Looks like the rich and middle-class are getting hit pretty well.

Umm, nice assumption but unfortunately a bit off the mark.

Taxing the poor is like going fishing in Nevada.

Nevada has some pretty damn good fishing dumbass.
What amazes me in the first place is that these people have the concept that taxes need to be increased. They don't. We just need to cut frivolous spending. Cut out plans that are proven to have no effect. Get rid of all the pork. All of that shit, and the taxes we bring in already will be to much as it is.

Trust me, if the worst happens and the messiahfuhrer wins, there will be double digit unemployment and inflation within a few months. Not counting the guaranteed terrorist attack.
These people don't know jack shit about economics, nor even the nature of capital.

That's why most of the people who voted for "change" will want more change in the government, as all they will have left after the Obamessiah's spending increases go through will be "change"--pocket change.

And the change they can get selling pencils on the street since they won't have jobs.

Hey shitbag.
If the rich have to pay them what makes the poor think they have a right to demand them?
