Do the math, Joe. How do you get one trillion dollars in revenue from the top 2% of the U.S. tax payers?

    F’ing communist idiot… I can’t wait to watch Ryan eviscerate him in the upcoming debate.

    Yes, let “little buddy” Biden well up all that fake, idiotic bluster and watch Ryan systematically tear his “facts” into little pieces.
    This should be required viewing.

    It’s not about taking a trillion from the 2%, it’s about converting the 2% into the 98%.

    I wasn’t prepared for the total destruction Mitt Romney unleashed on Obama during the first presidential debate. I fully expect Ryan to destroy Biden, but after the show Romney put on I expect nothing to be held back. Ryan will utterly decimate Biden with FACTS.

    Anyone with a basic grasp of math can explain how taxing the top 10% at 100% still won’t fix the deficit. We HAVE to scale back government. It’s not a matter of want to, or should, we HAVE to do it.

    If we don’t do it now we’ll be facing attrition just like Greece.

    it’s a lot of zeros, and I think I did it right:

    It comes to $437,000 each.

    The top 2% ore those households that make over $250,000 or $125,000 for individuals.

    good plan Joe!

    Joe is the kind of guy that wants to fly to the Sun…but he’ll go at night so he doesn’t burn up.

    I wager he will blow a gasket at the debate. He’s overcooked.

    He is the real life equivalent of the character that used to be on the TV show ‘The Office’ portrayed by Steve Carell: Michael Scott!

    He advocates letting the Bush “tax cut” expire so “the rich” pay their fair share, so the middle class are not burdened.

    I’m one of those middle class people that he doesn’t want to burden, yet I’ll be paying close to $1000 more in taxes next year on my $50k income when the “tax cuts for the rich” expire….

    Sounds about right, I’d give baby seals even odds against Joe in a debate, or a clubbing. ;)

    Based on biden’s very, very long career in D.C., it won’t be difficult for Ryan to lay out the “divergent paths” theme that has been established by the Romney campaign. It will be harder for Ryan to paint him as an extreme idealogue, given biden’s well-known history of working across the aisle and his recent work with Mitch McConnell on the extension of the “Bush Tax Cuts” but I hope Ryan will bring up biden’s apparent failure in his role as the preezy’s lead guy in overseeing how the stimulus (“shovel ready”) was spent. It will be easier for Ryan to clobber biden for his recent gift of proposed tax increases on “the rich.” It’ll be interesting and I don’t doubt that biden’s talent for convoluting an argument will keep Ryan busy trying to return the ball. The big payout will occur if Ryan is able to irritate joe to the point of his “losing it” or if biden comes across as the “venerable senior statesman” (read arrogant ass). That would likely backfire and come across as old school political dinosaur; mean and ill-mannered.

    Hempstead, NY’s elevation is 50 to 60 feet AMSL, so while elevation displacement may not be the cause of serious comical gaffery from Biden, I suspect the latitudinal displacement of traveling over 250 miles north from D.C. could have some unforeseen side-effects.

    All Ryan has to do is throw some four and five syllable words at Biden. Biden’s damaged, pea-sized brain will seize up like a computer infected with the stuxnet virus.

    What? He just wants to “stop all that money from going to the super-rich”! What’s wrong with that? I mean, the govt shouldn’t be taking money out of people hard earned welfare checks to send a check to millionaires and billionaires, right? I mean it’s not like it’s their own money that they earned or anything,is it? The 1% and the Big Oil companies get a check from the govt every quarter or year or something,right? The Republicans and lobbyists that are basically owned by the rich take money that the govt makes somehow and puts it with all the taxes that the 99% pay and they use it to give to the rich people and their corporations… Right? That’s why the economy crashed ain’t it. Damn that George Bush Hitler!!!!!!!

    “…stop all that money from going to the super-rich”!

    This bothered me the first time I heard it. Bidens demonstrates the Democratic assumption that the government ownes everything and just lets the rest of us be productive for its benefit. Then to keep us happy government lets us have some of that wealth back.

    This is a basic truth of Atlas Shrugged. When the most productive refuse to participate what will the government have left to distribute? Joe Biden, John Galt has a message for you – get stuffed you commie.

    I sincerely hope that Ryan reminds this dope that they are no longer the Bush tax cut but are the current tax rates. The new rate in 2013 will be the new Obama tax rates.

    This horses ass is really a big man when he is in front of ignoramusus that think that sticking it to the so called wealthy is really going to improve their lot.

    Ole Joe lives in Chateau Country, in Greenville, De, just what has he contributed over and above what he an the Dr. pay at income tax time? Think that might be something Andrea Mitchell might ask?
