The "Gang of Six" are the biggest takers in Congress. The only way they keep their jobs are by getting free stuff for their constituents.

every democraP in office turns my stomach

The wealthiest Americans are not the same as the top income earners. Let´s be very clear on this. I only want to tax people like Sean Penn so wherever he fits in the formula, that´s who we ought to tax into oblivion.

just the beginning of the end for the democrat party. I have faith that Americans will come their senses, soon enough.

That right # 3 tax the hell out of the Hollywood do nothings. They do nothing to contribute to the betterment of society. They are the true takers. Inflated payslips and for what? The left complains about CEO salaries and they are running companies that produce for the common good. Why should a liberal actor make millions for a lousy 90 minute movie? If the left wants to get it right, tax these b......s 90% on their gross.

It is interesting to note that like every other "progressive" proposal not one of the six principles can be quantified in any way. They are all squishy feel good bumper sticker slogans.

It doesn´t surprise me to see Mike Honda of California at the top of the "Gang of Six". He´s from Northern California and No. Calif. is about as different from So. Calif. as night is from day. I always hated voting in No. California, because my husband and I were one of the few Republicans voting and the poll workers looked at us as if we were lepers.

Six times zero is still zero. . .

Goof luck to them in getting their socialist tax policies through the current House of Representatives.

It´s pretty much built in to tax-centered policy that the middle class will get it good and hard. Does anyone think that rasing the nominal rate on Buffett will get much more money out of the super rich? But we will be supposed to assume that they´ve done their part. In the end, it´s a stronger relationship between big businessa / the 1% types like Gates, Soros and Buffett and Democrat government.

Change the conversation to economic, not government growth and spending cuts. The budget balances, the economy win and the people take goernment out of the center of their lives. Leave the misdirection to taxes (rates, deductions, legalizing drugs for taxes, carbon - the whole thing) out of it.

I would like to see a conversation about the trusts that Pelosi, Kerry, Clinton, Buffet, Gates, Kennedy are sheltering their money in.

Their intent is to smash the system. Communism and socialism create and distribute misery, with the ruling class exempted from it.

Here is a news flash for these repulsive little dictators - 6 people in a gang don´t get to write the rules for everyone else. Go sit down.

OK, Honda, kindly forward your personal check to the U.S. Treasury and LEAVE THE REST OF US ALONE.

How many millionaires left Britain and France after higher taxes were imposed. Tax revenues will fall with the exit of producers in this country as well. The religion of the left is a mind sacrificing belief that is the envy of muslims everywhere.

You can´t let the Democrats pick and choose who to tax. Start by sharing the pain by ending the extensions of the Bush and Obama tax cuts. Then end the extensions on unemployment insurance. Don´t cave on sequestration, force spending cuts.

I hope you all know what comes next when this round of tax increases is done. First there will be a VAT tax, then a government take over of 401K retirement from all the people who provided for their own retirement making that as insolvent as the social security system. All of this is only a drop in the bucket of Obama spending. The entire global GDP could not supply Obama spending. His base will not be satisfied but then add in all the third world basket cases ready to tax the US through UN treaties which Obama favours. If you are going broke trying to satisfy domestic takers wait till all the takers of the world unite! Just the beginning indeed! It is not hard to predict where the ending will be.

It just blows mind how the gutless Republicans can´t even muster the courage to challenge these Marxists on how they think destroying the rich is going to pay off debt and benefit the free market.

I´m sure that the ruling class will exempt themselves from this,just like they did with obamacare.

Yes, but we know what they look like. When they run out of other people´s money, then even the obamaphone celebrants will shun them at best. Until there are consequences for democrats´ words and actions, they will not stop. They´re simply not able to stop now because they´ve gone insane.
