Haven't the wealthy had a decade to save up?
That's a pretty straight-forward talking point in my opinion.

2. NO!
They've had since the early 1980s when Ronnie Raygun dropped the top tax rates. Under Clinton, top tax rates were the highest in about the last 30 years, and that was the period of greatest prosperity in that time.

9. You're right. Greed is a bona-fide addiction...
just like alcoholism, meth addiction or people that can't stop gambling.

6. They need just a little longer to get the market back to 14,000.
Then we can talk about taxes.

11. The "wealthy" really means transnational corporations in terms of the Republican base,
lobbying for billions and billions of dollars in tax credits and deductions, subsidies, and profit enabling deregulation. Quarter after quarter, it's about the profits.

Tragically for us, these multinationals have zero allegiance to the American people.
