    Where will you find a job?
    Naif.

    Astonishing.

    For the record I am considering Belize.

    I would not be surprised if you had no idea how stupid you sound.

    Do you have any idea who creates jobs? You don't. Clearly you do not.

    It is likely you have not thought this through. What was the actual rate the well to do paid? We have had a convoluted system, put into place by lousy politicians, to reward some behaviors while punishing others. The portions of that tax code that allowed people to prevent federal theft have withered away. Now that sounds somewhat Communistic, don't you think?

    Is the rest of the tax code the same? What was the effective tax rate?

    This is stupid. I earn well over 100K per year. My taxes are onerous. I pay more taxes than most of you earn.

    If you are not earning enough then get off your lazy ass and learn some skills.

    Or vote democratic and hope I will always remain here to be fleeced so you can buy your drug of choice with food stamps.

    America will always bleed its rich for welfare, where else in the world do the wealthy think they can go to avoid paying higher taxes other than Africa?

    That 100k a year income can only transfer to Europe, but they are worst than the United States, they tax their citizens over 50 percent of their income to pay for their socialist utopia of universal health care, unlimited unemployment, welfare, 6 weeks mandatory vacation, etc...

    So there is nowhere in the world America's rich can run to, to escape Uncle Sam taxing them to pay for my food stamp/welfare bill this month, its not practical unless the libertarians start their own state, and the government will make them pay for military protection from the communists in china and russia.

    My estimation of liberal's intelligence was never very high, but somehow reading this thread has caused me to lower it.

    I guess liberals think they will just print money to pay for their giveaway schemes.

    Let them go , for as long as there is demand other people will be able to make profit providing the supply.
    I was reading about that guy that created Cotsco (sp?) , son of blue collar workers took advantage of demand and became rich .

    My other option is to stop working. I have already told one person I employ that Obama's additional taxes means he will no longer work for me beginning in January.

    I believe the Republicans need to stand on their principles, let the Obama tax cuts expire and bring ten million moochers back onto the taxpayer rolls.

    "Will Raising Taxes Cause The Rich To Leave The United States Or Are They Bluffing?"

    if they leave, someone else will take there place....

    I have to believe most of the rich would not leave because the temporary bush tax cuts ended, they were here before the cuts went into place and all but the most unpatriotic will be here when they expire

    Oh yeah? How about those mega patriotic French? Why are they fleeing?

    Well ask the French, they seem to be fleeing to the UK to escape Socialist Tyranny.

    These people are NOT going to be replaced. Entrepreneurs are very rare species and your foolish faith that some mythical guy is just waiting in the wings is false.

    Besides, these companies that these guys run/own can be run from London just as easily as Paris in today's globalized world. So why take up residence in a socialist ruled (*)(*)(*)(*) hole??

    France is SCREWED and if you see their policies of 75% tax rates as the future of America, you are a fool. The rich will run and no, they won't be replaced.

    Where are all the replacements in California? Why is it we hear of businesses fleeing and no start ups replacing them if your BS theory is correct? Because it's not.

    Those are Obama's tax rates. Bush's rates expired a year or so ago.

    We will minimize the damage that Obama and his minions can do to us. But what will you do? How will you escape your greatly diminished future?

    Liberals are not looking for a brighter future. They are looking for revenge against the rich because they have trained since childhood that no one becomes rich honestly, that all rich are evil greedy bastards looking to make a buck, and they would rather rule in a hell of their own creation, than serve in heaven.

    Raising taxes on people making over 250,000, does absolutely nothing except work the liberals favorite narrative of "the greedy rich people, should pay their fair share". That's it....it will absolutely cause the already extremely volatile economy to crash. Raising revenue by raising taxes just to allow our disgustingly anti-success government to spend the messily amount (compared to our debt) on more BS that the liberals think we can't live without, and allow more people to suck what other people have earned while doing nothing to pay THEIR fair share. Will destroy this once great country....we a finished.

    I know for an absolute fact that the people our company were planning to hire, if Romney won....will not be hired. And this is exactly what will happen in every business that had planned to hire. Nice job Obama voters....you are all to blame for the next great depression....and the failure of the united states of America. You people disgust me....especially when I hear the idiotic excuses for why they voted for Obama instead of Romney....such as "the war on women" and "gay rights". Those things we shoved down your throats and are the greatest lies ever told. And all those social issues will absolutely not mean a single thing when you're all standing in lines for a loaf of bread.

    Good luck to you all during the next four years.

    Conservatives are not looking for a brighter future. They are looking to (*)(*)(*)(*) the middle and poorer classes because they have been trained since childhood that the poor deserve to be poor and they deserve to be rich, that all poor are lazy dumb bastards looking to live off welfare, and they would rather rule in a hell of their own creation, than serve in heaven.

    Baseless rants are fun and easy!

    I'm not rich. I just work with them everyday and they are the best people in the world. I just had a great talk with the CEO of Coca Cola yesterday. A more firendly guy you'll never meet.

    The rich in this country are the best and brightest our society produces and I would rather associate with them than any reject of the middle class who lacked the education and ability to live a sustainable lifestyle without any assistance from Government.

    You dare try to suggest that the average American cannot survive with a decent material quality of life without the assistance of Government?

    You don't see that as an indictment against average Americans??

    Does the president of Coca-Cola know that you think most women are dirty whores and wanted to (quote) "smack a hoe"?

    Just curious.

    Sure. I know lots of rich too. Many are decent folks. Most don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about much except how they can get more money.
