How much more did you willingly pay in your taxes this year? Or just like every other Obama supporter you expect others to pay for the massive mistakes of a few? How about those people pay for their own fucking mistakes and you all stay out of my pockets? |
Yawn.
Is it like against your religion to discuss things rationally or disagree agreeably?
This isn't about new laws or lobbyists, this is about regulations that the executive branch alone can write and enforce.
This is about the fact that even though there were laws on the books regulating the financial industry, it's the President's prerogative whether or not to enforce them, and how strictly to enforce them.
We now have a President who cares about Joe Six Pack more than Joe the CEO and who will keep an eye on the credit card companies.
What's with this "like every other Obama supporter" line?
Maybe you didn't read the exit polling, but Obama won the vote of people making over $250K per year, the people on whom taxes will increase.
If you don't like it, you can move somewhere else. Of course, every other industrialized nation has much higher taxes, particularly on the wealthy, than the U.S. will even if Obama gets all of his proposals through congress.
I guess you could always move to a 3rd world country. Some of them have lower taxes than the U.S.
There seems to be plenty of work for web savvy people in Nigeria.
