Remember when all the high tech world supported the Dems
How blind they were to the brutal fact of life that progressivism has a voracious appetite for ever increasing tax revenue that would ultimately mean total control of the economy.

They thought the Dems would exempt them. They didn't understand that libs hate anyone successful
Remember Obama's famous words to entrepeneurs:
"You didn't build that".
Once again, Baron fails to do his homework...the Romney campaign left out a few words from Obama's
speech...i.e. the government funded American Infrastructure (e.g. Bridges and Roads...like Ike...and later Biden did...or 'DARPA' research on the Internet (re: ARPANET), AI, Semiconductors, GPS, Robotics, Cloud Computing, Biotech, and many other industries...including NASA that enabled Elon Musk to hire experienced scientists and engineers)
Were it not for such 'High Risk' use of taxpayer money, today's wealthy owners wouldn't be able to build any companies in those industries.
Now, here is what Obama actually said...note the mention of Bridges and Roads...one example of Infrastructure enabling businesses to be built)
"Proud To Pay More"...click on the 'Signatures' list...
'There will always be the Greedy among us'....who refuse to pay their fair share.
To claim that Dems are coming after the Low and Middle Classes is pure fabrication and smoke to distract from the harm caused by our burgeoning Wealth Gap. The very successful signees to the "Proud To Pay More" movement are looking to avert harm to the nation...not cause it. Take time to understand why they have taken this position...

Do you voluntarily pay more tax?
(no message)
No one does that...I vote for Representatives and Senators who want to amend our tax laws
to accomplish that end...so far, the GOP has been standing in the way.
And they shall pay more and more and more... to make up for those who left.
There are hundreds of Millionaires and Billionaires who signed onto "Proud To Pay More"...here
is one of them...

I have no problem with any level of taxation in California
If the majority of voters want ever higher taxes to pay for whatever the politicians desire they are free to open their pocketbooks and live with the consequences. It’s called States Rights and I support it.
There are genuine needs, Curly, that philanthropy can’t be counted on to meet…as
Described in an earlier post…sorry that doesn’t get your attention.
They are free to do so. But forcing others to do the same is not freedom.

It's the right thing to do...clearly, too many refuse to concern themselves with the Greater Good of
our states and nation...
btw, you should know that Greed is one of the "Seven Deadly Sins"...why would you want to support it?
You equate wealth with greed. Another lie. Ever hear of philanthropy?
Or using wealth to create jobs? Or fund civic institutions?
Begone Satan (BS).
Hear is another perspective on choosing 'Philanthropy' as a solution to social needs...

The smell of your horse crap offends everyone. It is not to be mistaken for cogent thought.

I certainly have heard of philanthropy, and have learned it's insufficient in meeting societal needs
...as the attached article explains...
For example, our nations needs are highly divers and there are significant gaps existing because independent philanthropists don't resonate with them...among other reasons...

It’s BS crap. You must have conceded the other two
