Oh please...the "rich" (top 10% of earners) pay over 70% of taxes. Is that NOT a fair share?

How about the 50% that don't pay ANY taxes?

Exactly, which means obama and the dems are the biggest hypocrites alive. They demonize and demagogue the "rich" and then wonder why people are not throwing money at their campaign.

Working hard for it is more honourable than being the stay at home wife of the one who does work hard and spending all your freetime posting on internet bulletin boards trashing anything liberal.

The majority of the public can work as hard as they want and they will never be wealthy, in fact the system is designed to make them fail.

Your nonsense notion that hard work brings wealth is very funny. I wonder is nurses work hard, or truckers, or marines or landscapers. No, in your world it seems only criminal bankers and drug addict radio announcers who play golf most of the time are hard workers.

Obama is a rich 1%er and wants his followers to believe is not just like them.

The fact is he is worse then most rich people.

Most rich people earned it through being successful at something.

Obama became a millionaire by scamming people into buying books and into his lying stories.




Obama does not pay his fair share. He is a millionaire and did not pay 30% like he said all millionaires should be paying.
