Ha, yeah to to exact, Obama wanna increase tax on those making $250k+, which is about the top 1.5%. But 98.5% vs 1.5% isn't as catchy or sound as nice as 99% vs 1%. You know Obama and his Hope and Change, he gotta have a catchy simple line so his disciples can follow.
If you have decent degree, good experience and career track, making $250k in a dual income family isn't atypical. I have my ms engineering and MBA with 10+ years consulting experience and my wife top 5 MBA with 10+ experience in corporate finance easily make that. Most our friends with dual income and similar background, easily make that. My engineering friends living in Silicon Valley, dual income easily make that. None of us do any lobbying, or do anything special other than going to work, come home to our family like the rest of American.
You know how it is, those fvcking politicians run the country to the ground and they gotta find someone to blame. They gotta have their catchy phrase to get their mob to follow. Now Obama got his mob with no idea exactly what they are doing, no agenda, no plan, just bunch of finger pointing at the easy picking 1%.

And if your taxes went up by 5% of the earnings over $250K, it'd break your balls off, right?
Make no mistake, that's what we're really talking about, that's what the President has proposed. You'd still be paying far less than any other first world family in your income bracket.
People do have their right to their day in Court, don't they?
.... I would come up with a better analogy.
The people in the top 5% bracket start at ~160k a year in taxes. Pay over %58 of the taxes in the country. Yet only make ~35% of the income.
How much of a large share do they need to pay to make you tax hikers happy? Their current share is 1.6x their share of income. And they need to pay more? Why? So a hippe can get his free art history degree?
I never said they didn't have a right to "their day in court".

Why? Fannie Mae and loan servicer OneWest won’t discuss the case. But nonprofit advocates say a series of bold protests — with reinforcements from the “Occupy Wall Street” movement — and a spate of media interest put Rose in the limelight and forced the banks to back down.
They pay 58% of the INCOME taxes, not 58% of the taxes. You can only arrive at that value by discounting huge amounts of taxes paid by the rest.
You realize that the reason the top 5% pay such a large share of the taxes is because their incomes have increased at a hugely disproportionate rate with the rest, right? The complete lack of shame is amazing to me that people could look at a system where a small group of people have taken the vast majority of the benefits in recent years and then shriek and whine about how mean the system is by forcing them to give part of it back.

Yes 58% of the income taxes.
Did you miss the part where they make 38% of the income? If you want to be 'fair' then their taxes should be cut until it matches their share of income.

most of the 1% aren't as rich and curropt as you anti 1% want to make them out to be.
the cutoff for 1% is ~380k. Thats a good dr. or a household of two doctors. Wow talk about evillll, they must be killed. Are the 99 percenters serious about calling this 1% of the population evil? These people went to school for 11+ years, and now some spoiled jobless kid wants to do what to them?
The top .1% get income into the millions.
Futher more. The top .1% pay ~18% of the taxes in the USA, the top 1% ~38% of the taxes.
The .1% number ~140,000 people.
http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/250.html
Are the 99percenters saying that 140,000 people are able to buy all the votes in this country? If thats the case the problem isn't the .1% in the country, they should take a look in the mirror at who they are voting for. 140,000 votes in a presidental election is a rounding error.

i can't wait until it gets cold in ny and see if these morons are still OWS.
China's foreign ministry said Monday the Occupy Wall Street movement highlights issues that are worth considering, but that debates generated by the protests should promote global economic growth.

Surprise, surprise, communists like other communists.

No one has been charged or arrested for tanking the world economy... Why should people be arrested for exercising freedom of speech?
