Frank:Lots of Rich People We Can Tax

October 21, 2008 | Jim Vicevich | |

Wonder if any of those rich folk are rednecks? Oh well. From Hotair … Barney Frank in his own words.

Writes Ed Morrissey: Look at Frank grin while talking about all of the rich people he’ll soak with new taxes if given the chance.  Frank loves his class warfare.  He’s one of the architects of this financial collapse, and now he wants to make sure that the collapse is complete by confiscating the capital that would correct it.

Update: Steve at Conservative 247 writes:

What an idiot. The people that Frank and his cohorts want to go after have the ability to move their operations out of the country, slow expansion, lay people off, cut benefits and make paychecks smaller.

Indeed!

Because it’s their money … they just let you keep some of it. Remember now deficit spending was bad … now its good. The difference, Democrats are looking forward to a fiibuster proof Congress. It’s “katie bar the door time” … the only question is … how long before they discover they just can’t get enouygh money from the rich and start sliding down the income ladder for more … meaning YOU!

    Funny – we both saw the Barney Frank comments and posted about it at the same time!

    I am Joe Plumber. Get your hands out of my back pocket Barney, or I'm going to whack your arm with my pipe wrench.

    Thief.

    This guy is a fool… John Larson is equally foolish. DO NOT VOTE FOR JOHN LARSON!!!!!

    I called Larson's office today. They apparently do not know how many emails/letters/calls came in regarding the bail out bill. They have no idea how many were for or against the bail out bill and it will be a long time (post election) before they will release that information.

    Check out the poll on his website, are you freakin kidding me? This poll has been up since April, they can not find anything to poll constituants about? http://www.larson.house.gov/index.php?option=com_…

    Notice the "money line:" ….money that we can recover…." implying that it was their money to begin with, and they need to get it back. Like it was stolen from them or something. Nice mindset, huh?

    "Card carrying liberal" will now become "card carrying socialist."
