Why does Obama only want to give a tax break to the middle class ?

Question

what about the rich ?...don't they deserve a tax break too ?

Answer 1

A democrat giving a tax break? don't make me laugh.

Answer 2

BEcause he knows that the majority of his votes come from middle class Americans.  

Answer 3

No the rich are already getting too many tax breaks.

Answer 4

  What for? So they can write off the dollar they paid the illegal migrant to

cut their grass?  McCain is all for ya!

Answer 5

That is were the votes are

Answer 6

He wants to take the money from the rich and give it too the poor so that everyone will get elevated to a higher tax bracket in the future.

BTW, will his definition of rich ($250,000/yr for a family of 4) stay the same or adjust with inflation.  Because, if he does get elected, in 8 yrs from now there will be a whole lot more families making $250,000 then there are right now.

Answer 7

i think that obama wants to put the screws to the largest amount of money that he can find a solid majority to rally against, and of course the rich is where we keep the money, (kinda like robbing banks), when the top 1% is making 40,000 and crapping in outdoor latrines, he will be pushing to rob them as well

the majority of obama's votes will not come from middle america, they will come from lazy socialists

Answer 8

The rich already get all the tax breaks as well as the offshore accounts to avoid paying any tax.

Answer 9

Doesnt matter who he gives a tax break too he will only raise taxes on some one else.  Lets say he raises the rate on the top brackets ok what happens next? The rich guys will stop any new hirings will raise the prices of their services will lay off workers etc . So ya the middle class will need a tax cut to help them when they are layed off or paying higher prices for goods and services that have been taxed at a higher rate.  A good business is just going to pass any tax increase along to the end consumer and that will affect everyone and everything across the board.

Answer 10

I highly doubt you're the top 1%.  They've got people to watch out  for them.  Worry about yourself.

Answer 11

He likes Warren Buffett's plan...Tax the heck out of everybody and re-distribute.

Answer 12

Rich people don´t pay taxes, didn't you know that? They would much rather pay a tax expert and a tax lawyer to get them out of paying as many taxes as they can.

The middle class is caught in the middle, as usual, with no tax breaks and very little money for expensive tax maneuvering. The motor of many economies is precisely the middle class, but riches are so unequally distributed that there are privileges for the rich and for the poor, but not for the middle class. I remember hearing about the crunch on the middle class for at least thirty years, and coincidentally, this was more patent during the oil crisis of the seventies.

Unfortunately, I do not believe in coincidences. I believe that those who are rich and in power want to stay that way, without any new players joining the club, so let the others pay. There is also much to be said for the Bush administration which by far, must be the worst ever.
