Is it ok to take something without consent and give it to someone else?

Funny, in a court of law its called Larceny, or knowingly taking from someone else, a piece of tangible property.

When the gov't does it, its just taxation and business as usual. Obama promised no tax raise for anyone under $250k, and he is about to have to eat his words for all these checks he is signing with his mouth.

I cannot believe how anyone has any respect for Obama anymore. He continually lies to the American public's face time and time again.

What happened to Obama's promise that anyone making less than $250,000 a year wouldn't see a tax increase?

To get the economy back on track, will President Barack Obama have to break his pledge not to raise taxes on 95 percent of Americans? In a “This Week” exclusive, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told me, "We’re going to have to do what’s necessary.”

His pledge to never raise taxes is in the link below:

They reassured the public that they wouldn't go through with it the day or so after Geithner shot his mouth off, due to all the outcrys, but I wouldn't doubt it if they tried it again.

wasn't the whole Revolutionary War fought and this whole country founded because of unfair taxation?????

btw with all due respect, Holmes, you have quite the twisted view of reality man!! OK to steal from rich people if you are giving the proceeds to poor people??? whaaaat? and human lives are priceless? true, yet all the abortions in America? And Bill Gates giving up one of his Porsches isn't the only solution to save Joe Schmo.

It sucks pretty bad. Im 24 and can sit in my bed and create a financial model to disprove that any of this will work. We dont have enough money, even if you tax the shit out of the rich. They'll do that first, then move down the line to the middle class.

Where is all this transparency? What happened to having time to read these things over? Why was the TARP bill passed when the people voting on it didnt even have time to read it?

Im glad the Americans voted for some efamous ass clown with empty promises, instead of a proven problem solver and american war hero.
