        @WSJ The unfairness is hard working Americans paying for those who don't work & abuse the system. If Obama wants socialism - he should leave

        @WSJ That's misleading. What he is really going after is his perception of the unfairness of the American system. Always been his goal.

        @WSJ The unfairness is to the rich. Citizens NOT paying ANY tax is just wrong.

        @WSJ Taxing the rich is a sort of Federal Robin Hood. It can't fix the financial inequality. It will lead to more gov spending.

        @WSJ He could show leadership by personally voluntarily paying more than he owes. But then, liberals only do that with OTHER people's money.
