Obama still listening to Buffet about economics/taxes. Should be interesting to see the content of the SOTUA. Probably still going to be heavy on being "fair". What a joke.

What is the point of this, other than to state your disagreement with Obama? Should I start a thread about everything each GOP candidate says that I disagree with?

Reality check: this is an election year. Obama will be playing to his base. That means he'll be saying even more things than usual that you disagree with. And on the tax issue, the liberal position enjoys fairly wide popularity. Hence, it's a no brainer for him to emphasize this.

Madness.

 

[Anarchist420]

The Republicans are the same way. Fairness is subjective, and neither party realizes that.

 

[Drako]

Just more Populist BS from Obama, nothing new here.

87% of all Americans, pay a tax rate less than 15%.

49% of all americans, do not pay taxes.

49% of Americans pay "no taxes?" Are you sure about that? Better rethink it.

 

[the DRIZZLE]

87% of all Americans, pay a tax rate less than 15%.

The problem is there a few people in the 0.1% who are in that category.

 

[Ausm]

The OP is sure an angry little GOP'er.

 

[piasabird]

If you made excuses for Clinton, you are a degenerate!

 

[blackangst1]

Wow. This'll turn into another "the rich dont pay enough" thread.

How unusual.

"87% of all Americans, pay a tax rate less than 15%.

49% of all americans, do not pay taxes."

Just plain wrong - 100% wrong. You may want to understand basic economics before you make idiotic statements like that.

Fairness economics is good economics. Extreme inequality is going to destroy the US economic and social fabric.

 

[Patranus]

Funny, you get angry at anyone who makes more money than you.

 

[Texashiker]

Obama talks about fairness, then passes law that forces people to purchase a product?

Obama is nothing more then a 2 faced sock puppet.

Fairness in opportunity is good. We have that.
Fairness in outcome is a contradiction and is bad. That is Obama's vision for America.

Well why would he want to be accurate when the truth is that 49% of Americans make 2.4% of all income yet pay 7.5% of all taxes and thus pay a tax burden equal to 3 times what it should be based onr income level. But then the facts are just nasty things that liberals use to show that evil thing called the truth.

I'll act like a Mod here like so many others and they let them get away with it.

There is already a State of the Union thread, you are just spamming the forum with crap.

You keep on pretending that's true.

#1. Fair has no place in life or politics. Whats fair is rarely realistic or reasonable.

#2. Fair working for what you want and getting it. Working hard and having half your pay support a government that survives on free handouts is not fair.

You do realize that your point#1 contradicts your point#2, right?

The two political ideologies have different conceptions of what is "fair." I'll just leave it at that.

He wants to give the economy a nice warm hug, until he finishes strangling it to death. There's a reason the recovery has been delayed, and it's the government trying to 'fix' it. Tonight he will outline his continued efforts in this regard. Quite a few people will cheer him for it, others will boo him - the circus in Washington will continue as it always has.

Is that because you think your tax money going to pay for the healthcare costs of the uninsured was fair?

The rich dont pay enough.
