I do not understand the concept of taken from the rich and giving to the poor at all!! My father has owned his own business here in Louisiana for almost 12 years now. He has always worked his butt off to make something of himself. When I was a child I can remember at one time my father held FOUR JOBS AT ONE TIME (police juror, Sales Rep. for News Paper, Dj on weekend at a radio station, Dj at night at clubs and private party's) to where our family could have what we needed in life. Nothing was ever given to my father! My father worked his butt off for what he has now and he still does. When he actually started getting this business going he bought a cot to work and would not even leave. He did what he had to, he put as many hours that were needed of him until recently about the last two months he retired from his alarm clock. I got into the family business about 5 years and also devote all my time I can to the business. We work and we work our butts off to make this company successful! What gives the government the right to come and take our money that we work so hard for and give it to someone that has not given sweat, blood, tears to anything in their life. Yes, we make over $250,000 a year but that is because we work hard, we give our all to this company and have made it a successful one. My dad busted his butt all his life so he would be abe to give us something in life and we would not have to suffer the way he did growing up and now my husband and I are working our butts off so that we can give our kids a future and they will not have to suffer. But, yet we will have to turn around and pay the governement more money so the can "Share the Wealth!" I just do not understand some peoples way of thinking!! If you want to be weathy then take a chance in life and get out there and doing something with your life. No one owes you anything except your parents, they are the ones that put you here...not the governement! .
I have more I can say but my little girl just woke up! So, I will sign off with this:
PLEASE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND -- THE NO ONE OWES YOU ANY THING , ESPECIALLY THE GOVERNMENT!
Take responsiblity for yourself and stop relying on the government to get you by in life!!
I don't see how a person that makes millions of dollars a year can not feel sorry for those that have hardly anything. There is no reason why there should be homeless persons in this country. there is no reason why everyone should not have an equal opportunity at greatness.

What gives Obama the right to penalize people who are sucessful?Is it really such a great thing to be alienated from the common populace? To make so much money that money and greed of it are the only things one cares about in life? Such a circumstance seems horrible to me.
Report Abuse
Can you give a specific example of this?What gives Obama the right to penalize people who are sucessful?
Well let me hit you with this figure 1% of the population holds more than 40% or more of this nations wealth am i the only one who see a problem with that. is it right that while 1% of the nation is sitting pretty during this quasi depression the other 99% of us are left to struggle and not even barely get by.So it makes sense to raise taxes on the 1% because that's where the money to solve alot of problems can be made from by taxing not by taxing the hell out of a person who make just enough to keep the one bedroom house a family of 4 lives in.
What qualifies one as being successful?
If you make more than 250,000 a year you're successful. But if you decide to go to college, get a degree in education to become a school teacher making $40K p/y, are you less successful than the person who makes 250K+ selling stocks or bad mortgages?
Use your brain.
Please sponsor an American family. Your one dollar a day can help feed an American family of four. For your one dollar you will receive photos of your sponsored family and letters of appreciation in which to monitor your families progress. Please give.
sharing is caring duh.
everyone who has a comment on this subject realizes that the United States DOES NOT HAVE A FLAT TAX. Their are already tax brackets in place. This is nothing new.
Also, I work for a small Business, no "small business" makes 250,000 a year in profit. profit comes after payroll and expenses remember. our small business grosses about 10,000 a year. We employ 10 people. That's a small business.
Last, A point keeps being made about the tax level. That is before you get tax right offs. Which you get for 1,000,000 things. No one actually pays the full tax amount for their business or personal income.
What about all those people who work hard and don't make much money??? Do you think teachers have it easy?? What about the single parents out there working two jobs, and still can't support their family?? Do you think they should just starve to death!?! Do you honestly think that having seven houses makes someone better than those who can't afford, or can barely afford, one?? The rich people in our country should be happy to help out the less fortunate!! In case you didn't know, those people who "don't work as hard", as you put it, make up most of this country, and are responsible for the amount of money the rich people have!! Who do you think buys their merchandise, or pays for their services?
