Excessive taxation is a disincentive to produce. Why make more if the government is just going to confiscate it? Obama's desire to redistribute wealth will cripple our economy.
You'd think by now that we'd get the picture. Every time taxes go up the revenues go down. The money makers are just like everybody else. They're going to do whatever they can to pay as little tax as possible.

The redistribution of wealth doesn't work, either. On paper, the poverty level should have dropped since the Great Debacle (society). HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Instead the government has taken trillions of dollars from the producers (tax payers) and given it to the non-producers. The recipients numbers have increased dramatically every year.

Cut taxes and all non-constitutional spending to the bone and work with what you have.
