@Brent: Unfortunately, higher taxes are coming just to pay for all of the bailouts and rescues. The question is how much the Democrats will pile on to pay for other re-distribution of wealth programs.

@ HS – What sounds better? Higher taxes? Please.

@Brian – Your point is a good one. Lots of the ultra-wealthy seem to reach a point where they feel guilty about what they have and then decide that everyone needs to give up wealth to compensate.

It might just be me, but it seems like the people who beleive in wealth redistribution always seem to be at either the top or bottom of the heap and rarely at the middle of the economic ladder. If Robert was really serious he would/should pay that tax of 50-70 percent. I’m also sure that a look at his tax returns would show a low contribution rate of charity giving, because his mindset is the Government is the awnser to all problems.

This still sounds better to me that 4 more years of bush policies!!

Obama will bring the economy back, no doubt about that.

Wow, that is scary. I cannot for the life of me understand why people feel the need to penalize those that have lived the American Dream and done well for themselves. Why work hard to make money, let the rich people pay for the things I want.
