I'm wondering why the talk is suddenly anti-Romney because he's rich? If my info is correct, John Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry had a net worth of about $750 million when he ran for president (along with 5 or 6 very luxurious homes) but it didn't make him look like a bad guy - just a rich guy. In other words, at what point did it become a bad thing to be a rich presidental candidate? Personally, I don't care how much money the candidate has. I' ...

Talk Box: Tax Cut Extension Would Lead to More Borrowing From China 12/7/10 at 01:50 AM // MSNBC's Chuck Todd reported that the framework deal President Obama seems to have reached with Republicans on extending the Bush tax cuts will result in a loss of revenue totaling nearly $450 billion in 2011, more than the cost of the 2009 stimulus while Countdown guest host Sam Seder investigated the huge amounts the U.S. will have to borrow from countries like China, Russia and th ...

"If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further," Buffett said. "But I think that people at the high end -- people like myself -- should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it." ...

more and yes there have to be cuts. The rich have seen their wealth RISE AND RISE AND RISE while all the peons below them have seen their wealth DECREASE AND DECREASE AND DECREASE if they are even lucky to still have a job. Congress has taken us into war after war which costs money (and made alot money for those already wealthy too didnt it-shouldve been an excess profit tax on those war profiteering companies), there was the donut hole, TARP, GM bailout, stimulus, etc. Those things ...

Today: And the American International Group is contractually obliged to make bonus payments of nearly $200 million in March 2010. The company has promised to try to reduce that amount by 30 percent. But once again, there is nothing Mr. Feinberg can do because those bonuses were already written into contracts — and there is a high likelihood that the bonuses will create another furor in Congress, just as they did earlier this year. A year ago: For instance, it is critical for General Mot ...

*See comment below article. This is an old article but it rings true to today's speeches by many people. Save the children: Tax the rich Print Email to a Friend by: JARVIS TYNER march 10 2011 Almost 25 percent of U.S. children are now living in poverty - the largest number since the Great Depression.

DeDomenicis has lived in this house since 1982, a few hundred feet from a bay. She used to work as a restaurant server; now she’s a school crossing guard. Her husband walked a mile to his job at Bally’s Casino until he retired in January. They’ve seen floods worsen as the seas have risen, as the land beneath them has sunk, and as local infrastructure has rotted away. “It comes in the front door, the back door, and then from the bottom of the house, in through the sides,” DeDomenicis sa ...

From Pew Research, 09/12/2012: The percentage of Americans who say they are in the lower-middle or lower class has risen from a quarter of the adult population to about a third in the past four years, according to a national survey of 2,508 adults by the Pew Research Center. Not only has the lower class grown, but its demographic profile also has shifted. People younger than 30 are disproportionately swelling the ranks of the self-defined lower classes. The shares of Hispanics and whites ...

We are all Americans. Why is it that I feel like an anarchy is about to happen. Blacks are against whites again even though we already fought this fight in the 60s and have laws and blacks are much better off than before the 60s. True not all the problems are solved, but Democrats are helping the young blacks start all over again with their nonstop stuff. I fear that our country will be hit by some other country and something like 911 is the only thing that will join us together again, even f ...

To the poster who answered my post entitled We are All Americans, I read it again and I never once called anyone names. I was asking, literally begging you all to come together to make our country the best we can be. What is wrong with that? At any rate, Democrats are so touchy and end up being nasty and hateful and actually physically assault others, all because a person disagrees with them. I don't recall threatening anyone or calling names. Again, I just asked you to stop ...

With all the wildfires we have in this country, loss of life, property and the toll on wildlife and environment, why aren't we using this as a resource. Seems to be there should be funds appropriated for the use of this aircraft. I know departments only have so much funds to work with and maybe our federal government needs to have an emergency fund to allow this to be used. It would surely outweigh the cost of life, property and the environmental costs sustained by our cur ...

What do I mean by that? Let's take a look at the people who are really in charge, the ones who actually run the Republican party.

More Americans feel comfortable with a presidential candidate who identifies as gay or lesbian than with one who identifies as an evangelical Christian, according to a new poll. The latest WSJ/NBC poll listed a series of qualities in a potential presidential candidate and asked respondents whether they'd "be enthusiastic," "be comfortable with," "have some reservations about" or "be very uncomfortable with" a candidate with each of those qualities. The results revealed that Americans ...

They think we all have the intelligence of a retarded eggplant and try to manipulate us into these wars amongst ourselves. Believe me, it suits their purposes very well. It doesn't serve us any purpose, though. Whatever point of view you might hold politically, some of what you believe is right and some of it's wrong. It's terribly exhausting to pretend otherwise. If all of us ordinary Americans suddenly started treating each other with ordinary common courtesy ...
