Biden calls paying higher taxes a patriotic act



Quote
WASHINGTON - Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that paying more in taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans. The Republican campaign for president calls the tax increases their Democratic opponents propose "painful" instead of patriotic.

Under the economic plan proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of American taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.

"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

If the amount you pay in taxes is the way to measure how patriotic you are, I'm already patriotic enough.

Well, if it's so damn' patriotic for the wealthy, why would the people below $250K be getting a reduction?  PLEASE keep talking, Joe!

Since the Democrats are the party of the "less fortunante"...

And the poorer 40% of the country doesn't pay taxes...

And paying taxes is 'patriotic'...

Can we start questioning the Democrats' patriotism yet?

Those who see their lives as spoiled and wasted crave equality and fraternity more than they do freedom. If they clamor for freedom, it is but freedom to establish equality and uniformity. The passion for equality is partly a passion for anonymity: to be one thread of the many which make up a tunic; one thread not distinguishable from the others. No one can then point us out, measure us against others and expose our inferiority.
