It's called greed because you waste most of your money. We want to create a "nanny state" where people like you are taken care of from cradle to the grave. It's a shame how you waste your money. Look at Government not a penny is wasted. Every dime is spent to help you. The government is looking out for you 24/7, so please don't resent paying more taxes, investing your tax money with the government, is a good investment. It would be different if the government wasted any of your tax money.

YOU ARE NOT STRETCHING IT TOO MUCH. OBAMA WANTS MOST OF US DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT FOR ALL OUR NEEDS. EVERYONE GETS THE SAME NO ADVANTAGE FOR THE AGRESSIVE GO-GETTER. THEN OUR VOTES THE LIBERALS CAN DEPEND ON BECAUSE CHRISTMAS COMES EVERY DAY, I.E., AS LONG AS WE ARE NOT BANKRUPT.

But we can never go bankrupt as long as the ability to take more money away from people who have it is intact (hello higher tax rates). Obama has actually mentioned he favored a 100% tax rate for the richest of the rich.

No matter where you fall on the income scale, a president in favor of taking ALL YOUR MONEY over a certain amount is scary. That is a slippery slope, the end of which results in Communism.

I get your drift. But the Government could take every dime the billionaires have and we still will be another Greese before His next term ends unless we get a grip on excess spending. More taxes will not solve our problems the radicals would spend it as fast as it the treasure Dept.

You people will find out there is more to this election than Kentucky and Floyd County. With all the problems Obama has Romney should be 15% ahead. I don't think people want a morman as president. The Repuclicans messed up not nominating Texas Governor Perry. He was the only man that could have won.

There is no way Romney will become President...It's not like Obama is winning..but Romney is a fool. He does not have the capacity nor the ability to become President. He detests every one of you that love him so much! He wants to raise your taxes and lower his. He wants to lay off teachers, firepeople, police, mental health workers. Even though his own father was on welfare for a while, he doesn't want a safety net for our country any longer. He thinks all of you on here have way too much money yet he doesn't have enough. The elevator for his car needs repaired after all! You are below him people! He could care less about your coal jobs or any jobs. As a business man, his goals are to create businesses that make money with the fewest workers he can hire...working those few workers the most hours at the least pay he can get away with. And with people who think like you do, I'm sure minimum wage will be fine with you. You can scream all you want about the rich paying enough money in taxes already, you better do more research. If Mitt and his cronies paid taxes on all their hidden money and the loopholes were closed, the debt would decrease. Trickle down hasn't worked in 20 years, why would you think it would now???? Obama may stetch the truth and promise more than he can actually do, but Mitt is the one that lies constantly. The fact checkers (that obviously you don't read) can't keep up with the lies. They found 55 lies in one speech! Another thing, turn off Fox News. Did you know that even the right wing republicans hate Fox news. It is not news but actually its employees are also working on the romney campaign. All Americans deserve equal health care. Not just the rich. Not just the ones who can afford insurance. With your attitudes, it won't be long we will be selling your kids to the rich for the human organs that will keep their kids alive! Health care and Medicare is an entitlement for ALL AMERICANS, RICH AND POOR!

www.youtube.com "why the blacks have no honor Manning" then "the black race has a problem manning" This great American is unfraid and says what we all know is true but we are too chicken to say it. The poor blacks can't and never could run a popcorn stand. They have run into the hole every university they were president and nearly brankrupted any city they are or were mayor. You may not like what Manning says but you can't prove him wrong. Listen to him and learn. Honorable James Manning Black Pastor.

Obama called on the MOST POPULAR DEMOCRAT to give the main speech at the Convention. That would be BILL CLINTON and that would be A DISBARRED LAWYER, who was DISBARRED FOR LYING UNDER OATH. Having got caught lying under oath, how can anyone believe anything he says? But Hussein, a college law teacher, saw no problem letting a disbarred lawyer do the honors. Hillary sure as hell can't believe anything Bill says.(By the way, Monica has a new book and it reveals Bill's "kinky sex" stunts. Speaking of Monica, she was 21 when the POTUS engaged in a sex act with his intern in the Oral, I mean, Oval Office. Had it been Chelcia, same age, and the President of her college, NOW and every Democrat in the world would have screamed for his death.)That bunch has no principles! Vote for them, America, at your own peril.

President Clinton's license was suspended for 5 years and that period of time is over. This Fox News crap is way off base! Do you think he is the only President that had sex with someone other than his wife....JF Kennedy??? FDR had his mistress reside in the white house with him and his wife. You know that was Hillary's business not mine not yours. People love Clinton, doesn't matter whether any of you hill people do!

What would the fair tax rate be for the rich, 50%, 60% 70%? The top 10% already pay 70% of all taxes paid to support our great country. Abe Lincoln said you can never build up the little (middle class) man by tearing down the big man. Without the wealthy class creating jobs and paying taxes all would starve to death. There would be no safety net for the very needy. Obama wants to fool the middle class into voting for him by his class warfare talk.

Millionaires currently pay an average of 25% in taxes. Romney's 2011 income tax shows he paid 14.2%; that's after he amended his return lowering what he paid to the Mormon Church so he could make it appear he has paid at least 14%. However, as soon as the election is over, win or lose, he will again amend his 2011 tax reform and claim the whole deduction for his church and get his money back. This man knows how to avoid paying taxes, he has made a living at it.

If you're okay with someone who made $13.7 million last year paying taxes at a rate of 14.1%, lower than most middle class Americans, then you're part of the problem.--

Trickle down politics does not work. If it did, where are the jobs???? Tax loopholes for the rich have been effect for 12+ years. You see business owners want to make money not give money away to their employees....so they outsource the jobs, force a small amount of workers to work long hours, few benefits, low pay...why didn't you hear Romney brag about purchasing a factory in China where there was slave labor yet had to build a fence to keep others from wanting to work there! If you like trickle down so much, go to China!

Hell yes, the rich should pay, oh, how about 92% of their income in taxes. Let's be fair here. And, while we are being fair how about issuing store cards for everyone with the rich having a gold colored card. Every time anyone purchases anything they have to have a card, plus cash. If you have a poor card, you pay 21 cents for an item; if you have a middle card, you pay 33 cents for the same item, but--and here is where fairness kicks in--if you have the GOLD COLORED CARD, the same item costs you $1.00! Talk about fairness. Stupid idea, you think? I agree, but it makes the same sense as having different tax rates. If everyone paid the same rate, the rich would still pay lots more taxes. Why? Because they have more to tax.
