The wealthy and corporations have waged war on the rest of America. Here is a video of Sen Sanders explaining the Buffett Rule and
why we need it.

Guess what happened in Maryland when it instituted a millionaires tax?

One third of the states' millionaires left the state.

It's not good policy, no matter who propses it.

Oh....and guess what happened with the MD tax? It was repealed after the state suffered a net decrease in tax revenue from the upper echelons.

Yes, that's how ignorant Democrats are. You should re-analyze your allegiance to these fools sooner rather than later.

So we can collect a paltry $3B annually and spend it in less than 24 hours? Is that what passes for good fiscal policy in liberal circles these days?

That's pretty simplistic.

Good...then let's have no such thing as taxes. Everything will find some way to pay for itself eventually.

How do you expect to balance the budget in your little world?

Not only should we set the 30% flat tax for those making 1 Million+, but we also need to make drastic cuts to military spending and foreign aide (Israel!).

The only nation building we need to be funding right now is nation building right here in the US.

So the military is the only place you'd demand spending cuts? A tax on millionaires is your only solutions to raising revenue? I see no reason to debate this idea any further if you're not willing to accept that more than $60 Trillion in unfunded mandates called social entitlements are sitting at your doorstep.
