Don't you think billionaires should "share the pain"?

Also, senators and congressmen should sacrifice.

Update:

To geno, If they have to eliminate one tank of gas for their private jet to be considered poor, then yes I am proposing that. Are you polishing their shoes??

    So you are suggesting, what??

    The govenment should take all their money and make them poor???

    Edit:

    So eliminating one tank of gas is going to make them "share the pain" and solve our multi TRILLION dollar deficit. Wow, how much do you think a tank of gas costs?

    You do realize there are only 412 billionaires in the U.S., right?? I take that back, 411...one died today. If you take every single penny they have, it won't be enough to pay our deficit, much less "one tank of gas".

    The federal reserve, all of congress, the senete, and Obama, should share the pain.

    Also anyone who voted for a marxist leader, should also feel the burn.

    Anyone who creates private sector jobs, and those who work those private sector jobs, should pay 0% taxes.

    For income taxes, they already pay 35%. Are YOU paying 35%. How much more do you want them to "share"? The top 2% pay nearly 50% of the taxes. Are they not sharing enough?

    They do already, maybe the 40 odd % that pay nothing should start to pony up some cash. Also, all the leeches who pay nothing but get thousands for sprouting crotchfruit should get cut off.

    No. If a person is using their mind & working their tail off to earn a living, no matter how successful or not, they should be able to keep 'their' money. Can I come over to your house & take your car form you if you are making more $ than me?

    Shut the **** up. If you had billions, you would give to a charity. For the most part, they earn it. God damn.
