    For his wealth? No. Obama's position, as he mentioned in the SOTU is that we don't begrudge people who make a lot of money, we just ask them to pay their fair share.

    So will the way Romney made his money at Bain be an issue? Maybe. Will Obama highlight the difference between his and Romney's tax plans in regards to the expected responsibility of the very wealthy? Almost certainly. Will Romney be attacked simply for the amount of money he has? Very doubtful.

    I think poor texxx is angry that Obama used his real wealth to eat at a nice restaurant with the First Lady while he had to eat Stouffers while sitting on his intel 486 computer posting how he went to eat at Uchi using his imagined 6 figure salary.

    What perception?

    The economy is recovering and requires people tonspend money to continue recovering. The taxes proposed are not financing the 300 dollar dinner bill, but Medicare, infrastructure projects, and even thingsnconsevatives like such as the military?

    The only one butt-hurt over this is you.

    Our household income is well over 500K a year. Mrs esteban and I give much of our income away to charities and foundations. I go on several medical missions in a year, getting ready to go back Haiti in a couple of months, those unfortunate folks need my specialty badly after the earthquake.

    You can't afford a $50 bet -- that's really bad.

    You get $500k to inspect tranny junk? That's great for you when you'd do it for free!!

    Lol. Got sick of calling me an idiot and douche, eh? Decided it would be better if you instead attacked my financial situation?

    I'm broke, I work 48 hours a week and make about $400 dollars a month. Sorry that I have goals in my life that I am willing to suffer to achieve.

    Listen guys my annual income is well over 2 million a year... I'm a teacher after all and with our benefits program we're all fabulously wealthy. I laugh at silly little incomes like 500K a year. I easily make 3 times whatever squat amount liltexxx is pretending like he's making here.

    It's all real, everyone.

    This we know is true. His doppelganger, Trader_Jorge (the non-r****ded version of esteban), once posted my Match.com profile that he happened to run across while browsing the available men over there.

    LOL!

    I know the concept is foreign to you Mr Blade: there are people out there like myself , who has done very well and are giving back.

    I think you identify more with your VP Joe Biden ,who gave a little more than 300 bucks to charities according to his tax return.
