Obama supporters consist of:

Blacks
Illegal Aliens
Single Mothers
Unemployed teens living in their basements

If we tax all those groups at 50%, maybe the treasury will get $100 out of those groups.

Get dat Obama money!

Now this explains the OP. More nonsense. This entire post is nonsense.

There's a lot of information out there that you can do research on to put together a thoughtful thread on why Obama supporters are wrong, bad, the devil, etc.... but instead you resort to the logic of a three year old. We don't need three year olds voting.

By this logic, blacks, Illegal Aliens, Single Mothers, and Unemployed Teens make up the majority of our population(since apparently Obama won). What a crappy country.

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!
Sure, then you can cut all social security, medicare and other benefits to stupid whiny tea party people who think that cutting expenses is the only way to balance a budget.

It's sort of pathetic. A lot of low income people 'old boys' who come on here and whine about how 'big government' is bad yet they depend on the government for their entire existence.

Only tax Obama supporters? How much money do you expect to get from them? They don't pay income taxes. Why do you think Obama is pushing so hard to expand the food stamp program. More freebies, more votes.

I highly endorse this plan.

of course, we have clueless people here who actually want to pay more for an incompetent government that doesn't even address MAJOR fraud going on in this country:

As the court-appointed trustee seeking as much of Ponzi-schemer Bernard Madoff’s ill-gotten gains as possible to pay back his victims, Irving Picard has secured, according to a May New York Times report, $330 million to distribute. During the same time, Picard and his associates have billed the court (in fees that run as much as $850 per hour) $554 million. (The Ponzi scheme “earned” around $65 billion, but much of that consisted of the fantasy “profits” that had so impressed clients to invest with Madoff in the first place.) [New York Times, 5-29-2012]

just one of hundreds of stories out there, as the fraud escalates and the rewards to the fraudsters escalate.


it's just pumping more money into a black hole, where it disappears-and only the elite benefit.

again, what do you think the wars do? hell, now we are actively supporting militant religious zealots in the middle east, and that surely will end well, don't you think? if anybody wants to read an interesting "other take" on what is happening in syria, here it is:

Well I'm not wealthy but I count my blessings each and every day.

It SHOULD be apparent to anyone with half a brain that what needs to happen are spending CUTS. The government is one of the poorest run entities on this planet. This class warfare Obama promotes is nothing more than smoke and mirrors to make the feel good liberals "look" like they are for the poor and middle class, but it is exactly the opposite. It's just a ploy to bloat government even more. I fail to see why liberals can't see the fiscal state of the world and realize that their failed policies is what brought us to where we are.

They already pay more than their fair share. Think.
