Growth is the only possible way to increase revenue.Whatever amount of tax rate you set would not possibly raise the dollars needed.

Obama does not understand revenue growth, and frankly does not care. Raising taxes on "the rich" is his way of reducing the wealth of the successful to please his equally delusional followers. It´s all part of his social justice, environmental justice, racial justice, health care and racialjustice philosophy. Justice is not blind with Obama.

Ryan may as well explain the theory of relativity to a cat.

Imagine if all Republican officials repeated that simple but powerful message every chance they got.

Then we the people need to take it to the other people who voted for this dreadful man. Explain it to them over the lunch table at work, over drinks after work, at your son´s soccer game, after church over donuts and coffee, to the guy sitting next to you on your next flight, you get the drift. Be nice, be clear and don´t back up. Leave them thinking about what you said, not you seething about what they said.

#3 you mean a "cool" cat?

They should have been saying this during the election. obama would not have won.

Even a 100% tax on incomes $250,000 and higher would not fully fund 0bama´s handout programs. He´s completely out of his mind.

I´m going to imitate Ryan and be constructive about Obama until he starts up with the babykilling again. I mean, if Ryan can, I can. I will pray for him to do a good job, and everything. Until next time he supports PP. May be a week, may be two. Whatever it is. If Ryan can, I can.

Ryan is going to have to convert a bunch of not too economically interested republicans to hold the line.

The won doesn´t care as long as it´s "fair"...

Get rid of half the government employees. Or more.

Duh.

But Obama doesn´t want growth. He wants to stunt our economy and destroy as many of the smaller businesses as he can. His intention is to create his great toralitarian state where all business is conducted by a few elite whom he controls and the rest of us are living on limited income, government jobs or government checks. How else can you redistribute the wealth so you have only a 1/2% beholden to the government and 99.5% of the rest of us barely scraping by and living check to check.

Stop!

We know the tax rate increase won´t work but it´s the solution the Dems have said will balance the budget.

So, let´s give it to them, and watch it fail.
Stop giving the Dems a life raft.

Yeah...why don´t we check in with George HW Bush on how well it works for republicans when they cave to dhimms demands for higher taxes.

Let the dhimms push through any tax they can, while we throw up as many obstructions as we can. There will come a time when we can say "see, I told you so" and it will carry weight.

THe Republican ought to buy air time on tv . Make a presentation with charts...keep it as simple as they can to show HOW THINGS WORK. Get time on all the stations. Saturate the airwaves with the message. We are truly doomed if they can´t get this across....support Ryan and fiscal sanity as if our lives depend on it because they do! Before big college football games , basketball games, award shows, crap tv.....the people must be exposed to what is truly coming. You cannot tax your way into prosperity.

3, most cats would understand that explanation far better than The Won would understand economic growth.

The problem is, The Won´s world-view is based on a zero-sum game. There is a pie and it is only so big. What one person or group gets, the others don´t. The idea of voting for revenge and the idea of redistribution of wealth both are posited on zero-sum.

He is a bear of small brain, really.

Commienity Organizers only know how to strong-arm what they want (money, resources, goods, services) from others, they haven´t got the slightest clue how to create anything that can generate real revenue.
