They didnt leave when the rate was 39% they didn't leave when the rate was 50% under Reagan and they didn't leave when the rate was 91% under Ike. The people predicting a mass move out of the country by the waelthy are the same tea party types that promised to leave if Obama got reelected....none of them are packing their bags either ! I have never seen so many people so obsessed with a 4% tax hike on incomes over 250k when 99 percent of them will not earn 250k in 4 years.
Personally I don't care if they leave the rate at 35% as long as they treat capital gains as ordinary income, and make it subject to payroll taxes.

So we should make it 100%?
That's just silly.

39-39.5% would be fine...as it was under the prosperous years of the Clinton administration. That would STILL be lower than it was under most of Reagan's 8 years.

Rush Limbaugh said he would leave.

Hilarious.
Yep, there have been some real knee slappers today. Some of my favorites are:

"them being unable to post without mentoioning me"

"To mention my name is totally stupid"

"A total waste of space he takes up. Not his business who likes who unlss he's jealous.He is an instigator."

"Wold you tell me why you do personaql assaulting to posters?"

I hope Obamacare opens some of the state mental facilities back up because I think we have let too many of them out. The state could save money by letting her and willard share a room.

Unfortunately, OA, you're probably right...about some of them, anyway. Although, my News Headlines are saying that more and more of the 1%ers, are wanting their Tax Rate increased.

With all of these "followers", he must have much charismatic authority.
I seriously doubt that anything walking upright on two legs is following him anywhere.

Old Rush said, he would leave if health care reform passes he would go to Costa Rica..........which already has Universal Health Care).
And his followers still listen to him.

So, Reagan only signed "good bills," but the Democrats passed tax increases without Reagan's signature? Thanks for the history "lesson."

History lesson:

"Let us begin where storm clouds loom darkest — right here in washington, D.C. This week I will send you our detailed proposals; tonight, let us speak of our responsibility to redefine government's role: Not to control, not to demand or command, not to contain us; but to help in times of need, and above all, to create a ladder of opportunity to full employment so that all Americans can climb toward economic power and justice on their own.

But we cannot win the race to the future shackled to a system that can't even pass a federal budget. We cannot win that race held back by horse-and-buggy programs that waste tax dollars and squander human potential. We cannot win that race if we're swamped in a sea of red ink.

Now, Mr. Speaker, you know, I know, and the American people know the federal budget system is broken. It doesn't work. Before we leave this city, let's you and I work together to fix it.(Applause.) And then we can finally given the American people a balanced budget.(Applause.)"

Balanced budget. Interesting concept. It was forced down Clinton's throat by a republican congress.

However, your side has won. No one cares about balancing anything anymore. All they care about is what they can get from the government.

Hope it works.

How do you dream this stuff up that has not even a nodding acquantance with the TRUTH? Seriously, where do you come up with this far-fetched junk?
Is this what Fox is telling People, or do you just imagine it?

It WILL work....for the marxists and their deceived, neo-stupid followers! The honest question here would be: Why would anyone of even "basic" human intelligence surmize that Cigar Bill "wouldn't" whole-heartedly descend to the same destructive aspirations of his leader? After all, cigar Bill has more than publicly affirmed his support for Odrama's policies while on the stump, before the media, and before every think-tank convening with the necessary stomach to allow him into the room!
