Success Happy

Has anyone else noticed it is NOW a bad thing to be successful in the US, since the Obama Election?

Just look at the various answers to political questions on this website for anecdotal evidence of class envy. What do you think the long term consequences are of Obama getting elected by telling the Poor that they are poor because the rich (over 250K per couple) made them poor. He has convince millions of people that Rich people are the problem that if they would only pay more money in taxes everything will be just fine. What happens when the rich are paying more and everything gets worse? Think of South Africa, what happened is horrible for everyone not just the wealthy but for everyone. Our only hope is the people who are working and making between 20K and 250K per year wake up and stop this this divisive President.

1. Do put it simply. What ever you plant, you will harvest. We have planted poison ivy, I'm afraid.
2. They got the change you wanted
3. Obama just peddles that crap to get elected. Even he knows the consequences of taxing the achievers - job cuts, moving jobs overseas ect. to make up for the losses. People who complained about 'trickle down' economics, are about to feel 'trickle down' taxation....
4. I think the "rich" will FLEE the country...who could blame them? and then, then guess who's taxes will be needed to pay for all of Mr.Obama's schemes?
5. It might be a bad thing just to live here once the race wars really get started because of this crap.
6. successful people are punished for their success. Why be successful and make more money since you will just have the government take it away from you and waist YOUR money.
7. That happens anytime liberals get into office. Suddenly those that are successful need punished and are evil and are horrible etc. etc. And the octomoms of the world should be embraced and taken care of by us all.
8. No, the people that are more successful pay more taxes but still has 75% of their pay
9. There is something really perverse when wealthy people whine about money. Most wealthy people (including my Wealthy Republican In laws) were born that way. I am an older voting Democrat and owned several of my own business's , which Republicans in power had no problem taxing .
10. No. Warren Buffett one of the richest men in America is one of Obama's biggest supporters. Stop acting like the Bush Tax cuts were put in place since America was discovered. He's merely going to increase the tax rates for those in the top 5% who've been given a tax break for the last 8 years. You republicans think he's just going to send the money to poor people in a brown paper bag. The taxes are going to help curve the $10 trillion deficit that was put in place by George W. Bush (Republican) so we can finally get back to a time when America did not have to issue bonds for countries buy.
11. Did I make her poor? The woman who works as a server in a restaurant and has 5 kids and no education and is getting 600 a month food stamps, plus daycare free form the state who wont get an education and lives in a trailer. Um I dont think so I think the fact that she is to stupid to remember to take a birth control pill or keep her legs closed is what made her poor and its people like her that is making America poor to.
12. that's the party mindset, comrade!
