MEANING: Don't work hard and earn above the norm because the "better" administration will make others will flip the bill for you.
The PRIME reason why I'm voting for McCain.
I really have a tough time putting in a 12 hour day, every day, so I could pay an increased tax for some guy's health plan who comes home from his 4 hour day and spends the balance of it in front of the TV.
You are just "selfish" Mike. At least that's what Obama says. This from a response to McCain/Palin making fun of his "spread the wealth" comment:
“John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic,” Obama continued. “You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.”
The reason it's viewed as selfishness; All that is being proposed is that the amount of taxible income you make over $250K to be taxed at a rate 3% higher than it is now. And the money isn't 'earmarked' for the bros in the hood. It's to get our country back on track, paying down the national debt and stimulating the economy, by helping with energy independance and infrastructure projects. For those that are so thick headed that they are freakin' blind, deaf and dumb, that means stuff like windmills, solar farms and roads. If you do not make $250K a year or more you are barking for nothing...
why is it so hard to understand that $250,000 or $150,000 or whatever it is going to be is not just for persons...its fopr small business`s too, and when they get an increase in their tax bills and if they are not very profitable, they can do only two things... a) swallow it , and possibly go under = lots of layoffs b) charge more, meaning the customer pays for it...that is YOU the consumer...meaning ,everybody pays for it...thats not hitting the rich!
I guess people that are or have been in bus. will understand this simple logic.
