It's time to tax the ultra-rich until we have eliminated the deficit and debt, after all
they are the ones who led us into this mess.
That is all

5. And if the government won't do it then perhaps the citizenry ....
can do something about it. How about an online forum with the pictures and travel plans of the rich. And then all American's strike against them. They drive somewhere - spike the tires and key the car. Utility workers could turn off their power and water at the source every night. Hotel workers could pee and masturbate into their room service orders. Maids could short sheet their beds. Construction workers could tear up the road in front of their driveway and not repair it. Swiming pool cleaners could stuff dead fish into their filters. Mechanics could pour sugar into their gas tanks just before they leave the lot. Boat mechanics could open the balast cocks on their yachts. Chefs could add a little blowfish to the seafood buffet. Guards could publish their travel itinerary online and take a coffe break at a critical moment. Pilots could depressurize the cabin. Network administrators could "forget" to update the firewalls or security or just turn it off. Police could be "late" to any calls as could firefighters. Bank tellers could send copies their offshore transfers to the IRS. You get the idea.
And yes, I think if everyone treated them like shit, it would work. But unfortunately it won't because entirely too many 'muricans are too comfortable bending over with their pants around their ankles. So nothing will happen. But it should and maybe, maybe one day it will.
Nice bunch you attract skins.

If you can rub 2 dimes togethr, you are one of the evil rich...soooo, if you shoot the DUmmie, it's self defense.

Yes, tax the ultra rich to the point where they move all their money and businesses off-shore to more business friendly places, and if that happens who do we tax next? let's look at Cuba to see our future?

Someone needs to shove this guy's head in a toilet and slam the lid as hard as they can about three hundred times. :hammer:

Or perhaps what got us into in it was actually Democrats trying to deliver bread and circuses to the masses and completely corrupting the free market with inflated entitlements, so-called progressive taxes letting their own voters out of paying the freight on the entitlements, runaway home prices driven by free money made available via uncontrolled Federally-guaranteed mortgages and a policy of punishing any lending institutions that actually tried to look at lender qualifications (Especially if a woman or minority was borrowing).

Sorry, dumbass... it just won't work.
You Can’t Tax the Rich Enough to Close the Deficit (http://blog.heritage.org/?p=44535)
Closing the more than $1 trillion deficit Obama’s spending would produce in 2020 by taxing only the rich would require a top income tax rate of 134 percent. Of course it is impossible to tax more than 100 percent of any taxpayer’s income. More importantly, any rate even approaching such a dangerous level would destroy the economy. Period. So even if it were mathematically possible to tax more income than the rich earn, there would be none of it left for the government to confiscate.

Probably because the poster incited open violence. Skinner likes to keep it as implied violence.

They're so cute when the talk economics. Who do they think drive the engine of the economy? Who BUYS all the stuff? Who OWNS the franchises where they get fired from for smoking pot on the job?
Don't "the rich" pay enough? The top 5 percent pay more than half of all the tax revenue in the country.
When is enough, enough?

Enough is enough when everyone is equally miserable.

These assclowns don't just want to tax future earnings. They want to retroactively tax past earnings as well. DUmmies would call this "paying their fair share". A normal person would call it "Theft".

One DUmmie in another thread proposed a 10% wealth tax. :mental:

Screw the taxing, lets just make it bleed. :-)

THEN, sit on the lid while flushing the toilet...repeatedly! :hammer:
Gawd these people (and I use that term loosely) are rock solid, black hole dense STUPID!
Could all DUmmies and liberals meet with an "unfortunate end" somehow, either by their own hands or by others, and we could call it a "retroactive abortion".
That's one type of abortion I could support.

WOW! Really?! Is that how it happened? So, how "exactly" did they led us into this mess? I would love to hear the answers I would get from those clowns over there at the DUmp.

Just when ya thought they couldn't dig any deeper...

How about we tax you until you bleed?
I'd settle for just the making them bleed part...

Think about it. A 50% tax on zero is still zero. DUmmy's don't have an income.

I detect sarcasm. My bet is that he's a mole.

Ok, you idiots, let's just see what happens when...God forbid...the tax rate for the S0oper Riiiiiich is 100%, and let's just assume that collecting those taxes will pay off the debt (insane and ridiculous, I know, but just for the sake of this point). This is what will inevitably happen:
A. All rich people will end up with little or no money. Any businesses they had will be finished, gone, kaput. That's a whole lot of economy that will never take place anymore. Many people will lose their jobs, and with far fewer businesses around, there's nowhere to find work. Hello Great Depression on steroids!
B. The debt may be paid, but will that stop the government from spending and running up a defit for next year? Nope. They will be in the red, and probably far worse than ever before because tax revenues will plummet to somewhere around the seventh circle of Hell.
C. Since the rich is no longer any rich people, who are you going to tax now? All of the money that's been collected has been blown on government programs, and since the rich have either fled to a nicer place like Siberia or have forfeit their money, there's no more taxes to be had.
D. All this will result in the government printing money like there's no tomorrow, because by this time, there won't be.
E. Robert Mugabe gets jealous and Stalin dances with glee.
