Since all the people who support and vote for Obama are so eager to pay more taxes, then why not just tax THEM as opposed to singling out the wealthy unfairly?

In fact.....just put a large tax on all Obama bumper stickers, T-shirts, and other Obama paraphernalia.

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!

Agreed. They are welcome to pay 100% of their salary in taxes.

Obama's proposed raise in taxes on the wealthy would net $86 Billion per year.

$86 Billion would run the US Government for a total of 8 days.

Some morons actually think it would lower the deficit...LOL @ the SHALLOW-MINDED!

A 90% tax on government pension.

Exlude police, fire and military, but adjust back their pensions from the highest three year double-time retirement padding. Base it on their real salary through the job, not the bloated one the unions got through contracts against the interest of the taxpayer.

Wouldn't matter!

What I propose is FORCING anyone who voted for Obama or supported his Presidency in any way pay a penalty tax, similar to the one he's imposed on the American public for Obamacare.

I don't see what problem any Obama supporter would/should have with this idea!!!

I mean....you DID want to see taxes raised and you did want to see the deficit reduced...RIGHT?

So put your money where your mouths are OBAMATRONS!
