This nation has exactly one fiscal problem.
The utter lack of political will to tax the people who have all the money.
Here we go again. :whatever:

Wait.
I thought Obama's brilliance was leading us into the awesomest economic recovery ever.

This is for the "Guests" that wonder over here.
In just a few minutes I did a little research on countries with high marginal tax rates. Some of them have been that way for decades.
Lets take Belgium for instance they have ridiculous tax rates, second highest individual marginal rates in the world. Have been for a long time from my few minutes of research.

Oh, look what else I found they are number 11 on the a list of the largest gaps between richest and poorest.

There are so many problems, but one is government waste. And this goes for both sides of the isle. Tax and Spend... until you get government spending under control it doesn't matter how much you ****ing tax the "rich." You think that 5% is going to the poor and needy, think the **** again.

Sometimes I read that never-ending crap and just think "**** it, go ahead and do it, and you dumbshits can see what havoc ensure." Of course there's no point, because they'd never accept responsibility for the disaster, and so wouldn't learn anything from it.
When I was young, the top Fed income tax rate was 70%, and the threshold where it kicked in was so low that it affected tradesmen like plumbers, HVAC, and electricians, and also a lot of not-particularly-rich white-collar professionals like doctors, realtors, CPAs, and lawyers. The result was a lot of people working off the books or just slacking off on any billable work once they hit the 70% income tax level, because with State income tax and other friction, it just wasn't worth it to put in the hours and only get to keep a quarter of what you were theoretically earning for the work.

Can you imagine waking up every day obsessed and enraged about what someone else has?
Especially when there is not one damned thing you ever can actually do about it.

US Economic Recovery Is a 'House of Sand'

"Mr. Obama's only economic idea is to redistribute wealth via ever-rising taxes from the productive class and the job creators to everyone else. If Republicans let him, things will get worse for everyone before they get better."
Democrats are all idiots.

I saw, at an art show (of sorts), a saying . . . "Jealousy is counting someone else's blessings rather than your own."
How true that is.

Actually they COULD do something about it; but they'd rather piss and moan than go out and try.

The word you're looking for is
GREED
They try to claim conservatives are greedy. That's just projection. Conservatives believe people who work deserve to keep what they fairly earn.
Greed is the desire for unearned wealth.
THAT is every - single - liberal -proposition!

What the DUmmies fail to understand is basic mathematics. If the Government were to take ALL the money from everyone in the US, say, making 200K a year and up, it would fund the current spending spree for about................................................6 months. Then what, DUmbasses?

Followed 3 minutes later by:
The right people didn't do it.
It'll work next time.
It wasn't really (insert favorite description here).
Next time, we'll actually tax them.
The sun was in my eyes.
