Said the esteemed communist Keith Ellison. This is actually what all liberals believe.

“The bottom line is we’re not broke, there’s plenty of money, it’s just the government doesn’t have it,” said Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), “The government has a right, the government and the people of the United States have a right to run the programs of the United States. Health, welfare, housing – all these things.”
According to Representative Ellison, the government is not in danger of going broke; because great innovative figures such as himself can re-appropriate a 100 year old idea in an effort to take more of your money. Try to wrap your brain around this: We have an elected representative explaining that government has the “right” to any personal wealth in this nation for the sake of running programs not enumerated in any foundational document of the United States. "

It's true. The money is definitely there, it just needs to be taxed (again). I'd rather the IRS tax all Wall St. stock turnover like it used to do from the early 1910s to the 1960s and what the UK currently does now (although their tax is miniscule)/ If we even taxed ours at 1%, the Treasury would rake in trillions of dollars a year in revenue. I'd give the middle class and those earning less than a million dollars a year a tax cut down to 0% and still have a balanced federal budget. No cuts to anything needed

Sorry, but I am a "Liberal" and I don't think that at all.

You guys really need to stop stereotyping and wouldn't sound so foolish when you speak.

How would they have a tax cut down to 0% if their stock turnovers were taxed? Your math is flawed. Secondly, why should the entire burden of funding our government fall to so few? This is completely contradictory to what the bipartisan debt commission found and recommended just before Mr. Obama forgot he ever created it.

They some how believe that those who pay most of the taxes will continue to work hard to do the same if the risk /reward changes. They have learned nothing form this recession even tho most are people who want to take little risk and want assured income.
