We already know those who want higher taxes never put their money where their mouths are and cut and extra check to the IRS.

It's only FAIR that ALL those who think it's a great idea to pay higher taxes ought to actually DO IT!
I don't think that will work. After Obama is elected, he would veto this type of legislation. So it is really a moot point.

Yeah, because they didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. Right?

I do pay taxes, and I want to make sure everyone else pays their fair share, especially the wealthiest in our country. I fail to see the issue here.

Some morons actually think it would lower the deficit...LOL @ the SHALLOW-MINDED!
86 Billion is a lot better than ZERO.

Ironically, despite all of your , most Obama supporters who are wealthy have welcomed the (return to the Clinton era rates) slight increase in taxes. Amazingly, wealthy conservatives have poor and middle class conservatives doing their dirty work. YOU PEOPLE are some loyal servants.

What could be MORE FAIR than all those who WANT to see their taxes go up actually have their taxes go up?

It would only be giving you want you wanted!

Of course not. As long as it's someone else paying, they don't care.

And I suppose that you are extremely concerned that 48% of Americans pay no income taxes.
