Millionaires to Obama: Tax us
   
http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20101119/ts_ybl...


Anti-tax activists everywhere have been loudly arguing for an extension of George W. Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans in the United States. Now a group of millionaires is arguing the opposite.

More than 40 of the nation's millionaires have joined Patriotic Millionaires for Fiscal Strength to ask President Obama to discontinue the tax breaks established for them during the Bush administration, as Salon reports.

"For the fiscal health of our nation and the well-being of our fellow citizens, we ask that you allow tax cuts on incomes over $1,000,000 to expire at the end of this year as scheduled," their website states. "We make this request as loyal citizens who now or in the past earned an income of $1,000,000 per year or more."

Maybe there is hope of humanity yet in this crazy society.

1. It's times like this that I wish I made that much.

I'd gladly pay more taxes.

Seriously.

(Of course, there are a multitude of other reasons I'd want to make that much   )

It's a small bonfire, destined to remain that way. kctim killed the fire.

40? Well that's it then more taxes.  If we can find 41 we win and no new tax hikes.

Maybe the DUmmies should pull their heads out of each other's asses and read this from the Heritage Foundation:

"The Obama tax hikes on the "rich" would result in 238,000 fewer jobs in 2011, and the U.S. economy would average 693,000 fewer jobs each year over the next decade. The loss of potential jobs affects other workers as wages do not increase as fast. For a typical family, disposable income would be $1,000 lower each year for the next five years. Business investment and personal savings would fall by over $70 billion each year for the next five years. These lost jobs and incomes would make it even harder for the economy to reach its full potential."

But why let facts get in the way of a liberal's "feel good" tax increase.   :hammer:

The number of U.S. millionaire households has risen to a record high of 9.3 million as of mid-2006. This is an increase of five percent from the prior year, and the fourth consecutive year that the population of millionaires has increased (Millionaires are defined as $1MM in net worth excluding primary residence)

So there are 40 out of 9,300,000 millionaires that are saying they want more taxes. That's .0004%. You're a long way from a majority DUmbasses.  :thatsright:
