#1 That's socialism - you serve the state and should be damn proud to do so.

However, Joe leaves out the 'other' people who believe the state serves the people.

#2 Although %1000 tax for the CEOs of AIG, Fannie May, Freddie Mac might be appropriate....

#3 I think not committing armed robbery via Acts of Congress is a patriotic act.

#4 Didn't we fight a revolution against higher taxes some 230ish years ago?

So ... it would be better argued that it is more patriotic to fight against high taxes. Or revolt against them.
Geeze the dhimocrats are full going for pure socialism this year.

#6 "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

-in other words, it's time to punish you for being good at what you do and for continually making good decisions in your life. You need to buck up and shoulder those who don't.

Biden's an idiot.

#8 "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs."

And this from Instapundit

Biden calls paying higher taxes a patriotic act. You mean like this? Biden gave average of $369 to charity a year

Boy, talk about reinforcing the "stereotype" of spending someone else's money.

#9 Lead the way, Joe. Lead on. I'll follow later. When I have too much money.

#10 Because as we all know, America was founded on the desire to pay taxes.
