-"Shouldn't the wealthy support our nation the same as the middle class?"

You can't be serious. Not only do they support the nation the same, but much more. Everyone knows that the more you make the higher the tax bracket, the higher the tax rate goes.
"Even Warren Buffet wonders why he pays a lower tax rate than his employees."
-Do you pay taxes on money you already have or money that you make? If you have already have millions, you are not continually paying taxes on that money. Buffet knows this, and knows his money would not be effected by a tax increase.
-"Did the Wealthy earn the massive tax cuts that George W. Bush granted them?"
They do not need to "earn" the right to keep more of the MONEY THEY ALREADY EARNED.
You should try to actually think for yourself once in awhile.-

There is no amount of pretzel twists you can come up with to make it seem that someone making $1 MILLION should pay a LOWER tax rate than someone making $50,000.
Only someone prone to rationalizing immoral behaviors could pull that off.
Besides, in addition to a lower tax rate ... the wealthiest 1% have so many tax dodges ... they pay even less than their set rate.
Plus . ... ... many more are simply not paying taxes.
George W. Bush, early in his term .. cut the IRS staff IN HALF that monitors the tax returns of people making over $1 Million a year.
My question to you is ... when did you become such a non-thinking apologist for Moral Vacancy?
Or does Moral Vacancy come naturally to you?

Oh ... by the way ... over 70% of the wealthiest Americans got their wealth by INHERITANCE ... so I wouldn't go overboard idealizing these people as having some 'Midas Touch'.
LOL!!!
Please .. .. .. do us all a big favor .. .. .. give your brain a kick start before you continue spewing Extremist Drivel.
You are making yourself look like a 'tool'.-

Why? Because you didn't argue against one of my points, nor give any evidence to backup your claims?-

Well there are always two sides to a fence, and many ways to look at only one side if that is your wish.

The trend for the last 2-3 decades has been that the middle class dwindles as the rich get richer.
Your points are the here and now, but what many believe what Obama is up to is try and reverse the process that got you to the hear and now.
Gama, a very smart man who comments from Europe, submitted an article which shows; that even in this economic mess, CEO's and bosses on wall street are prepared to give themselves$70 billion in bonuses to themselves this year.
Now why would it be wrong of Obama to try and limit this so some of those obvious frauds stop getting richer at tax payers expense.
On the other side, yes there are many who abuse the system and are welfare cases.
Both sides have their crooks, but I would rather pay taxes and help one poor individual than make some millionaire a billionaire.
