The rich should pay their share of the taxes They prosper from this society. here's who pays the taxes... Top 1% $388,806 and up 39.89% Top 5% $153,542 and up 60.14% Top 10% $108,904 and up 70.79% Top 25% $64,702 and up 86.27% Top 50% $31,987 and up 97.01% Bottom 50% <$31,987 2.99 Why dont you show how the top 1% incomes have increasd while the bottom %99 has decreased or became stagnant!!!! Trickle down economics dosnt work!!!!! Thats been proven in the Reagan and Bush years....

Rich or poor... How cares. Bottom line... Congress received enough phone calls, emails, letters and angry comments that they KNEW americans by a vast majority DID NOT WANT ANY OF PART OF THE BAILOUT... (By some estimates 90% said no. Even the lowest estimates placed the number above 70%) That is what the tea parties should be all about. Congress choose to ignore The voice of all of us and do what they wanted to do. That ammounts to NO REAL representation. which is part of the reason we exist as a nation... So put aside that partisian nonsense and lets get real. As long as we can be forced to argue bout 'whos at fault.. ' We will miss the bigger picture... Which is IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF THEM - we won't have a voice in our government. It is time to cull the congress and senate and remove anyone not providing the US Citizen with the representation that is expected by all of us. Problem is... I can only work on it from my state... Yet we got states that continue to send rabid theives (even in the face of common sense and reason). What good is a tea party... If you ain't willing to back it up with a vote when the time comes. What good is the vote, though, when the choices is who runs and who they give us to vote for?? They keep it so they do not have to focus on change. Raising one voice to contest what they do is as important if not more so than voting at this point.

THE POINT IS....we have a right to meet, protest, discuss whatever if we disagree with the taxes

THE POINT IS....we have a right to meet, protest, discuss whatever if we disagree with the taxes I would reexamine thinking we have the right to meet and protest. Remember what happened in Seattle when folks gathered to protest at the World Trade Center? According to The Patriot Act, if the Feds determine a gathering or protest is deemed Anti- Government, they can take whatever action they deem necessary to squelch the movement.

Ive never voted for a republican presidential nominee. The hell with the party. They are no different than the libtards. They both lie, steal, and cheat.

All of government is out of touch. The bi-partisan fight is the means to keeping the public confused.

Someone tell me the last time either of the so called ethics committees ever did anything to one of their fellow members besides a slap on the wrist. Its a joke. Until their is an independent commission to oversea what the hell goes on in congress, its never going to change. NEVER...

NEVER... you are right. maybe the people can get the ball rolling and when they see they aren't as popular as they want to and they may not be re-elected then they will do something...as long as the people take the country back from politicians
