House entertains 5.4% surtax on millionaires

[Magnetic Poles]

ever lived in a real dump, no heat, rains as much inside as out, no heat unless you stand within 2 feet of the stove(the cat froze to death under the couch, was rock solid when I found him), no indoor water, no bathroom, never enough to eat? well I have, for a long time. if obama and you get your way we'll be going back to it. and worse yet, so will my grandchildren.

Again, only you can change it. Maybe you should move away from that area to somewhere with more opportunity. Maybe you should get a student loan and get some training. There are ways to improve your lot. Rather than lashing out at people who you think have more money than you, heal yourself. This is what I mean about voting against your interest. You want huge tax breaks for Billionaires, while you live a life of poverty. That is all you will ever have, because that is all they will allow, unless the people vote for change. You can effect some changes, but it takes regulation and tax code to make the greedy CEOs do the right thing.

As you have no idea of what I have lived through, you are merely showing your total ignorance and disrespect.

as you've been doing all along?
if you aren't living it right now, you ahve no idea how people right now are living.
thats ignorance.

Again, you have no idea what you are talking about. I have lived on far less, so get off your "high horse". If you are not happy with your income, do something about it and quit whining and blaming others.

under current conditions, menaing you would have to be livng that way right now for it to mean anything to this converstion, if not you still have no idea what people are livng liek right now. you have no current expereince under same conditons to compare it with.

You have no idea what my income is or has been [/qoute]more then $275. a week? then again, you ahve no idea, and as far as we'vew seen you post, you don't care about people with less, of course socialists/communists never do.

Do something about it and quit blaming others.

do what, why don't you tell me do what? all we want is to be left alone, and people not take more of our money that my husband earns to take care of us. but no he's expected to earn enough for everyone else too, even if we go under doing it.

You know something...I will put my charitable work against yours any day.

people who have more money can give more money.

And to call me a communist is just way over the top.

didn't call you anything, please read more carefully.

Again with blaming others for your miserable situation

I haven't blamed anyone, but when you want to take away from us what we've earned, then whose to blame for that?

This is getting quite pathetic.

move where, when, how? my husband would ahve to have a job elsewhere first, he can not get a better job then he has right now, not without education and trianing. you have no idea.
I, for the ten thousanth time, am disabled, if I could get educationa nd trianing and help us I would. but I supose you tell all disabled people to get a job don't you, elderly, hungry children.

There are ways to improve your lot.

no there isn't, not for everyone.

You want huge tax breaks for Billionaires,

again,making it up.


You'll never get the idea, it's going to trickle down to the rest of us, and food and necessities are going to double, if not more, we've been watching happen right now, everytime we go to the store.

but they owe something back to the free society that made it possible....without which, they would never have had that opportunity.

No they don't. Those who "helped" them get to the top received their due either through wages or products and services. Its called the free market.

Under the current system, there is every incentive to send all the jobs you all talk about, overseas. Time to eliminate that incentive by taxing those excess profits to help our own people.

You right there is incentive it is called excessive taxes and and labor costs.

Who said I am not living it now? Just you. You have no clue, as we have already determined.

people who have more money can give more money.

You really have a comprehension problem don't you? I never mentioned money. I am talking about charitable works, not charitable giving. One can serve food at a soup kitchen. One can distribute blankets. One can volunteer at a shelter.

didn't call you anything, please read more carefully.

Really? Read your words again. Then you finish with this:

So personal attacks are all you have left. Sad.

There are always a million reasons why people "can't". This is what separates those who do and those who don't.

I am sorry for your disability, but you can use a computer. Do you know that you could get training to do a computer job? I used to manage a man whose entire body was twisted and stiff from Cerebral Palsy, yet he came to work everyday and created artwork and catalogs as a graphic artist using the computer. There is always someone worse off than we. But you seem to take pride in trying to be the one worse off than anyone. Pity parties don't help, but they do give rationalization.

Could hubby get retrained for a better job? Student loans are available and so is night school.

Your ignorance is of my situation. You have made incorrect assumptions. That is truth. But it is okay to call me a communist.

A. To call some one "ignorant" is considered bad form. That goes to the person. Saying "you made an incorrect assumption" is with in the bounds. That speaks to the statement\comment.
B. Calling someone a little "c" communist is not the same as calling them a capitol "C" Communist. One speak to a perceived political position. The other speaks to memerbship in a particular organization.

It will surprise no one that I am closing this (5 page) thread.
