Florida billionaire warns employees about voting for Obama, says he may have to fire them if the president is re-elected
David Siegel, CEO of Westgate Resorts, defended his email meant to 'educate' employees, saying it was not a threat. He said other employers afraid to do the same have privately expressed their support.

While he's more than likely an asshole, he has every right to be.  He played the game the right way and doesn't liked being taxed to death, it is his right.  I support his right but not his decision although I understand.

Oh boy, how much time you got?  I can do this for a living.

I'll say this cause I'm about go get some poontang (no pay).  
The unregulated derivatives market is what will cause the dollar to crash.  It's all orchestrated though.  The fed is just pumping money into it to artificially hold it up (See QE1, QE2, and now QE3...Quantitative Easing)  All this does is flood the market with more of our dollars and causes the value of it to decrease.  This can only go on so long, but since it's planned to bring in a world currency and New World Order ran by Corporations around the world by the elites, this is not a problem in their mind.

When they are ready, they'll pull the plug and there will be economic collapse on a global scale. They've bought up most of the Gold and Silver and this the new currency will be backed by this.  All this is planned, we can't say we werent warned.  Elitist Elder Bush warned us when he was president....Youtube it.

As far December 21st goes, it's getting closer and things are getting worse.  I have no doubt they know the significance of this date and have made plans around it.  We'll be at our solar peak and if things get as bad as they are alleged to get, it could fuck alot things up....This date will not pass without it affecting everyone on this planet...  How's that for a teaser?...........BTW it can't be reversed at this point....

no, your totally right, 3% increase on people making 250k in profit(after deductions and all expenses are taking into account) per year  is just absolutely crippling and certainly not something the economy or an individual could deal with.

1) Organized labor had much larger inroads in the workplace.
2) New Deal structures were still fully in place which allowed wealth to trickle down more effectively to the middle class.

Exactly. He could cash out at any time and retire in style, but he apparently likes what he does. His employees can be fired at any time and will then be relegated to poverty. I think they have a bit more to be worried about.

Which is why he makes the big bucks. There is something to be said for being able to just shrug it off at 5 o'clock. I own my own business, and believe me, sometimes it owns me. I treat my employees fair, and they are all on salary except my secretary. That being said, some of the literature that I receive, such as from the NFIB, states that with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts, that a substantial amount of the write offs will be capped/done away with. So, that 3% you speak of seems to be a bit of a rouse. Certain things that my company owns, are things that I need personally, such as pick up trucks etc. Now, I'm not Leona Helmsley putting travertine floors in my house and saying it was in one of my hotels, but I do enjoy certain write offs that benefit me personally as well as in business. The fact is, and I've said it before, my reason for voting for Romney, is not because I think that Obama is evil, or that he is purposely bankrupting our country, but because of what his constituents from the bottom end who vote for him represent. I vote for who I identify with, and who seems to be doing the best for MY interest. Until we become a fascist state, I will continue to do that until I am forced to vote for the good of the group and not myself.

It's entirely significant to those on the bubble of 250k.

For people with a mortage, kids, commuting expenses, etc...a 7,500 drop in income is big.

That's extra money left over that can go to paying a landscaper instead of doing it yourself, paying someone for laundry service, extra nights at restaurants, etc...  Money that helps more than those who earned it.

Years ago I worked for a railroad.. I was told under no circumstances could anyone praise or endorse George bush.. They gave us all Kerry pins to wear.. One guy told me that if anyone stated out loud that they were republican they , the union, would find a way to get rid of you.. No different really..
Did your union make you work all the live long day?

top marginal tax rate in 1950 = 90%   

top marginal tax rate today= 35%


which period experienced better growth ?

 ;D

No one payed anywhere near 90% due to all the loopholes, which there were many.  You don't know anything about history so stop quoting it like you do.

So what this guy is doing is basically what the Unions always do...steering votes through fear of losing their jobs and benefits.

Maybe it's the others fault because they don't have enough. Since when did they become entitled to the money I earned?

The consumer should pay the tax, not the earner.  1% federal sales tax, no federal income tax.  Slash government to a bare minimum, no more social programs.  Go to your family, local charity, church, etc. if help is needed.

Even if you took every single dollar from the top 1%, you have between 600 and 700 billion...witch wouldn't pay for 1 year of OBAMA debt.

Think you missed the point. How much is too much? and everything is taxed and double taxed. Federal tax, state tax, income tax, sales tax, property tax, capitol gains tax, death tax, etc

It's already too much.  10% flat tax is plenty.  Death tax and capitol gains tax are not necessary.  As far as state income tax, everyone has the option to move to a more fiscally responsible state, and they should.

  i understand, you think that increased taxes by 3% on people who make over 250k per year is going to damage the economy in a significant way.



What you are not seeing is it is mostly not single individuals but small businesses in these brackets.  There are a very large amount of small  businesses that still file at the individual level where that 3% means a hell of a lot.  This is how it is crippling and a big deal.

Noone is arguing that a single person with that amount shouldn't care much but when that now also represents a business as well, everything changes.  3% + or - could make or break a business.

I know fuck-all about the US tax system, but I assumed we were talking about income tax? In which case this argument wouldn't hold, would it?
