I have to applaud Obama on this one for putting his foot down against the GOP thugs to end the horrific Bush tax cuts to the rich, which was one of the main reasons that Bush and the GOP led the nation into disaster.
Let's hope he stays strong and doesn't give an inch to the GOP goons
"President Obama has been clear about his position and it has not changed," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters traveling with Obama to California. "We should not extend and he will not extend the ... Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest two percent of the American people."

Coming from Obama that's "rich". His net worth in 2008 was $7 million. In 2012 his net worth reached almost $12 million. He accumulated almost $5 million while in office. Do you think his net worth grew that much by taking advantage of the tax cuts and investment regulations that favor the rich???
Many of them are low information voters. That's the purpose of Faux News...to keep them that way. The right wing base has actually been brainwashed as people such as bonehead Boehner insist upon on referring to the top 1% as "The Job' Creators". What a sad joke! This is the stuff an Orwell novel is made of. This is the party that would make a maniac such as Ayn Rand proud.
Apparently you have not a clue what Ingsoc stands for.
I cannot believe that Republicans have absolutely screwed 99% of Americans for the past 10 years and their working class base is perfectly okay with it.
At what point are people responsible for themselves as opposed to having to rely on the government? How have the Republicans done what you have claimed?

Of the top 20 richest, the top 3 are democrats, and 60% are democrats.
Funny enough,

Analyzing the data takes us even further. Not only are there more Democrats in the Top 20 list, but those Democrats are a lot more stingy with their money when it comes to campaign contributions. Republicans coughed up $5.2 million while Democrats squirted out only $2.1 Million. These statistics would indicate that the more you have, the less you give.
I guess threatening to take more of your money in taxes may be one way to force them to donate more to get the tax cuts extended.
The out of control spending paired with the Federal Reserves inflation of the money supply. Revenue isn't the problem.
Two, two, two memes in one!
Yes, the Fed increased the money supply to stave off a depression. So? Interest rates are at record lows, there is no appreciable inflation and the dollar is strong.
"Out of control spending"
This is federal Only Spending:
Here, from FRED, is the rate of change of real government spending per capita (federal, state, and local):
I have always applauded President Obama, because he stands up for what is right for the American people, regardless of the popular sentiments. As a nation we are very ignorant about the sources of our problems and tend to respond to paid advertising -- paid for by people that do not have OUR interests on their list of concerns.
