What Ms. Szydlowski's blog is saying is that the rich in Obama's eyes are actually the middle class...and raising our taxes will pay for the poorer classes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345263705289926344.post-81413642689844278862012-07-14T13:23:36.635-04:002012-07-14T13:23:36.635-04:00Dan, I guess you don't understand what Julie i...Dan, I guess you don't understand what Julie is saying or what Obama is trying to do. Obama is suggesting a tax increase on those who are already paying most if not all of the federal income taxes. Julie is stating this is not the time to do it and that the Obama proposal would have a detrimental effect on everyone including those who are in need of jobs. Obama keeps saying it's a tax cut for the rich when in truth all that conservatives are suggesting is that the tax rate stays where it is. Why is it that some people can't understand that?Arjaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345263705289926344.post-10675036617494975442012-07-14T00:18:44.000-04:002012-07-14T00:18:44.000-04:00I'm curious - do you want to see that 49% pay ...I'm curious - do you want to see that 49% pay more in taxes? You seem disturbed that they aren't paying anything but the rich are paying a lot, but the tone of the rest of this seems like you don't want taxes to increase on the middle class. <br /><br />So the poor should pay more and the upper/middle class pay less? Is that accurate? I just want to understand your point more clearly :)Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345263705289926344.post-54791889570112671242012-07-13T21:33:43.844-04:002012-07-13T21:33:43.844-04:00Brilliant research and articulation!!!Brilliant research and articulation!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345263705289926344.post-70654959744142405692012-07-13T14:00:27.799-04:002012-07-13T14:00:27.799-04:00It astounds me how so many in the middle class are...It astounds me how so many in the middle class are showing such jealousy over those who may have more money than they do. They want to punish the successful, even though many of these successful people are small business owners and other job providers. The thing is, how does someone else's success hurt me? The last time I looked at my paycheck, the only one taking any money out of it was the government, not a business person. And you could take every single dime of the top billionaires in america and it wouldn't make a dent in our trillion dollars deficit that Obama wants to keep adding to! Wake up people. Stop being jealous. Stop wishing for harm to come to others so you can feel better about your own life. Class warfare is not the American way. Besides, with this president's attitude, why should any of us try to achieve success? All that waits for us is hatred by this man who thinks working hard and gaining success is evil. Be careful what you wish for. Punishing hard work is bad for everyone. Think about it.Jeff/Sterling Hghts.noreply@blogger.com
