It's kinda funny how many people actually think you have to make over $200k to be taxed by Obama's plan. His prior voting records shows he'll tax anyone that actually pays taxes, which starts at $42k/year. Even his own campaign promises started at anything over $300k/year and got down to $150k/year, so all this crap about "sticking it to the CEO's" is crap. Half of my friends make over $150k/year, none of them are CEO's.

And paying more taxes will help? We couldn't pay enough taxes to cover the trillions in spending Obama is already proposing. Say you go out to your favorite watering hole and your beer is normally $4. The bartender decides it'd be better for him to charge $5 for that beer because now he could spend more. Does paying that extra dollar make your beer taste better? Will the bartender treat you better for it? By some of the comments here, I'd guess you would happily pay $5 for your beer when it was $4 and nothing else changed but the price. But in reality, I'd bet you'd take your business elsewhere.

And a quick history lesson. What president did the economy flourish the most under, Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan? Take a guess which one raised taxes and which one lowered them.
