The sixth reason is that any additional taxes raised will be spent and not used as promised by the Democrats to "reduce the deficit". What a joke. Both parties are addicted to spending which will continue out of control until we go over the fiscal cliff which I believe we already have.

Wake up, America! Obama thrives on "ugly" treatment of ALL taxpayers.

It´s a fine mess he´s got us into, isn´t it? From top to bottom....a fine mess.

There must be something wrong with the brains of those who are obsessed with taking someone else´s property away from them to use for private, personal goals. I am not at all sure this is a normal aspiration, not when it occupies the thoughts and plans of a person like Barack Obama. Far from being rich myself, I cannot imagine plotting and scheming and working all my life to take money away from people I do not know in order to toss it into the maw of the Federal government. What gives with people who devote themselves to such a task? What are their real motives? Don´t they have something better to do with their time?

Beats me, I can´t figure it out. Malicious envy and delusions of grandeur are as close as I can come to a theory of why Leftists have such itchy fingers and cannot seem to rest unless they are picking the pockets of people they think have too much money. I don´t buy the "we are just trying to help" and "it is all about fairness" raps. I am surprised anyone does. Whatever is going on, disinterested, pure, altruistic devotion to noble ideals is certainly not the whole or even a major part of the story There is something really, really nasty in these malicious attacks upon private property.

"...asks more of the wealthiest Americans,".

They never "ask" for more. They put a gun to your head and take it.

Only a complete a-- would believe that Husseinwould tax his personal benefactors!

Too bad Moochelle didn´t use the opportunity of her surprise appearance at the Academy Awards last night to harangue those in attendance (1%´ers for sure) TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE
I´m sure her appearance would have been less well received had she done that.

Unfortunately - #4 - we have the last century as a tombstone-testimony to the tendency of liberals wanting to ´redistribute the wealth´, which normally translates out to ´make everyone equally destitute´.

When Obama starts waxing poetic about the atrocity of women having 8 kids on welfare bucks - maybe mainstream America will listen without flipping him off.

Maybe if we´re even luckier - he´ll not spend his last years in office flipping *us* off...but don´t hold your breath. If you´re white and work - you owe him. (void where the name ´Kerry´ - richest politician in DC - is invoked...).

So when is a tax too much?

Don´t think this waste of flesh will stop with the rich, he will not be happy until he has 100% of everyones money!

If the motives of the left were good, pure and honest, those same traits would shine through in their own lives and speech and personal habits.

But they never miss a chance to lie and dodge and scold those who inquire and proclaim evil motives for those who dare to ask questions.

The success rate of their ´programs´ is dismal yet fabulously expensive.

The money disappears every time.

The poor stay poor.

The pols get rich.

And yet.... Libertarians and Capitalists are the BAD GUYS ?

A little more and a little more and a little more and a little more....

Like Johnny Rocco in Key Largo, Obama wants only one thing ... more.

#8 is spot on... but left out a few crucial words: ´´make everyone equally destitute´´ except for the liberals themselves.

Look, this is all theater of the absurd. Anybody really think that Zero is going to take Speilberg´s money, Buffet´s, Soro´s, Oprah´s, Jarrett´s, Jay-Z´s, Beyonces´s, Hank´s, or any other ultra-rich supporter? Nope. Their money is safe in trusts, foundations, and every other legal tax construct available to them.

The budget is not being cut at all. These are increases that the socialists want.
