    I like the “Buffet Rule” I get to keep all the money I owe the gov’t. for 9-10 years and invest it the way I see fit earning capital gains that I only have to pay 15% on.

    Even presidents work for the people who elect them.

    I don’t know what time his latest speech started however I assumed he would be fashionable/annoyably/condescendingly late again. Per the comments I gather I was right.

    As to the content I did manage to catch live – perhaps we’d be better off with less “speechifying” and more education for the administration that seems uninterested in checkinig out history and how things have worked or failed. I am also tired of being talked down to.

    It’s about time. I’ve been waiting on his share the wealth plan for three years. Show me the money babe…I can’t wait to get my check in the mail. My only disappointment is the delay. I know the man is brilliant so why three years. If I wasn‘t brain washed I’d swear the man is running for office or something. blogger idiotsemail.wordpress

    Deja vu all over again. The Grand Bargain Obama talks about repeatedly is nothing more than a tax and spend program. It is based on tax increases today and spending cuts over the next 10 years. Of course, this will never work because no Congress can restrain the spending of subsequent Congresses.

    And heaven help us if Obama leaves us seniors to the perfidy of the insurance industry. He thinks it is much preferable to establish his Medicare group to determine the cost effectiveness of treating us old codgers. If you don’t work, you don’t get that heart bypass.

    I have never gotten a job from a poor person. Obama wants to take another $trillion out of the private economy through taxation, not to mention another $trillion from excessive regulations. And corporations DO NOT PAY INCOME TAX. Every tax on a corporation is considered an expense. That expense, like payroll and utilities, is included in the price charged for the company’s goods or services. So the CUSTOMERS PAY THE CORPORATE TAX.

    I know I am the only person in America who is sick and tired of the pronouncements of Warren Buffett about tax rates on the “rich.” His company is currently fighting billions of dollars of corporate income tax from years past. Why is he fighting to avoid paying his “fair share?” And the CEO of GE, who happens to be the Obama jobs czar, is transferring jobs and technology to China while paying no corporate income tax on billions of income.

    There will never be an end to taking more money away from people. There is no live within one’s budget ideology in DC. There is no wise spending in DC.

    Did he just say something about us pledging to support the Constitution? Isn’t he the one who refused to do so in some instances and that he has refused to abide by some laws?

    Yes, it is class warfare no matter how many times he says it isn’t.

    Did he give all of his assets, his family’s assets to the govt.? No? I see.

    Communism and Socialism seem to be more important to some people who apparently don’t like this country. However, even though they don’t work, they keep pushing them. I suppose they could move to North Korea but they‘d rather ruin what’s good here. No one ever said America was perfect but it IS the reason people flock here instead of staying in their home countries.

    He’s talking to the Independents. He thinks this is what they want to hear. This tells me he’s abandoning his base completely. He knows they’ve got his number. He’s playing to the bi-partisan crowd who don‘t have strong opinions and who don’t really pay attention to details. This should create enough sound bites for the next news cycle. The NASDAQ is loving this speech. It’s really rising markedly.

    Show me the cuts in writing. Otherwise this is more smoke and mirrors from the “Disillusionist.”

      Excellent Point!!!
      IF there were sincere cuts in spending and in deficit, people would be willing to sacrifice a bit,
      but to keep things going as is, forget it. You lead by example. Name ONE thing that this pres
      has spent less on since taking office…one single sacrifice that he and his family have made?
      (Not in comparison to former presidents even, in comparison to the depression days, which he claims this equates to in his financial challenge for the country)

      I heard, on FOX none the less, over the weekend (streaming info) that the recession officially ended in June ‘09 AND that the avg. American household has increased their personal value by 15%!

      I don’t know of ONE person who can say that – not one.

    Maybe he could start by cutting congressional pensions before messing with the military as they don’t make anything of significance anyway. Seems like a political posture to me instead of serious business. Is this another case of the rich and powerful in control stepping on the little guy that liberals are always bitching about? Maybe they should look in their own house to find the bad guys.
