You don't see the hypocrisy? For those who complained about people who have their money here & didn't pay up on their taxes.....yet this is ok. Wow, party of personal affect.

So people who do NOT pay their taxes should NOT be punished for it? Is that what you're saying? Yet remember the amount of uproar on this forum when those democrats who didn't pay their taxes were found out? Were you falling in line w/that uproar or were you on the other side, saying "hey, it's ok you didn't pay your taxes. Those taxes never should exist!" Yeah, right.

I didn't have a problem per se with them not paying their taxes, but I had a big problem with the special treatment they got, and their hypocrisy since they're the ones who want to tax everyone so much.

Now that right there is the definition of Hypocrisy! If you are a Democrat, your whole world revolves around taking as much money from everyone else that you possibly can, yet you dont pay your own!

This could actually work against Obama, People will not just roll over and give away that much money to a wasteful corrupt government, they will do whatever necessary to keep THEIR money, which means investing and operating in other countries that actually welcome them and their money. Then Obama will have to squeeze alot more blood out of everyone else to make up for it.

All kidding aside, those that stand to profit in the U.S. should at least be grateful to share the burden among hard times within the system in which they derived the wealth from.
I would have to agree on this.
