This is....amazing. And this woman is dumber is than a sack of hammers (below).
Point 1: Obama is talking about putting the highest tax bracket back to 39%, as it was during the Clinton administration (note how Clinton's economy didn't exactly destroy American prosperity). That means the tax rate going from 36% to 39%--a 3% increase in taxes on dollars made over the 250K mark. If anyone out there is making over 250K and are aghast at a 3% increase on that slice of your income, I have three words for you: Boo Frickin Hoo. We've been bleeding our budgets red and Obama is raising taxes because he must. Why? Because of that irresponsible child masquerading as a President in the White House. If you have a problem with that--blame W and his merry band of hypocrites that ran the House and the Senate for the first six years of W's presidency and, together, spent other people's money like a pack of drunken sorority girls with new credit cards. It's because of them that we have to go around the world with a tin cup and a tamborine just just to pay the massive bills we've collected.
Point 2: If progressive taxation makes one a Socialist or akin to Marxism, then lump Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan in that crowd as well.
Point 3: Eh....what's the use? Crazy broads like this will be pushed to the margins soon enough, I guess. They will still have similar private thoughts--but they will either keep them to themselves so they aren't socially ostracized or will be put out to pasture. It won't be soon enough.
UPDATE: According to Paul Abrams, Obama would increase the top marginal rate 4%, not 3%. His overall view on it is here. (What he and I neglected to mention--and where Joe the Plumber shows his ass as someone who knows little about business or taxes--is that if he incorporated his company, as he should, he could pay himself a salary of 249,999 dollars and never face a tax increase under Obama's plan).
