The POINT, though, that I want to make, is that the OP suggests the top 2% richest are virtuous capitalists, holding up america’s economy through the strength of their ambition and tenaciousness, and that this is false. These aren’t the good guys. They’re just rich. Taxing them more is certainly acceptable.

Just wondering if you actually understand what you read or do you spin it to match the fantasy that goes on in your head. I agree that there’s nothing wrong with taxing the rich. They can afford it. What I do find disturbing is O’Bama wants to “ask” them to give back past monies. That sounds a little suspect to me … almost like coersion … kinda like what the Constitution protects us against … that same Constitution that Mr. O’Bama says he wants to protect with his life … Well, other than that, it’s been a fun little discussion thus far.[/quote]

There is a HUGE difference in just taxing the rich and taxing the rich to give money to those who don’t pay taxes.

The first one is not so evil. The second is wealth redistribution. That is wrong no matter how you try and justify it.

See Rainjack gets it … he gets it just fine … Why doesn’t anyone else get it?

“Trickle-Up” Poverty: The New
Economics of Barack Obama

The liberal media talking heads are already proclaiming that a Barack Obama victory will be revolutionary. Revolutionary is right. The last great revolution took place in Russia. Within a year of the Russian Revolution in 1917, the communist leader Lenin brought the Russians change they could believe in. He created an economic system in which:

All industry was nationalized and strict centralized management was introduced.
Obligatory labor duty was imposed onto “non-working classes” or people who had money. Food was rationed and centrally distributed.
Military-like control of railroads was introduced.
Private enterprise became illegal.
After Stalin took over the Soviet Union, he:

Imposed a state-run system of socialized medicine
Formed a strict, centralized cultural administration and ideological control system �?? in other words, reeducation.
There is every reason to believe that some kind of socialist revolution will occur under B.O. Bush has already imposed socialism on the banks, and Obama promises to do more of the same. The Soviets put people with money to work in factories.

Under Obama, the business owners in this country who drive the economy will be put to work by being forced to pay crushing taxes that will fund gold-plated healthcare for illegal aliens and welfare cases. Private enterprise may not actually be made illegal, but so many businesses will die under an Obama administration that the same goal will be accomplished. Instead of trickle-down economics, we�??ll have trickle-up poverty.

We already know Obama will impose socialized medicine �?? that is a given. And reeducation will come in the form of the Fairness Doctrine, which Nancy Pelosi will push through the Congress by stressing the need to foster unity and avoid destabilizing the markets with hurtful and unbalanced commentary.This is what the future holds under B.O.

No one votes for Republicans because they run the economy well. They don’t and haven’t. I don’t get who articles like this are meant for.

If you care about gays and abortions you vote republicans.
If you want a strong economy you vote democratic.
See modern history for evidence.

Are the centrist thinking, pro capitalists advising Obama on economics, many from the Clinton team really going to push for making private enterprise “illegal”. Of course not, but you’ll keep hearing this from factually challenged people who also think God cares about abortions and no know nothing about economics. See Mick28 for example.

You do realize this housing marked mess started under Clinton and was perpetuated by the dems, right?[/quote]

I always thought “greenlining” started in 70’s under Carter.

If you look in the earlier posts I said I got this from Mike.
