Reid Jumps Into The Class Warfare Game: “These Millionaires And Billionaires Have Contributed $3 Trillion To Our Deficit”…
Eat the rich!
Of course his party’s reckless spending had nothing to do with it.
(The Hill) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday said $3 trillion of the U.S. budget deficit was caused by tax cuts to the rich under the Bush administration.
Reid made the comment in floor remarks in which he welcomed President Obama’s plan to raise taxes on the wealthy to help reduce the deficit.
“More than anyone else, these millionaires and billionaires benefited from Bush tax cuts and contributed $3 trillion to our deficit, to help plunge this nation into a financial hole,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “A balanced approach to reduce our deficit means those who have benefited the most from policies that created our deficit should also help solve our deficit.”
Reid added that the plan is a “concrete strategy” that “calls on those who have benefited from the tax policies that sunk this country deeper and deeper and deeper into debt to help get us out of this debt.”

I’ll have to agree with you, if you are talking about all you criminal millionaires and billionaires that own the government. So pay up SUCKA!
Exactly what social services are the millionaires taking advantage of?
Reidiot, you answer is not acceptable so your work, show me THE MATH!
Give me a break you thieving hypocrite…what you and your family has got away with in Nevada is outrageous…stick it where the Sun doesn’t Shine…SIDEWAYS!
stick a fork in this democrat party, its done. Its pretty much on its way down the tubes at this point.
Now they are all openly essentially going after all job creators in this country. So who’s up in 2012, Chaire mckasill is toast, ben nelson is toast, that MT senator is toast, VA is going to a repub, the FL is toast, I would say even the WI seat is going to the repubs. I’m sure I’m missing other “conservative” dems who are up for relection next year, but they are toast next year as well.
There was a Dem congress in power for two years, not changing a thing BEFORE the first stimulus came along to the tune of how many billions, and then the second stimulus for how many billions?
During all those billions/trillions of spending, did the Dem congress do anything about those pesky billionaires not paying their fair share or even present a budget for congress to pass ? You had a lazy-ass congress, Harry. Get your lies straight, Harry. You need to retire and quit lying, Harry.
Bullshit, old coot. It is your spending. You and your ilk.
These people are out and out delusional! How the HELL did they ever get elected to congress to begin with? I am just amazed, disgusted and worried at the same time.
I hope all these companies being slandered by these fools in Washington remember all this bullshit at donation time!
Sounds like you’re condemning yourself, Mr. Harry, since you’re a member of that elite party. Not just you, but all the rest of the establishment in Congress and the Administration. Sounds like you know who you are and for some reason want to blame yourselves for the gov’t downfall.
If you’re so damn certain that millionaires and billionaires are cheating the gov’t, why don’t you write a check (and the rest of your cronies) for say, a million dollars apiece and throw it in the pile since you consider yourself as a millionaire at fault for the deficit of the United States of America?
Is this true, or not?
Salary of retired US Presidents …………$180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate …………………..$174,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of Speaker of the House ………..$223,500 FOR LIFE
Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders ……$193,400 FOR LIFE
Just how long are these lying douchebags going to get away with this bullshit. There is class warfare going on in this country – the political class vs. the working class. Obama demonizes the millionaires on one hand but doesn’t have any trouble taking their money for his campaign. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Crooks and tyrants. That’s all Washington is full of.
Eat Geithner
Reid’s thinking is Liberal thinking……if those $3 trillion
HAD been paid in taxes…Reid and his bastards would have
SPENT it a long time ago…..and would STILLneed to raise
taxes to feed their spending addiction. It never stops with
these vermin.
Oh for God’s sake give it a rest. This is as bad as screaming the race card.
Give it back to the tax payers that the demacRATS stole it from
This is really pissing me off. WHY WHY WHY WHY don’t I hear every Republican I see on any and every news channel they happen to be on talking about how the richest 1% of earners pay 40% of all federal income tax; the top 10% of earners pay 70% of all federal income tax; while the bottom 50% of earners pay ZERO federal income tax. And then they should say, ‘You want to see everyone pay their fair share, well then we should have EVERYONE paying SOMETHING.’
WHY aren’t Republicans spreading these facts instead of letting Democrats keep playing this class warfare SHIT?
Harry Reid’s estimated net worth:
$2,827,056.00, minimum
$6,307,999.00 maximum
$4,567,527.00 average
No one is sure which figure is correct. Campaign finance laws have disclosure requirements that make it easier for elected officials to hide their true net worth. When guys like Reid and Buffet starts screaming about “the rich” not paying their “fair share” (as if they are just regular folks us and not rich) then be prepared for a new scam that will soak everyone in the country except the super-rich who will always find the loopholes and shelters.
