    As far as the middle class goes, are you going to restrict Obamacare to just the conservative population, or are you including everyone in the middle class?

    Just looking for some clarification.

    If you watched the video you would see there is not enough money in the Rich to run America under the 2011 Budget for one year. We have to cut spending or tax the middle class.

    I vote for cutting spending. Watch the video it breaks it all down.

    Because we want real solutions and not bull$#@! class warfare.
    Taxing the rich will bring in about $65 billion dollars. With deficits exceeding $1 trillion dollars, the extra tax will cover less than .065% of the government's over spending.
    Obama and his dip-$#@! squad are touting a tax on the rich as a fix-all when in reality, it doesn't do jack $#@!.

    I think its important to note that the Bush Tax Cuts happened 5 full years before the mortgage markets went bad.

    Cigar can you please explain how tax cuts caused the Mortgage Markets to collapse?

    Why are YOU and your communist friends so worried about how much the rich take home?

    You do realize, you could tax them 100% and it won't solve the problem right? So what is really behind this "soaking the rich" crap?

    Cutting spending, that is the solution. Unless your a communist, then that idea is completely foreign and stupid for some reason. The more money WE bring home (rich or poor) the better we all are. The government needs to downsize, it's to big for its own good.

    Well, it looks like some of you guys just can't get past the bizarre concept that i expect the expiration of tax-cuts for the wealthy to solve the deficit problem. It's funny; the only ones who even mention the stupid thought that a return to Clinton-era tax rates for the wealthy wouldn't solve the problem are the right-wingers. Who said it would? Who even implied that it would come close? That's not the point. Increased revenues are... revenues plus spending cuts is the way to go. Why does it have to be "starve the beast"? What the hell has austerity done for anyone lately.

    You DO know that a return to the pre-Bush tax rates will bring in a revenue of 1 trillion dollars in tax revenue alone. That's not chump change and it's a big deal.

    Do you see Obama talking about real spending cuts?

    Regan raised taxes and was promised that he would get spending cuts also. Democrats in congress quickly went and raised spending and even override his veto in violation to the promises they made.

    They lied to us before when they said if we raise taxes they would cut spending how can we count on them to do it now?

    I agree. It is as wrong as Barack Obama stating on election night he wants to "work with both sides congress" and than says "I am, not going to budge".

    OK, fair's fair. "I'm not going to budge" Obama ignites a fire....so why is it the Republicans fault?

    At least they have the grit to stand up to the mealy mouthed $#@! off sewer swilling slime.
