President's SOTU address tonight (companies, versus, government, program)

[Fiddlehead]

I only listened to part of it, but I do like the idea of taxing American companies that outsource jobs. Screw them.

51% of americans pay ZERO income tax.. Under what educational system did you learn that 15% tax rate is less than zero?

And how does someones net worth enter into the equation? What part of the tax code deals with that? A millionaire is NET worth, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with tax rates and ones income.

LOL...IT IS!!! While Mitt pays less than 15% simply because he's wealthy. That's wrong and you're party has continually defended it..

Don't forget you're comaparing apples and oranges. Capital gains tax versus ordinary income tax. That's what is always left out of these discussions. Obama is the worst offender at this.

More bull **** because if a company moves to Mexico, under what section of the US tax code applies to companies not under the US jurisdiction? How do you tax them more if they arent here?

Oh yeah, lets add in the elderly, unemployed and physically unable to work...Right, makes sense. NOT. Millionaires pay a lower rate than working middle class families...That's it and that's wrong. You can play word games all day long but that fact wont change.