They’ve pretty much worn out the race card, so this is all they have at the moment.
Then I suppose that tax cuts for the non-rich are responsible for $7-8 trillion of the deficit.
If that’s true why did the democrat congress renew the tax cuts during the lame duck??? Huh?
People seem to be forgetting there is massive tax hikes in Obamacare. There is also $500 billion in cuts to medicare, all of this in Obamacare.
In ’05 Investing, Obama Took Same Path as Donors
Less than two months after ascending to the United States Senate, Barack Obama bought more than $50,000 worth of stock in two speculative companies whose major investors included some of his biggest political donors.
One of the companies was a biotech concern that was starting to develop a drug to treat avian flu. In March 2005, two weeks after buying about $5,000 of its shares, Mr. Obama took the lead in a legislative push for more federal spending to battle the disease.
The most recent financial disclosure form for Mr. Obama, an Illinois Democrat, also shows that he bought more than $50,000 in stock in a satellite communications business whose principal backers include four friends and donors who had raised more than $150,000 for his political committees.
A spokesman for Mr. Obama, who is seeking his party’s presidential nomination in 2008, said yesterday that the senator did not know that he had invested in either company until fall 2005, when he learned of it and decided to sell the stocks. He sold them at a net loss of $13,000.
The spokesman, Bill Burton, said Mr. Obama’s broker bought the stocks without consulting the senator, under the terms of a blind trust that was being set up for the senator at that time but was not finalized until several months after the investments were made.

The dim bulb from Searchlight, Nevada has spoken. He’s
been rolling around in his pomegranate groves for too long,
listening to cowboy poetry and audio tapes of San Fran Nan’s
greatest speeches as Speaker of the House.
So if you keep more of the money you earn by having less confiscated by the Democrats, you are adding to the deficit. There is supposed to be some logic in that thought process?
You know what . . . it is kind of embarrassing to have Reid represent us as Senate Majority Leader. He looks like a doofus.
It sounds like “balanced approach” will be the new and fashionable political terminology we will get thrown at us.
Billionaires pay for all our food stamp shit ect. Congress is the total contributors to our debt (not deficit) Harry Reid is a doofus.
Vote all millionaire cong critters out in 2012!
Maybe if they keep repeating the same old crap long enough, someone might believe them… hell of a strategy!
Exactly, gastorgrab: What ENTITLEMENT (=federal GIVEAWAY) services do “millionaires and billionaires” mooch, exactly? I guess Reid will have to get back to us on that one…..these stupid Dems ALWAYS return to their “vomit” of class warfare– while at the same time denying the reality that these “millionaires and billionaires” are the ONLY ones who have the resources to create JOBS– real jobs, not federal ones that are just “redistributed” ones– and since it is THEIR money they use to do it, they tend to be a LOT more responsible with it than the federal government (hello, SOLYNDRA!)– attacking them simply motivates them to send those “millions and billions” elsewhere, as in OVERSEAS….. what dumbasses they are, like Reid and his cohort occupant in the White House.
These idiots are frightening in their capacity to lie and screw America – and equally frightening, if not more, are the idiots in our society who believe anything these jerks say.
For crying out loud, why are the folks on the Republican side and the media (yes, the media) SCREAMING that it simply is 1) out of control spending and 2) our money is not the government’s money to do with as it pleases. This is supposed to be, at least, a free country and a not an old Eastern European satellite state.
Does Reid have Parkinson’s or is just gay?
Only in the bizarro world of Harry Reid and his Leftist cohorts is a tax cut considered Government spending……. Because all the money belongs to the Federal Government don’t ya know… You only work for it so that you can give it back to them….
Half-wit Harry has hollow head.
Reid Jumps Into The Class Warfare Game: “These Millionaires And Billionaires Have Contributed $3 Trillion To Our Deficit”…
#########################################
He is absolutely right.. All the Millionaires in Congress and the Senate with a large D after their name and those with a large RINO after their names have contributed to the $ 14 trillion deficit. It is the policies of the Democrat government that caused all the problems in this country, we are having right now, all of them needlessly done for their own profit; From sending jobs overseas due to Unions to shutting down drilling for Oil and Cutting off Water to the farms in Northern California for a fucking delta smelt… Stopping merchant fishermen from being able to fish lets not forget the Wide-open borders
Always turning the other way, when factories, large Companies hire Illegal’s, also giving them welfare, free housing medical care at the expense of the taxpayers and no consent, Factories hiring Illegal’s instead of Americans to keep more change in their pocket and large donations to the DNC.
