Just another campaign speech, but a very expensive one. The unbearable price being paid is the unity of our nation and society.
Instead of always referring to "those who make over $250,000 per year" in the same sentence with "The One Percent", why doesn't Obama hold up for hatred and demonization the names of
Bill Gates - $59 Billion
Warren Buffet - $39 Billion
George Soros - $22 Billion
Mark Zuckerberg - $17.5 Billion
Steve Jobs - $7 Billion
Oprah Winfrey - $2.7 billion (and imagine that with this net worth, she ranks #139 in the Forbes list of 400 Richest Americans)
The Richest People in America List - Forbes
It is sickening to see our friends, neighbors and relatives who work themselves to the bone to run a small business,
hire people, and yes, earn $250k per year that they report for PERSONAL income tax at the
highest rate.....to be lumped in with the likes of the list above...
....
as though the small business person is taxed at the same "low" rate as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet!
The distortion in the talk is mind-boggling.
