I think away for us to help our economy we should stop letting so many people come in to the US. Becausse we don;t have jobs for people herre so why would people come here thinking jobs are there for them. That is partcially why most people are in debt because of jobs.

I think that this is true but I also think that in order for immigrants to come here and actually find a job, we should tax the rich.

MONEY CORRUPTS PEOPLE! I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THE GOVERNMENT JUSTS SITS THERE WHILE THE RICH LAY BACK IN THERE MANSIONS AND MONEY.

THOUGH, WHILE THERE LIVING IT UP, THE 99% OF OTHER AMERICANS ARE SUFFERING! I BELIEVE SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN AND IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW! WE CANT JUST KEEP WATCHING AMERICA FALL APART IN OUR HANDS! WE NEED TO GRASP CONTROLE!

I GUESS WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, PEOPLE ARE GREEDY AND THATS WHY MONEY RULES EVERYTHING!

BEHIND EVERY COMPANY OR AN ORGANIZATION IS A MAN BEHIND A DESK COUNTING HIS CASH!

WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?

you say that the rich are corrupt and greedy and sinfu for having money. how can you say that your so much better when all you do is compain that they have more money and then you try to get the government to do something unconstitutional (witch doesnt seem to be very difficult anymore) and give YOU all that money?

Side: Against Obama's economic plan

i agree with this and it is a lot liek mine...we need to get money somehow so we can make jobs for people who are currently unemployed.

I am for Obama's plan. I think millionares can pay their taxes because I highly doubt that they need as much money as they have. Us middle class Americans work hard for not even a fraction of what they get. Plus if we have family to take care off thats just more money we need to spend.

Side: For Obama administration

I agree and it is a lot like my ideas of why we should support Obama's democratic policy

I think that taxing millionaires can help the economy. I'm not saying that millionaires should be the only ones taxed or that their taxes should be raised by so much, but I think that if they were to increase the taxes of millionaires just slightly, we would be facing slightly better economic opportunities.

They won't get more rich if they are still being taxed as much as us. They earn their money fair and square. If they go into debt, thats their problem that they aren't getting aa good job. If you have good skills, you will get good jobs. You get a good job, you get good money because you worked hard for it.

Obama's doing the right thing and has a good government policy but should tax the rich more than average Americans

Side: For Obama administration

Why tax the rich? Some of these people have worked very hard for their money and lives,,not to mention some of these have familes they provide for....and taking what they deserve away from them is wrong....also what happened to equal rights and fairness to al!!?? Helllo!

they should take money away from the rich because, yes they have worked there whole life,but they have the money to give and if they have millions and scene they have that kind of money they probably have a chain of food networks or something like that or come from alot of money kind of family, so there probably gunna get more money and why take money away from people who live in poor families and come from bad places.hey don't have the money to give.

I think that taxing the rich more is a good idea but I also agree that more immgrants come here to find a job when there aren't any. Therefore, that's why I think that taxing the rich is better so that the immigrants coming here can find a job and have a better future.

Side: For Obama administration

I agree with you Dochterman...partially... because by taxing the rich even more would help poorer families in need or any people that are less fortunate than them. However, I disagree with you though, because why should the rich be taxed if they spent their lives working their way up to be at the top? Why should working hard you're whole life end up in being taxed even more than the other people??????

Most professional atheletes get paid millions everyday. Millionares don't need all of there money to survive, while some people barely have enough money to survive. Why tax the people that don't have money? Taxing millionares is a great way to get our government back on track because they don't always need the amount of money that they have.

I am for Obama's economic plan. What he should do is tax millionaires because thats what I think would be best for the economy. People that have lots of money would deffinately be able to afford it. By doing this would help people with not that much money and be best for the economy overall.

I don't know where this statement lyes, but TAX THE MILLIONARES! It's not that hard, they barely pay taxes and its hard enough paying taxes pretty much to them. Who gave them responsibility. If we collect the taxes from the billionares, that would probably be close to the U.S deficet. Why should we be aiding them, people are homeless because of them. Seriously!

How are the people that have to pay lots of taxes without a lot of money supposed to get those jobs you guys are talking about? There are no jobs! We have to tax the rich to make those jobs so everyone can support themselves. If the government doesnt have to give so many people unemployment, maybe we can get a little farther out of debt.

I support this view because we should be taxing the millionaires to pay for our debt and expenses. They have plenty of money that they really don't need, while some Americans are hungry and living in a box. Why don't the millonaires pay as much taxes as the middle class? The middle class are the people that actually work hard to support their families, but yet, they have to pay a lot of taxes. Meanwhile, the mega rich people have enough money where they don't have to do anything, so they should be the ones paying big taxes.

I completely agree with you aja, some people work so hard for their money, and are still middleclass. Yet theyre taxed more over the rich people who either barely work or work just as hard? not rightttt.

Obamas laws on unemployment are wrong because if you loss your job, the government can't take your car or house away because you need a place and you need a car to go find a job. Some people take advantage of this law and go buy a new car.

Buy when they have so much money they can help our country get out off debt. We are not asking them to give us all of their money but they can help. Middle Class American have too little of money to be able to feed their family put cloths on their back and provide a shelter to be giving more money then they have.

I'm against Obama's policy because i think its stupid to tax the middle class, why are we constantly raising the tax anyways? If anyone it should be the upper class, who use the most money in what they do. They're the ones who have the small businesses and such things, which cost the most money to provide for and buy. Americans are already wasting our money on stupid random stuff that isn't necessary for living conditions. We should just leave the taxing alone and stop worrying about it so much. There are more important stuff like, people are dying from health care and not enough food and stuff, and we're too busy worrying about tax?! Tax's is important, but i feel like there are more important stuff Obama should be worrying about than raising tax's.

I am against Obama's plan for taxing millionaires. Why? Mainly because I don't think it will work. It is not a fair plan, to me. If you worked hard in order to make your fortune, does the government have any right to request a greater tax from you over anyone else? Why should an individual who gained his/her wealth legitimately, through hard work and determination, be forced to surrender a larger sum of money to the government?

if you tax the rich, you end up destroying the capitalist system, and the middle class gets even less money. lets make this simpler. paul has an idea for a buisness, he acts on that idea and makes lots of money on the FREE market. in other words, a makret that is NOT completely controlled by the government. in order to make more money paul hires johnny, johnny works and earns money,but not quite as much as paul. johnny wants more money so he hires henry and samanthatha, who each earn part of johnnys money....and so on (ect) until it gets to you. if we get rid o all pauls money then he has to fire johnny and johnny has to fire henry and samantha... and so on (ect) until you get fired and your worse off than before

I disagree with Obama's policy becasue i dont think that its right that when you lose your job that the government takes your house and your cars. I think that they should make some sort of plan to allow a certain amount of time for someone to get back on there feet and try again

Side: Against Obama's economic plan

I think that it isnt necessarily right for Obama to just tax the millionaires but if it just for a while to earn the money or the new ifistructures and roads and everything, then i guess i support it. All of us are worried about money and jobs while the millionares are just sitting there and are pretty much promised a job, so they should do something once in a while to help the people in a lower class than them. If his plans will make jobs than they should tax the millionares, then once more jobs are created then they can stop taxing the millionares.
