Now, why would anyone want to ask this guy to pay 5% more tax?

[Openmind]

(Stephen Hemsley, CEO of UnitedHealth)

I am 58 years old.

I made nearly $102 million last year, but only $1.3 million of that was salary. Could you live on a measly $1.3 million? Me neither.

If Obama increases my taxes, I may not be able to afford my $37 million corporate jet. I'll need to scrimp in order to pay the property taxes on my $6.6 million home.

Oh wait. What am I thinking? My company has a virtual monopoly in at least 12 states. We'll simply raise the health insurance premiums for all of the little people.

Problem solved.

Quit blaming others.

I am the 1%.

CEOs do not buy corporate jets, their corporation does.

Al Gore owns a private jet. And Al Gore wastes more energy then any ordinary American. And hes preaching about Global warming? When liberals learn to ride bicycles to work then they have the right to preach on evoinmental issues.

Yes he does own private jers as does John Travolta but do either deduct the depreciation ? if not no tax increase on them.

I am 21 years old.

I borrowed over $100,000 from CitiBank for student loans and now those greedy bastards think I should start paying them back. Sure, I used their money to pay for my college diploma but it's, like, totally unfair and stuff that I should have to uphold my end of the contract. As if!

Instead, I'm like totally demanding that government should, like, force the banks to forgive all student loans and, like, pay for it by jacking up taxes on the evil wealthy bankers and their millionaire buddies.

Problem solved.

Personal responsibility is for losers.

I am the 99%
