Yep, Obama could double your income tax and he probably still could not
make a balanced budget. Spend crazy madnes in DC.
Sadly that is true. The deficit is 1.4 trillion and we only collect
1.25 trillion in income taxes now. The idea that the top 1% of the tax
payers could make up this short fall is ludicrous
I've never heard anybody say that. Except you did right there.
Why say silly stuff?

Jim - What's going on here?

Either way, remember, the top one percent takes whatever it pays, back
out of "our" asses... We pay 100% of the taxes through inflation..

Ignore any politics and look at the numbers.
That "middle class" bpharic is always whining about?
Doesn't exist.
That vast amount of money the "average" American Joe has invested in
Wall Street that their news media pimps are always talking about?
Doesn't exist.
That deficit that Greg is always whining about?
Guess where that money went?
Forget about the top 1%.
Just the top 400 wealthy people in the U.S. are worth the entire
deficit. Just the top 400. Forbes has that info.
How do you think they accumulated that wealth?
Inflation?
The rich didn't get your money with inflation.
They got it by selling American jobs to foreigners.
That's what's caused the deficit too.
Wealth for the "average" guy comes from work.
Wealth for the wealthy comes from selling out the "average" guy.
They call that their "work."
That's how it works.
And the pols seem happy with that.
Most are pretty wealthy. You can look that up too.
That's how it works.

Jim - Does what goes around really come around?
