Give Cole some credit. He knows his fellow Donkeycrats are dumb enough to believe his bullshit. He's only playing to an ignorant audience.

If you want a bigger government, everybody has to have some skin in the game. That's why health insurance has copays. Even if they don't need the $50, the user has to have some disincentive to overuse.

When you only tax the rich, there is no disincentive against everyone else voting themselves endless benefits from the public fisc.

Well, I suppose there's the eventual, mathematically inevitable collapse. But we're talking about Democrats here, so the penalty has to be a little more Pavlovian.

Given our government's apparent inability to maintain some semblance of fiscal responsibility, I am increasingly frustrated that because I happen to have a good income I am expected to pay even more, while others who receive this governmental largesse pay at the continued, lower rates.

I highly doubt Mr. Cole is savvy enough to understand that with the intricacies of the "cliff" that we have sidled up against, out of pocket expenses for everyone is going to go up, largely thanks to the "affordable" care act and insurance co-pays, etc.

Wonder what Mr. Cole considers the "fair share" of a millionnaire to be??? Actually, I wonder how he would define "fair". Obviously, not the way any rational, thinking person would define it.

Well, at least Cole is saying something for his side around Mississippi. As for the other side, the one that holds both US Senate seats and 3 out of the 4 House seats, they voted schizo to say the least, Thad and Wicker voting one way, the 3 MS House members of the same party voting the other way. How do y'all so called strong Republican conservatives around here 'splain that? Maybe only reason the 3 House members voted that way was for fear of being primaried from the right, maybe?

@ 4:47. Exactly! Republicans can't or won't govern. If not for the Democrats in the Senate, income taxes would have gone up on everyone January 1.

I have been in favor of a flat tax for many decades. That said, this five minutes the middle class is disappearing and to recover economically, we must turn that around.
A strong middle class is key to a good economy. It always has been the case and always will be the case.
If a society turns their working middle class into " have nots" through economic greed of the upper classes, the former middle class will be the people who lead the poor to the Bastille or the Czar's palace. You may end up with a better system if benevolent leadership replaces the old or you may end up with a gullotine, an Ayatollah or Stalin.

10:13 Name one country that has taxed its way into prosperity.

Typical Democrat lies. Republicans have made it clear that they'd like to lower taxes to stimulate the economy. We're just not very good at deflecting the blame for the Democrats' mistakes.

F*** the feds. And F*** the state governments that follow the feds lead.

Really?! meople? Do you think that comment is wise?

my gawd ya'll! democrats really are stupid!

I will be enforcing the 28th ammendment throghout this year. My new years resolution is to get the government to understand that they are not entitled to anything that the citizens of this country are not entitled to and nor are the people subject to any shotty laws that the government passes that doesnt apply to them. i know we have senators, congressmen, judges and entertainers who read this blog. The 28th ammandment is the only leg we stand on to reverse this sh**. SUCK IT 10:45 PM

does anybody know a good lawyer willing to fight "the good fight" against the crapsticks who make such laws knowing it is unconstitutional.
