The one thing Obama has really let us down on is not taking harder after the rich who continue to rob us blind and steal our country. He promised higher taxes and more regulation on the rich and has yet to deliver on either. Instead the rich are continuing right on with their robbery and theft from the working people just like they did under the Republicans.
How long are we going to put up with this crap? Until we all live under bridges while the rich we serve all live in Buckhead mansions? When are we going to stand up and say enough is enough and DEMAND the government go after the rich and rob them for a change?

The rich can either retire or leave the country.

I would prefer the latter. Let them go to Canada or Europe and see how long those folks put up with their criminality.

You are such a ...... KevK. The government is a big business and our elected politicians are rich. Why are you so mad at regular businesses?

How long do you think the US could go without any rich folks? Kind of tough to tax earnings that don't exist.

The big problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

The rich didn't give me squat. The stockholders of the company I work for (and I am one too) gave me a job. And not because they wanted to be nice to me but because they had work that needs to be done and they did not wish to perform the work themselves. So they hired me to do it for them. And if a day comes that they do not need me to do what I do, they will eliminate my job and me. Nothing personal- just business. So I do not feel that the rich like me or anything. They don't. And that goes both ways.

Or go to Asian countries where they're permitted to make billions with little interference.

If the rich were not stealing up all blind, we would all be making more and living better and paying more in taxes. I would rather see 1000 millionaires than one billionaire! Tax the rich!
