When was the last time your lobbyist got tax law passed? Anyone offer to not tax your home for five years if you build it in their city? Ever go bankrupt and have the government bail you out?
Look at the market. Businesses are booming. Especially the ultra large ones.
I was AGAINST the bailout... xibbumbero says Obama saved the auto industry with the bailout. Once again, I say f***'em. The banks and the politicians (both sides) are in bed. It shouldn't be the lobbyists controlling sh*t. It shouldn't be the politicians, either... because they're being paid by the lobbyists.
Please explain to me WHY a guy who makes more than $250,000 should be taxed at a higher RATE than a guy making $50,000? Maybe that guy is smart, went to medical school, or he's an engineer from MIT, or maybe the guy grew up dirt poor and just has a good business sense and a HS diploma...
Why should wealthy people be taxed at a higher RATE. Given a 10% tax, the guy making 50k is paying 5k and the guy making 250k is paying 25k. He's already paying 5 times as much because he makes more. Why is he being punished for being smart or lucky?
They are both receiving the same screw job from the gov't... use the same roads, kids maybe go to the same public school system... same sewer and garbage pickup.
How is that fair?
It's not. But the politicians take from the rich/middle class, and use that money to buy the votes of the poor.
