The Bush tax cuts were not supposed to add to the deficit, they were supposed to pay for themselves. Since that obviously hasn't happened, letting those cuts expire is a reasonable thing to do.
Pretending that letting these cuts expire is some kind of Socialist income redistribution or pillaging every dime from people is just whining.
Suck it up, high income people, you have enjoyed tax cuts that have contributed to a massive deficit and it is time to do your part toward resolving it. Stop the crying, cut out the Class Warfare talk, and shoulder your part of this just like the rest of us.
Mr.Gramps and Mr. Resurected get it. Each country and leader in trouble must create a common enemy to point the people at as the source of all problems of the US and the west. In this case the rich. Mr. Gramps and Mr. Resurected can further help the FF by first arranging riots to burn and confiscate their business, pull the silver the gold from their teeth and tattoo them for recognition. Then freight train them to re-eduction camps, do medical experiments on them and turn them into complete slaves while they are starved to death and gassed. It just so happens many of the rich are Jews, which are the primary goal here.
Mr. Steam, we have to tax the rich and its not because we hate. We have to tax them because we love them. Big difference in income correlates to low per capita income. So as the rich get a larger and larger portion of the national icome their income actual drops. We have to tax them for their own good. Beside I would hate living in a third world country that we are rapidly becoming.
What a crybaby steamed has turned out to be. His favorite president promised that the tax cuts would create 5 million jobs and wouldn't increase the deficit.
This turned out to be about as accurate as many of the other things he told the gullible.
Taking back those cuts is hardly the equivalent of mass genocide, so buck up and face the facts that the tax cut experiment failed and needs to be re-thought. The top couple percent of taxpayers are the only ones who's incomes have risen. They are in a position to be able to afford to pay the same rate of taxation as they did before the cuts, back when most of them earned a lot less money.
And quit yer crying!
Most Americans don't pay taxes. What do you think MOST Americans are gonna say?

Awesome. If we can pillage every dime of wealth from everyone making over 25k a year we can pay the debt for a whole year. The west can finally match the economic success of Cuba . Polls scream for the castration of lazy, greedy and rich business owners and forcing the further loss of profit and the closing of the places where the voters work, so that the worker can become government dependents. All hail the 71% of progressive voters, largely representing the 49% of Americans who pay no federal taxes at all, who push this poll into a progressive state where wealth is re-distributed to the non-worker/taxpayer so that the playing field is leveled and no longer will there be inequality in the rich in poor, but the rich and successful will be further enslaved by the new plantation owners and misery will be distributed equally. FF success in the making.
