It also increases dividends to stockholders. Stockholders are retired folks on fixed incomes who need the dividend checks in many cases. It also allows for expansion and growth, which provides more jobs, which decreases the burden on government.

Yet you are angry at people making millions and billions then support Obama who wanted to raise taxes on people making $200k. Obviously it doesn't matter who you hurt.
Im angry because we all agree to some form of welfare reform to the poor and you guys keep talking about the immoral poor when you should be talking about immoral people being cut from government spending period.

Well the example i gave was the top 10% of the rich make more then half the people in the U.S. They are a small minority. And hurts our economy because they only buy so many goods, mostly they keep most of there money.

The poor are easily hoodwinked into voting against their own interest because they are not financially educated. They also vote against the interest of the middle class. The poor are easily bought with a government check so they are just as bad as big corporations they are just cheaper per vote. Democrats want more poor people dependent on government why? Because they are cheap votes.

AND, people are tired of busting their butts to pay their way too.

Yes so my take is we have a "tax and spend into oblivion in office" and republicans are fighting against it. They are doing their jobs. Can you imagine if Obama got every increase in taxes he wants? We would all be plunged into poverty. When a republican is in office and wants to tax and spend and if Dems fight it I'm all for that too.

Government spends too much and taxes too much yet expects every day hard working Americans to cut back to support them. Democrats are currently using the poor to get more money from the American people and the poor are too dumb to see. Of course they can't. They don't understand money. The poor are also our enemy too, they are just as bought as big government cronies. they also helped to put the current tax and spend loon in office based on an emotion called class warfare.

So the solution is to cut everybody. I agree with your point on democrats but republicans are just as bad with there blind loyalty to morality and the political leaders of that party use it to get you to support the rich and ignore the interests of the middle class. They get you focused on the guy who buys a lottery ticket while on foodstamps so then you can't see them giving money out of your pocket and giving it to the rich. Both parties suck.

Which dead people, the people brought back to life during the election or the people who died.

I agree there is to much government spending for the low taxes we are collecting. My theory its because the rich are really not paying there share. I come to this conclusion
