If Democrats want to tax the rich, then why haven't they introduced...

[jeeper_peeper321]

...legislation to tax the rich ? .

Democrats keep saying the rich, millionaires and billionaires are not paying their fare share.

But they have never tried to increase their tax rates.

When ever they try, they always seem to wanna go down to middle class making $250,000 and increase their tax's too.

But you never hear them say, lets make the middle class pay thieir fair share, they only talk about the rich

Why is that ?

you cant be serious....do you even watch the news....at all?.....ever hear about the debate to end Bush tax cuts for the rich ....or close tax loop holes for the rich....or....never mind.....go back to your cave

 

[Larry]

in a word republicans

 

[Paul Jackson]

The median household income is about $50k. If you make $250k a year you make 5 times that. That's rich.

[Private Prinny]

You mean the democrats who aren't in congress?
Pretty much because they're not in congress.

 

[O-BOMB-A]

That's just their rhetoric to buy votes from ignorant adolescents... in reality they extend tax cuts.

I am guessing here but the rich might be a constant topic because of the loopholes they receive that you and me might not have access too. We need to stick together and end these loopholes. Make everything fair to everyone.

 

[lockesmith]

from my vantage point of 25,000.00, 250,00.00 is rich.

I guess you've been living in a cave for the past 3 years. The constitution actually says that ALL LEGISLATION that involves revenue MUST be initiated in the lower house and Boehner and the tea bagger gang are not about to do that. The Senate cannot initiate legislation on matters of revenue

 

[Austerity for Liberals]

Liberals are very deceptive people.

 

[Krista]

We want to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire on time, as they were intended to do all along. That doesn't require legislation.

That's the craziest thing I've every heard. The proposed bill for increasing taxes on the rich was just slammed by Boehner into the trash can...

Abiding economic result is two parties heartily investigating how best to care for one another.

WIN/WIN is the only negotiation mission with abiding result -- and Boehner with his “I got 98% of what I wantedâ€￾ reveals a lack of education, experience, social viability, and wisdom.

Does US culture at all require any wisdom injected into its practices? Is fighting, re-fighting, and again-fighting the US pastime -- for all time?

Does anyone in the US know anything at all about negotiation? Does anybody in the US not rationalize that as neighbors and counterparts are downtrodden with oppressive dictate, that they will again rise against you in hunger or retribution? That the fight is NOT finally won when you just take -- and give nothing? And for the “Christiansâ€￾ among, does Biblical countenance of giving (anything at all over 2%) mean nothing? There’s no benefit in compromise whatsoever?

Does keeping your neighbors - or customers, or staff, or whomever among (even overseas allies) - strong, healthy, and viable offer nothing? How about even looking out over your borders -- you seek countrymen subjugated and weakened emotionally by your own hand (and mentally or even physically weakened) to comprise your home team?

Is this Boehner dude the sage sought for viable leadership in economic proliferation?

“Boehner: ‘I got 98 percent of what I wanted’â€￾
