And, as has been pointed out to you before, we are talking federal income taxes, not federal and state combined which is the faulty data you continually attempt to introduce. The regressive tactic of moving the goalposts to suit their agenda does not alter reality as it exists. Obama isn't talking about raising the state income taxes, mostly because he couldn't do that even if he wanted to. He is talking about raising the federal taxes, where the top 20% of earners are currently paying 40% of the income taxes collected. Focus Dog - federal taxes is the issue under discussion at the present time.Something the Dog Said wrote: That is absolutely one hundred percent a lie. The rich account for 20% of the income and pay 20% of the taxes, a 1:1 ratio. You keep repeating your lies but it has been proven over and over that it is absolutely a lie.
According the Christian Science Monitor:
To put it in numbers, according to the analysis, the top 1 percent of earners account for 20.3 percent of total personal income in the United States and pay 21.5 percent of all federal and state taxes. The middle 20 percent of households earn 11.6 percent of US income and pay 10.3 percent of taxes. The lowest 20 percent account for just 3.5 percent of income, and pay 2 percent of all taxes.

Either you are just sadly ignorant about the facts, or deliberately lying about them, but this has been pointed out to you before.

Without any encouragement, a grass roots effort to contact the White House seems to have developed to voice displeasure with the President's plans,
or lack thereof. A backlash of voters who see the President's efforts
to put the nation further in debt while promoting a class warfare theme
whereby he gets to choose how much money we keep. Speaker Boehner
didn't mobilize millions of supporters to swamp the White House with
voices for fiscal sanity and smaller government. He did, however, speak
to those who understand that the President's "balanced approach" does
mean paying more in taxes to an ever-growing federal government that
can't stop spending.
President
Obama may have been hoping that Congress would be bullied by a cascade
of phone calls to Congress making demands for higher taxes on their
fellow citizens. As an orchestrated tactic, it appears to have worked.
Unfortunately for the President, it seems that his call to his
dwindling supporters has also rallied those who oppose him and Speaker
Boehner didn't even have to plot a phone call mob on his behalf.

Something the Dog Said wrote: So while the Republican plan would reduce the deficit by less than $1 billion per year, the Democrats plan would reduce the deficit by $2.2 trillion. Looks like the Democrats are the only party serious about reducing the deficit.
