#1 Well, he may not be at war with radical Islam but he's definitely at war with the middle class.

Seems by the time the definition of rich is finalized it is a lot of folks a lot further down the chain than Warren Buffet or the Prexy of Chase Manhattan.

I can remember when the Clintonistas floated a tax the rich scheme. When it was announced, it turned out my $150,000 taxable household income, and home ownership made me "rich" and subject to the pillage and plunder provisions of that scheme.

Much like it appears it is with this. Almost $2Trillion in new taxes, supposedly "tax the rich" but when you read them, you realize that just about anyone with a retirement account, stock, or plans to sell their home and downsize in retirement is going to pay a whopper of a tax bill when they decide to tap into those assets.

#2 Oh and I forgot even with the $2.0 Trillion in new taxes, the budget projects an $875 Billion deficit....

So what's the national debt now?

#6 Spending other peoples money is fun.

BTW, inflation is just another form of taxing by way of reducing the value of your income.

#9 How will we pay for "it", whatever "it" is? The old-fashioned way, by borrowing money, money which will never be re-paid.

#10 This just in - women and children hit hardest by the Plan

President Obama released his $4 trillion fiscal year 2016 budget proposal Monday, and in it he outlined some ambitious health care initiatives to improve efficiency and eliminate waste. But buried a little bit deeper is a $50 million cut to one of the U.S.’s longstanding vaccine programs for the under- and un-insured. - cite
