"Dear Wealthy Fucks: Fuck you. Yours in Christ, the Black Guy"

[Josephus]

There is no possible answer that would satisfy you.

True. I can't think of answer to why anyone should be excited about our President saying (in the words of the Seedster) fuck you to wealthy people.

I would be excited if that were the case. But alas he just wants to tax their capital gains not string them by their hairy cocks. 

[garbon]

Kind of like this thread, no?

You're more than welcome to discuss your pube shaving habits if you like instead.

No, I think I'll go out soon to party and await better Languish threads.

Yeah, no wins unless you are tearing somebody down, huh?

Since saying "fuck you to wealthy people" is defined as raising taxes on the ultra-rich, I am glad we can agree that there is no answer that would satisfy someone as ideologically inflexible as you are when they ask "Why is it a good idea to raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy?"

No, I think it can be okay to raise taxes on people of any background - including the "ultra"-wealthy. Not sure why taxes raises are automatically a great thing though.

In fact, one could ask (thought not someone as ideologically inflexible as myself) why it is that someone would think raising taxes is a "fuck you."

[CountDeMoney]

why it is that someone would think raising taxes is a "fuck you."

Because they have gotten away with playing their little tax games long enough.  So yeah, it's a "fuck you".  So they're just going to have to play by a few more rules now, like the rest of us are required to.

What does it matter?  Won't the Republicans just pass massive tax cuts in an effort to defund the government?

[Admiral Yi]

I would be excited if that were the case. But alas he just wants to tax their capital gains not string them by their hairy cocks. 

Why would you be happy if the president said fuck you to wealthy people?

God, Yi, you are so ideologically inflexible.

[Jacob]

Obama can propose all he wants, but he needs Congress to implement it, no? And Congress needs him to sign whatever they pass, right?

So this is staking out a starting position for bargaining, much further away from the Republican one back when he tried being the "responsible adult" and they shut down the government.

Or did I miss something?

Then your question makes no sense.

Not sure why taxes raises are automatically a great thing though.

Not sure why you would think anyone claimed they were automatically a great thing - but that isn't what you said. You made it clear that raising them are automatically a bad thing.

In fact, one could ask (thought not someone as ideologically inflexible as myself) why it is that someone would think raising taxes is a "fuck you."

If one were to ask that, then their question makes even less sense.

I think it's more accurate to characterize it as running it up the flagpole to see who salutes and/or red meat for the partisan base as opposed to an opening bargaining position.  He does this all the time--tosses out an idea in the context of nothing.

[garbon]

I recall asking why it was a positive. I suppose I could have assumed Seedy meant it as a negative but that would have been dishonest, no?

If one were to ask that, then their question makes even less sense.

There will be no bargain.  You can't bargain with people who won't even recognized that the man is the legal president or believe that taxes on the richest Americans is a form of racism.
