[quote:071676:MV8yMDczNTIwXzM0OTAxMDAxX0I3NDQzNEVC] [quote:Corn Dog:MV8yMDczNTIwXzM0OTAwODY5XzU5NkEyRDgy] I believe that taxes on the rich need to happen. I am realistic in that it will not cure all evils, like the Dems believe. I realize that the mental block that is happening cannot be fixed. The Dems and raising taxes on the rich is like a skip in a record, it will not stop repeating the same thing until you nudge the needle. As for Rand Paul, I have no opinion on him. He is early in his career and so far people are not impressed is the general feeling feeling I get. [/quote] The tax on the rich, is not really a tax on the rich at all. Even if they raised the tax rate for all of those earning $200,000 ($250,000 for couple) a year, it will only pay for a total of four days of government spending. The other problem that Obama is refusing to inform the public is that those making the higher tax bracket are the very ones creating jobs or trying to create jobs. Taking them more is only taking more jobs away. This in turn lowers tax revenue, because there are fewer people earning a living and requiring more government money that doesn't exist. This then requires more taxes on everyone, to continue paying for the jobs that Obama's taxes are losing. [/quote]

SEN. RAND PAUL: I have yet another thought on how we can fix this. Why don't we let the Democrats pass whatever they want? If they are the party of higher taxes, all the Republicans vote present and let the Democrats raise taxes as high as they want to raise them, let Democrats in the Senate raise taxes, let the president sign it and then make them own the tax increase. And when the economy stalls, when the economy sputters, when people lose their jobs, they know which party to blame, the party of high taxes. Let's don't be the party of just almost as high taxes.
