Buffet: Tax the mega-rich

[mrplunkey]

Wrong answer. I Posted for you before the Facts on SS. SSDI is included in those numbers. And instead of complaining, talk about solutions. You got a better idea that hasn't been tried or researched then speak up. Complaining without having a solution is the mantra of the current House of Representatives, Right Wing Wacko's and FAUX news. Now I can say Plunkster too ??

Yeah, I guess since disability insurance doesn't exist in the private sector, the only answer is to make the government bigger.

I miss the sane Republican party.

The sane Republican party died with Nelson Rockefeller.

And working @ wal-mart isnt living on a fixed wage? 15k a year is peanuts..
Obama Tax cuts for the rich(Forced by the Gop because they held the Unemployed hostage for the rich) costs a lot.. We agree.

lets talk Tax numbers a little.
Using 2008 numbers, the top 1% paid an satitory(not effective which is lower) tax rate of 23.3%. If we bumped that up 4.1% that would be asking them to pay 17.6% (4.1/23.3) more than they are now. The bottom 50% paid an effective tax rate of 2.6%. If we bumped that up 6.5% that would be asking them to pay 250% (6.5/2.6) more than they are now.

And on top of it all the Same GOP that said TAx cuts save the Economy. But are fighting the Payroll tax cut that will help the middle class immensly. Including helping the rich on the 1st 100k of their income.

1. I'm not fighting anything, I haven't voted for a repub or dem for national office since I voted for Bush the Elder....a tax raising president that had the highest approval rating of all time...at the time facing the seven dwarfs included a D list governor named Bill Clinton....

2. I can use the same argument for tax cuts that Keynesian's make for government spending...they just didn't do it enough...

3. I have a Nobel Winning Prize winner to counter your Paul Kruegman but nothing but Keynes has been tried...because it's popular with politicians and "the people"...it has always failed.

This is from the same douche bag who told everyone to vote for Obama.

So that way he can use him to make lots of money. Great guy.
