these wealthy americans get no stimulus money, they get no child tax credit - thats limited to those making less than 150K per coulple, everyone lese gets $1000 per child back in their pocket. Also by limiting the deducitons, they will have HIGHER taxable income. Thats in addition to their higher rates. Add up the fact that they have limited deductions, resulting in a higher base for tax, NO tax credits for children, NO stimulus rebates. These wealthy people get no government assistance, they will have to pay EVERY DIME of their childrens education. Every dime of elderly care for their aging parents. But Obama is goign to f**k these people for working hard while giving THEM NOTHING. This is insane. He and many of YOU scoffed during the debates when it was said he was redistibuting wealth. HE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then what is your solution to resolving the current economic situation - raise taxes for everyone equally? So the struggling family that hasn't seen a pay raise in 2 years because of the economy and faced with a rising cost of living should be hit with the same tax increases as the wealthy family who, if responsible with their money, should not have to be worried about losing their house or how they're going to put food on the table?
You can't get water from stone, but let's try and get more money from people who are already struggling.
