    This is a horrible idea that's been tried before and failed.  And, oh yeah, it's "for the children," so maybe it'll work this time!

     According to the bill, the "rich" aren't paying their fair share.

    Exactly how much is "fair" for the rich to pay? 99%, 90%, 85%?

    Why don't the liberals specify just how much is "fair" to them for the rich to pay? And if they are "rich", will they also have to pay their "fair" share?

    This bill wants to tax stocks and bonds investments claiming only rich people are able to invest in them. They fail to realize stocks and bonds investments are necessary for the ECONOMY. Stocks and bonds are purchased to invest in companies who in turn invest in equipment, technology and people.

    Once again the liberals want to punish people who may gain some wealth investing in the ECONOMY because the liberals want to force people to do only as they say.

    What kind of complete imbeciles have we elected in this state?

    Oh and remember - "no new taxes". Bullsh__!
