How about the Oprah tax?
Let's take half of her billion dollar stash!
Take half of Bill Gates' 50 billion dollar stash!
Take half of Ted Turner's 3 billion dollar stash!
Take half of all pro athletes salaries, half of all Hollywood stars income.
Take half of jessie jackson's millions.
Take half of all the liberals' super rich wealth and leave the rest of us alone!

Stupid mouth breathing Liberals, do the math, this won’t help pay for anything, how about we cut off funding to illegal alien parasites?

Tax the wealthy and they’ll just hide their money off shore and use the tax loopholes, the middle class will be stuck with the bill as usual. This moronic neo-Marxist policy is only going to REDUCE tax revenue.

That's not how liberals work. They would tax Bill Gates for sure, but they won't tax much from the rest.(Turner would be taxes a bit.)

The way the liberal mind works is they have to tax (slow down) the people who succeed and reward the people who do not succeed or fail.

At the same time, they say the people who did not succeed are victims of the people who did succeed. They do this so they have a way to attack the people who succeed and to demonize them. This is why liberals "hate" CEOs.

The American Dream is such that people want to come here to succeed, but as we can see, liberalism is the opposite of the American Dream.

Liberalism leads to dependency, a hatred for those that succeed, and the imposition on people that success is evil.

This is why the liberals have kept the inner cities so poor all these DECADES. They basically treat the people in the inner cities as slaves.

And it's why the Liberals are spending trillions of dollars and forcing more debt on us WHILE, AT THE SAME TIME, increasing taxes and regulations that will slow down the economy and prevent a recovery (meaning success.)

What the liberals did to the inner cities is what they are trying to do to the whole country.

We need to get rid of these liberals and find Conservatives.

That's right and the real reason the liberals are doing this is to eradicate the middle class. The middle class cannot exist very well under all of this liberalism.

High taxes and lower pay push people down. It's happening now as companies have started to plan for all of this liberalism so they can survive.

Liberalism kills the American Dream. We were duped and too many people voted for these jerks.

I did see an Obummer bumper sticker last week and a lot fewer Obama stickers so maybe people are waking up to the mistake.

That can't be gauranteed. But you be sure that anyone who is considered poor has achieved a damn thing. I worked 2 jobs going through school. It was hard but I made it without any hand outs. Now my income is considered rich under dumb-ass obammy's plans. What a fool this guy is turning out to be.

Liberalism and Socialism are very different you braindead moron. Liberals can and are rich and in some ways the vast majority of the mega rich are liberals. Maybe if you had a more socialist system you would have less liberals becuase you would have less super rich people. Remember entrepeneurs tend to be people who are who are willing to do crazy money making ideas. Your problems with liberalism is inadvertenly linked with the need for a social system. Get with the program idiot person.

It sounds good to tax the millionaires, but a 1 or 2% surcharge for being rich isn't going to cover the trillions this will cost. So it will be necessary to drop that millionaire number to, let's say, the $200K per year rich people. Then on down to only the wealthiest half of the country, those making more than $47K, the median income. And, as I understand it, you will be taxed on any health insurance provided by your employer. The democrats are telling us it's a light at the end of the tunnel and not a train. I hope they are right.

If any of you dumb liberal gun grabbing morons think that this health care crap will be paid for by soaking the rich then I have beach front property in kansas I will sell you. If this crap cap and tax energy bill passes along with this health care crap passes it will be the end of the middle class. If these two pieces of crap passes it will destroy the democrat party and the middle class. The moron liberals are willing to commit sucicide to in order to destroy the middle class and America.

Yea, r-i-g-h-t, the new healthcare bill passed and the rich folks crying in their beer, made the stockmarket jump 256+ points.

They love it, because there is no real healthcare reform, that the middle class will not bear the brunt of.

It's all BS.

With this health plan you can keep seeing your personal physician, unless you are over the age of 66, then your new doctor is named Kervorkian.

Lucky are those who are born with a silver spoon because they are guaranteed health care coverage for the rest of their life.

So who says all men are born equal? Rich parents can afford the best of everything for their babies from cradle to grave including some very generous tax breaks and hedged funds thanks to their Republican buddies who make sure they get all kinds of tax incentives.

Socialized systems have been in place in Europe and the UK for ages and now even the US. We all pay taxes so everyone can get an education, be protected by the police and be able to use public facilities and services.

Unless the population growth is slowed down or reversed, the pressure for universal health care will mount as the majority find it difficult to obtain and pay for medical treatment. The time has come to deal with this problem.

Don't be ridiculous. The dumbassocrats are going to destroy the upper middle class and middle middle classes. You will either be 'monsanto type' rich or you will nothing more than a working class pos. Doctors will work for the government for low wages which will not be much better than a factory's workers take. Lazy uneducated ghetto snipers will sit on their fat asses having babies to the working will spend their lives supporting them.

This is the first time I have ever wished a packed Airforce One would get lost in the rainforest for the next ten years.

Why don't all the low life scum bags who want hand outs move to Europe. I'd be happy to help fund that bill and get rid of the trash once and for all.
