THE problem is not necessarily the super rich. It is not like they are scamming anyone. People constantly want to help them spend their money

If Henry ford only mad $1 per car he would still have at least 15 million a year.

Before we blame the working people let us start with the crooked politicians. They are to blame and yet no one goes after them.

Until we do, nothing will change.

I continue to get a bang out of those who get bent about the tax rate for wealthy folk.

Tough to top the absolute buffoonery of BO continuing to hammer his want for a higher tax for Fatties. Didn't he just agree last year to extend the rates for 2 years and now he's goin' all demagogic even after HarReid agreed to no increase?

Good sell for his campaign. Vote for me. I was in the fight for higher taxes to the bitter end.

The only problem with the wealthy leaving is that they would take their money with them. Oh, wait. They already have their money in China.

They may or not take their money out of the country, but I doubt very few people with half a brain would put their personal money in China. They may, however, have put the company they work for's money there though.

I saw story on Chinese billionaires once. They almost all were women. I not sure what that means, but it must mean something.

I was trying for a little humor when I said they had their money in China, but they probably have a lot of it in international investments. Actually, my wife and I have a substantial amount in mutual funds that invest globally, and I kind of which we had more invested abroad. On the other hand, given the way international markets are reacting to what's going on in Washington, I doubt that being invested globally is that much of a hedge.

It means they don't buy as many shoes as American women.

Which is why so many leave the country and expand their businesses in countries that appreciate their efforts. Can't blame them at all. to bad liberals were not half as eager to contibute as they are to take away from those who do.

Other countries get the jobs, the tax revenues and we get Reid, Pelsoi, and OBama.......nkuck nkuck nkuck..woo woo wooo!~

The revolution is already under way. For the first time since the debt ceiling was passed in 1917 the financial integrity of the United States has been held hostage by a vocal minority, setting a terrible precedent. One way or another it's the end of the world as we know it. Isn't that what a revolution is about?
