#2 Rich like me, thus saith The One... And thus saith Byonce, demeaning the wealth of The Romney, 'cause his total wealthy if far less than her half billion.... oh, the plight of the poor.

How about channeling some of that angst, backed by funds, to those "I voted for Obama 'cause he so managed Sandy" to those people who may not have voted for Obama, stranded on Long Beach, Staten Island, and other small towns/communities in the North East?

Oh, I forget, ya'll all did a big TV benefit, so others could give of their funds.

Now, go get back into you Prius Limousine.... as you wave your next IRS tax bill that you are so gladly paying for the "Tax on the Rich."

#3 "Obama says fines for working must increase on most productive"

Guess what will happen?

#1 Most productive will work less.
#2 Most productive will employ less.
#3 Most productive will invest abroad.

#8 Given that Obama won 8 of the 10 wealthiest counties in the US, I'd say make them live up to their own words. Remove all deductions and write-offs on incomes greater than 500K. Oh, and repeal the Hollywood Tax Cuts while you're at it. Do it for the children.

#11 If you're working, and not either union or for the government, then you are a target. If you're rich enough you can buy an exemption with appropriate contributions and support.

#15 'Fee' increases don't have to be voted on by Congress, just imposed by government agencies, and they can be substantial.
