialists that own it. Always OK to concentrate wealth but never OK to distribute it. Talk about self serving.

They don't pay very well.



If you totally eliminated poverty, there'd be a lot of people out of work.

I will be negatively affected by such changes - but I feel it is the right thing for the country to do...

Those that feel strongly against this should move elsewhere.


Seems to be 'class' envy.

I think Kucinich would be good to tickle your balls on a Saturday night if there were absolutley not a living woman left on the planet. Otherwise he is pretty much useless.

I think we should drop all the poor people on China, castrate all the rich people and let me hand pick my own harem of 150 on a purely rotating basis. Not within the 150 outside the 150, just to be clear.

If that plan works out you might want to be my friend. I don't want any titles or nothin I just want to be acknowledged as the Harem guy, livin in a van down by the river, whatever. Till then I guess I'll just stay happily married and vote against democrats, always.

A noble goal to be assured...yet no more noble that Kucinich for President. Think about it.

To me everyone should pay taxes period, not just some.
The close to 50% that don't are living/ benefitting off the labor of others.
