Not a big deal?! You think raising taxes for the rich is not a big deal?!
I'm gonna show you something, and I don't think you're gonna like it!

This month, Glenn Beck was hoping to have a gold-plated shark tank bar installed right next to the pool, but thanks to Obama's tax increases for the rich, he must now wait a few months before he can afford it. Come. There's more. Paris Hilton used to have a Gulfstream IV private jet. Now she's had to sell it and get a Gulfstream III because you liberals want to steal money from the wealthy. The Gulfstream III doesn't even have a remote control for its surround-sound DVD system. Still think increasing taxes for the rich is no big deal?
Now we have a successful businessman living in Beverly Hills. Tomorrow is his son's birthday and all he's ever wanted was an island in French Polynesia. Now, thanks to Obama's tax cuts, I see an island without an owner. If things keep going the way they are, the child will not get his tropical paradise.
Liberals must learn to think of these horrible outcomes before they acts selfishly or else... I fear... the wealthiest 1% of this country will be forever doomed to a life of only semi-luxury.

(:sarcasm: for those who can't tell, and bonus points if you know what this is a reference to)

2. They are free to move elsewhere. Then they will find out
what taxation brings a society. If they move to Europe, they will pay more taxes, but have a similar experience. If they move to some tax havens, they will not be able to enjoy the perks that come with living in America.
