The question SHOULD be "Are they paying their fair share?" NOT "Did they get bailed out?" As long as they pay the money back then I don't care. AS LONG AS THEY PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. From 1932-1981 The top tax rate was between 63% and 94%. 1982-1986 it was at 50%. It is now at 35%. There has been only 5 years since 1932 that the top tax rate has been under 35%. Tax revenue as a percentage of GDP for 2009, 2010, 2011(est) are the lowest they have been since 1950. Number of millionaires 2007: 3.3 million 2010: 3.4 million. Their collective wealth 2007: 11.7 trillion 2010: 11.6 trillion.
Good point. However, many more people will come to your side when you are proactive (for “new” Business & Government solutions), instead of reactive (against “old” Business & Government solutions), which is why what we most immediately need is a comprehensive “new” strategy that implements all our various socioeconomic demands at the same time, regardless of party, and although I'm all in favor of taking down today's ineffective and inefficient Top 10% Management System of Business & Government, there's only one way to do it – by fighting bankers as bankers ourselves; that is, using a Focused Direct Democracy organized according to our current Occupations & Generations. Consequently, I have posted a 1-page Summary of the Strategically Weighted Policies, Organizational Operating Structures, and Tactical Investment Procedures necessary to do this at:

because we need 100,000 “support clicks” at AmericansElect.org to support a Presidential Candidate -- such as any given political opportunist you'd like to draft -- in support of the above bank-focused platform.
Most importantly, remember, as cited in the first link, that as Bank Owner-Voters in your 1 of 48 "new" Business Investment Groups (or "new" Congressional Committees) you become the "new" Congress replacing the "old" Congress according to your current Occupation & Generation, called a Focused Direct Democracy.
Therefore, any Candidate (or Leader) therein, regardless of party, is a straw man, a puppet; it's the STRATEGY – the sequence of steps – that the people organize themselves under, in Military Internet Formation of their Individual Purchasing & Group Investment Power, that's important. In this, sequence is key.
Why? Because there are Natural Social Laws – in mathematical sequence – that are just like Natural Physical Laws, such as the Law of Gravity. You must follow those Natural Social Laws or the result will be Injustice, War, etc.
The FIRST step in Natural Social Law is to CONTROL the Banks as Bank Owner-Voters. If you do not, you will inevitably be UNJUSTLY EXPLOITED by the Top 10% Management Group of Business & Government who have a Legitimate Profit Motive, just like you, to do so.
Consequently, you have no choice but to become Candidates (or Leaders) yourselves as Bank Owner-Voters according to your current Occupation & Generation.
So please JOIN the 2nd link so we can make our support clicks at AmericansElect.org when called for, at exactly the right time, by an e-mail from that group, in support of the above the bank-focused platform. If so, then you will see and feel how your goals can be accomplished within the above strategy as a “new” Candidate (or Leader) of your current Occupation & Generation.
Trust me I am very influential
Their collective wealth is 11.7 trillion because they don't live beyond their means.
That isn't to say we shouldn't have higher tax and higher tax brackets, but that these numbers are so large because wealthy people SAVE THEIR MONEY.
If they spent it then they would create jobs. They are just selfish pigs.
No, it's called being responsible and saving for their retirement or their children's future.
It does not take $10 billion to retire.
I assume that you get that number by dividing the collective wealth by the number of people that hold it? Not every one holding that wealth is holding $10 billion.
Sure, it doesn't take $10 billion to retire, but keep in mind that this number includes people like Bill Gates, who has pledged to donate the majority of his wealth upon his death.
It's ridiculous to fault them for saving their money. If everyone did the same, would we be in this situation?
And how many of them will donate that much money when they die? There is a difference between saving for retirement and being a glutinous pig.

This movement is dead because I said so. The corporate billionaires actually listen to me. You died because you allowed them to turn this into a Ron Paul movement.
I think they listen a lot closer to me than they do to you
And who are you. I own the comment section of the fox news web site.

You have officially become the biggest troll in the world. You need to get away from the computer and find a way to move out your parents basement.

@iwantmygoldback1933, There was nothing to worroy about when taxes were more reasonable.
Corporate america has tried to turn this into some Ron Paul movement. That is what will end you. Ron Paul is as corporate as you can get.
