No one has proposed taking all the fatcats money.

The proposal is to tax them at around 33% on income over $250,000.

Nor has anyone said that anyone proposed so.  We've gone over this strawman attempt of yours, already


The proposal is to tax them at around 33% on income over $250,000.

No, the proposal is in ADDITION to the already higher income tax they pay, that they are ALSO taxed HIGHER on their investments/capital gains. 

MOST folks who are making just over 250K are NOT merely living on their investments, like Soros.  They are generating an income, by virtue of the job they managed to raise up in, or the business they run, not to mention the employees they hire, to help run it.  You and Obama not only want higher income taxes on them (which are ALREADY HIGHER than "the poor"), you want higher capital gains taxes on them so Soros & Obama can feel better about the distortion of their being taxed less than his Secretaries.  Nevermind the checkbook they both have that could solve their guilt complex

But as the quote clearly helps highlight, the frequent efforts to criticize Romny, is based on nothing more than he has made alot of money.  Why should anyone care, much less be angry, as long as he earned it legally??  the FAR MORE EGREGIOUS ACT GOING ON HERE IS WHAT OBAMA AND THE DEMS ARE DOING WITH ALL OF OUR MONEY, AS OUR DEBT AND DEFICITS GO COMPLETELY GREECE-LIKE OUT OF CONTROL

    You think that Capitol gains should be taxed at 33%?

     Seems as if this would impede the retirement plans of many middle class.

   Suppose it happens that the tax rates become just as President Obama and Warren Buffet reccomend, is it not true that the increase in revenue has no potential for being enough to meet the need ?
