According to Forbes, there are 413 billionaires and nearly 3,000,000 millionaires (Millionaires are so yesterday.) living in the United States. According to the National Business Aviation Association (http://www.nbaa.org), there are 15,000 "business" jets registered in the United States.Additionally, according to the NBAA, "only about 3% are flown by Fortune 500 companies, while the remaining 97% are operated by a broad cross-section of organizations, including governments, universities, charitable organizations and businesses - large, medium and small."
Help me out here--I went to public schools--3% of 15,000 = 450. The POTUS is apparently speaking directly to 450 folks! So fess up, you private jet owners!!!! The gov'mint wants YOU to pay more. I'm guessin' since there are only 450 of you, you need to plan to pay a LOT MORE!
The truth is we're in trouble as a nation, and continuing to espouse class warefare isn't helping. We all need to eat a huge piece of spending-cut pie. We need to pass a balanced budget amendment so, once we get ourselves out of this mess we're in, we don't get ourselves into this much trouble in the future. And, for crying out loud, we don't need another debt commission so we can put the problem off for another day and then not follow their advice anyway!
Get real, Mr. president, Get real Congress. Get serious, get busy!!!
