I keep hearing almost daily on TV that we cant raise taxes on the rich, 'because they create the jobs'
That is called 'Ad Hoc' reasoning.
Proof of this is easy to find: Twelve years ago, Bush Jr got his 'Bush Tax Cuts' passed.
At the time, he claimed it would create jobs. It didnt. It still hasnt.
What it HAS done, is allow many rich people to KEEP their money. That is all.
If that was your goal, then the issue pleases you. If your issue was job creation, not so much.
After TWELVE YEARS, you would think that this would be enough time, to see some jobs.
Oddly enough, not. However....twelve years of those taxes, might have accomplished SOMETHING.
So lets bury this myth. Such claims are simply a means for the rich to blackmail the rest of us. 'If you dont give us what we want, we will hurt you'
I really dont like bullies, dont like being lied to either.
I think Obama should simply tell the Republicans that they can deal with him, or we can all drive off the cliff together. Poor people will NOT lose as much as rich people.
So go ahead, call the bluff. As for sequestering, hey you all agreed to it, you deal with it.
You see the rich tried to blackmail FDR a long time ago. But he was one of them. He knew the game. So it didnt work. He raised the taxes on the rich. Oddly enough,
the country did just fine.
That is what I hate most about this Prez. He talks big, and he keeps on caving.
He is the worlds biggest puss.