So yeah Harry, I agree. And I also have a remedy. I will vote each and everyone of you Millionaires and Billionaires and Bill Ayers out of office come 2012, 2014, 2016, How ever long it takes to get you greedy, un-patriotic, Marxist, Mao, Alinsky and Cloward Piven loving assholes out of office. I will remain diligent in making sure none of you are re-elected into office and work over time in getting indictments against you, and toss your old wrinkled ass and botoxed ass of evil in jail with all assets frozen to be used later in paying down YOUR DEBT… Not ours. YOUR’S ALONG WITH THAT OF YOUR PUPPET MASTER GEROGE SOREASS.
If God is with us and I know he is… It will be Death for TREASON that you all will receive. I will gladly stand and watch each one of you die, by whatever means necessary. GOT IT fucktard?.
I’m pretty sure I speak for a few Million Americans when I say these things to you.
Take it to heart Harry. You’re done; your progressive party is done. Your media lap dogs are done.
WE THE PEOLE HAVE SPOKEN AND WE WILL NOT REST UNTILL THOSE REPOSNABLE FOR THE ECONOMY, UNEMPLOYMENT AND OVER TAXING HARD WORKING AMERICAN’S, HEADS SEVERED OFF YOUR SHOULDERS AND ROLL INTO A PILE OF SHIT COVERING THE YARD. A MOST FITTING DEATH FOR TREASON.
I may have a few issues this morning.. need caffeine. lots and lots of caffeine.
if it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Ronald Reagan
The Government, Obama and the DNC large donors have nothing to worry about with these tax hikes.. obama will give them wavers and let the rest of us carry the burden of the higher tax..
@ThomNJ.
I look at the quite coming from the Republicans the same way I look at the silence coming from the American Muslim, who never speak out about the extremist blowing up, cutting up or stoning innocent rape victims. Not to mention American citizens.
This silence we keep getting from the “Moderate” Muslim’s when fartwa’s and death are placed on the West head, looking for blood to avenge a wrong that was never committed.
The Republicans agree, and they do it in complete silence, because they too are benefitting form the policies and laws they create for we the people, the insider trading and lobbyist money is sweet, sweet music to their ears.
We need to cut off this bullshit of profiting from the policies in Government.
I know there are rules for them not to be aloud to profit, but they work around those rules and use family members or staff to invest and create millions upon millions for themselves.
I have another theory. They maybe to busy with all the bills, orders and corruption coming from the Obama administration that they can’t see straight there are going insane trying to play catch up and stop as much damage as they can, and repairing all the damage the dems did while owning the house, senate along with Obama and his executive ordering and czar, committee making money laundering corruption.
This is out in the open almost shoving it in our face because he knows. Owning the Press/ Media and the DNC progressives along with Acorn and the Unions, will keep him safely tucked away from any fallout.
Hanging out in Air Force One. I would say hanging out in the White House but he tries to keep as far away from that place as possible.
The may make him actually work if
You want to get the money from the people who caused this. Turn in your paycheck and then your entire bank account as the down payment and then get every congressman and senator to do the same and in 20-30 years you may have paid back what you have stole. Not what you owe just what you stole.
Mr. Ried,
If you continue to display signs of ignorance, which have been prevelant for several years now, we will be forced to place you on the donor’s list for only those parts of your body useful to the process.
Let’s see, rules out the brain, the heart, the gut – doesn’t exist, the eyes, which only see one color – green, the hands – which only either point or grab, and the feet, as they are made of clay. Unfortunately this list also places you on the EPA’s dirty body list and so your remains will need irradiated ASAP upon your demise.
We hope this isn’t too disturbing and look forward to your continued spasmodic speeches which indicate to the voters of Nevada what a lousy individual your are.
Have a nice day……….
“These Millionaires And Billionaires Have Contributed $3 Trillion To Our Deficit”…
So you and osama obama and Pelosi are controlled by M& B’s?
Just like commies and mohammedians; blame everyone else for THEIR actions.
Good God, Nevada, the last election shouldn’t have been even close enough for Reid to steal it.
Maybe someone already asked, but – how much is the Reidiot worth ?? And how did he GET rich, I wonder ?? Worthless hypocrite libturd -
When you all are subject to the same laws and regulations you passed for us we may listen but not agree UNTIL THEN SHUT UP…you pompus pile of %#$@$%**. By the way you spew so much &^#$^%@@#$ you got hemmrhoids on your lips.
