Biden at World Economic Forum says "1% must pay up, or else."

I love how they paint these "1%" as an evil villain. Just wait until they take their money elsewhere

Thank god he was stupid enough to decline running against Hillary. He likely would've been the next POTUS.

Other than create a faux boogey man, what does this rhetoric do?

Nothing.

There will always be a top 1%, there will be bull chitters telling us what's fair and there will always be a bottom 10%.

Taxing or taking from the top 1% will never change that, and we will always have those who want to capitalize on people who are jealous of the wealthy.

Someone help me understand what those graph lines indicate in 2011?

Also, if you are in command of all income tax graphs and the data points to something favorable (say higher tax paid by 1%-ers), wouldn't your graph be up to date, at least to 2014?

Be my guest.

ETA: Here is another link which updates the tax data to 2014 as you requested. It shows the Top 1% paid even more of the total taxes than they did in 2011....almost half of all income taxes paid.

The top-earning 1 percent of Americans will pay nearly half of the federal income taxes for 2014, the largest share in at least three years, according to a study. According to a projection from the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, the top 1 percent of Americans will pay 45.7 percent of the individual income taxes in 2014—up from 43 percent in 2013 and 40 percent in 2012 (the oldest period available).

Seriously? Nah, you're joking, right?

fade into obscurity.

Only if Biden chooses to. The media is going to treat the next (at least) 2 years as if Obama and Biden are still in charge. They are just going to pretend Trump isn't the president except only to attack him.

I hate to say it, but if you think Obama and Biden are going to fade in to obscurity after Friday, you are sorely mistaken. If anything, the legend of Obama and Biden is going to grow in the eyes of the media.

Aren't the 1% pretty much all Dem supporters?

How about the fricking federal government be more efficient in their spending and we wouldn't need more taxes.
