The vast majority of wealthy people in this country derive their income from long term capital gains. That is taxed as a maximum of 15% regardless of total income. Warren Buffet issued a challenge a few years ago to the Forbes 400 to prove that anyone on that list paid more taxes by a percentage of total income than their secretary did. He even offered a million dollars to anyone who could show they do. No one did. Read this - Me and My Secretary - Forbes.com |

The proposed compromise would do no such thing. It would preserve the 99 weeks by reauthorizing Emergency Unemployment Compensation and Extended Benefits programs, which together provide up to 73 weeks of benefits beyond the standard 26 funded by states. Proposals to give the long-term unemployed in hardest-hit states an additional 20 weeks of benefits do exist, but those plans are going nowhere. |

Is the concept of Employees and Employers paying into a Insurance System lost among the intellectually challenged? |

In all honesty, he was banned for following me around the forum saying *babble* after my posts ... he only made the mistake of doing it at that time in the morning when grumpy is waking up and is PMS'd ... Hope you have a better story than that one ... |

What ever the reason, I already said I lost a lot of respect for Obama this week. Hopefully (but doubtfully) Pelosi can kill it. |

Again, why should the rich pay even more for the support of people not working for 2+ years? There are jobs out there, or all the "undocumented workers" as well as legit immigrants would be packing up and going home. Fact is we have a lot of lazy, proud Americans not willing to settle for less, and live to their means. Not the rich population's place, nor the Governments . . . to coddle them. Comparing a taxable percentage of billions of dollars to the taxable percentage of 60K is ridiculous. I'm sure the guy paying out 9 Billion of his "lower percentage" is feeling taxed enough already! I'd much rather see an additional 8 billion saved and 1 billion generated, by those 500,000 people small percentage) sitting around laughing it up, as I mentioned. |
