Pelosi wants U and I to pay more taxes.... her statement: "I wish they(working people) would make more, so we can tax more."

That's not at all what she said. The media filter you get your news from took her quote out of context because they knew you'd lap it up like a toddler gulping anti-freeze from the fridge.

So you want to know what she said but then you really can't be bothered and you've heard all you can take from her. Is that about right?  |

gulp......I agree with Pelosi...
Addressing the percentage of taxpayers who do not pay any income tax, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said these Americans have “skin in the game” since “they pay payroll taxes,” adding, “I wish they would earn more so they can pay more.”
“Well, you know, they do pay taxes. They pay payroll taxes. And this is a tactic that the other side uses to make it sound as if these people are not paying taxes. They are paying taxes. They do have skin in the game. And I think that that should be respected,” said Pelosi at the Capitol Thursday.
“I wish they would earn more so they can pay more, and that’s what we’re about, the creation of good-paying jobs in our country that contribute to our international competitiveness to keep America number one.”
In 2009, 51 percent of American taxpayers did not owe any income tax. The number reportedly dropped to 45 percent in 2010.

So, it didn't need spin then, right?
Thats the crux of the argument. Revenue, under the current tax code was higher in the past b/c the economy was better.... so now, the difference is what to do to make up the difference. Cut everything in sight, raise taxes... OR
Something in between...
