I think people on welfare shouldn't get our money. They need to support themselves and GET A JOB. But Obama should Not raise taxes cause there are some people who do make more money but are barely getting by.

Get over it..Obama is the President now!!!

you are not a first generation american!!! But honestly people Obama is president...get used to it the same way we working class people had to when Bush was president. No one is stealing your money or attempting socialism or communism..these are all tactics of the republicans to scare others, but really people get used to it. If obama wants it done then it will be done!! Bottom line!!! Also to a comment from before who said people who dont work hard should not get government handouts...everyone that does not make 250,000 a year are not lazy. their are things in this world called racism, sexism, etc. that stop people from advancing as far as "you have". i think people have come to mistake capitalism for selfishness which is not what it is. you work and make your own money...its not like we are splitting your check with joe over here..youo are simply being taxed at the same degree as those who are less fortunate than you.

Re: Your Argument is Ridiculous

Mr. David,

I understand that you have an opinion, and that you feel like you are being "cheated" by the government. But, i believe that as an American citizen, it is only right to give respect to your Commander In Chief. I have always been taught that once a leader has been appointed over you, you must respect them even if you have differing opinions on a subject. This does not mean that you should not voice your opinions, our freedoms [including the freedoms of speech and press] are protected by the Constitution. I am just pleading for more respect towards our elected official. Mr. Daniel David will probably never read this statement but it should serve as a constant reminder to all those who do stumble upon it, that we should set an example for the younger ones and always show respect towards our leaders.

Social Security increase for the rich.

This is a great idea. I also am concerned about seniors who only recieve benefits from their spouse when a death occurs. After paying in social security taxes the surviing spouse is unable to collect what they have paid. The expenses are almost the same as far as living expenses go and in this economy it is getting harder and harder to live on a $1000.00 a month.

The hidden truth

I earn more than $250,000 always have, always will even past my own death. So I have paid the maximum into the system and probably always will. If I elect to take my retirement benefit at age 62, I will not be eligible as I exceed the income allowance. When I get to age 66 I will be entitled to the "full benefit" but my social security taxes on my income under the currect plan will exceed my benefit. Tell me again how I am "not paying my fair share"????

OK Obama, just leave my money alone. I earned it, paid taxes on it all my life and I am entitled to try to keep some of it later in life. It is NOT welfare, it is a contract I entered into where I BUY insurance. I paid, now honor your side of the agreement. The Robin Hood stuff will backfire I promise you!

Daniel David, Your Argument is Ridiculous

Daniel David - You are an Idiot. You are acting like it is the same exact people who received a "tax cut" in 2001/2003 as would be subject to the huge tax increases Obama is proposing now. News Alert: Some of us who grew up in struggling working class families who were the first generation to go to college are just NOW, after years of hard work and sacrifice, finally enjoying the fruits of our labor. Now Obama wants to take it all away from us. What happened to the American Dream??? Where is the incentive to work hard? It makes me want to take my children and leave this once-great nation before it is looted and destroyed by idiot socialists like you and Obama and ends up like Argentina.
