I didn't realize there are so many people earning over $250,000 to raise the money for this scheme. Obama said NO ONE will see a tax increase unless you make over $250k.

What's another trillion when the US already has $63 trillion in unfunded obligations? *Somebody's* grandchild will surely pay for it all. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Is it 2010 yet? The tree of liberty needs refreshing. Anyone know a good pitchfork supplier?

All of you Americans who wanted the well-off to be punished by Obama's tax hikes get what you deserve.

What goes around, comes around. Suckers!
