Especially with their bureaucratic chunk of the pie.
Keep believing the dream that taxing the bejesus out of business and corporate America will help the average American. If the Dems control the WH and have a supermajority in congress, I can see the next great depression arriving soon. No worries for the Dems, their friends the lawyers will be able to sue the few remaining companies into bankruptcy and then they'll get the pure socialist environment here. Too bad most of America will be down to a second world standard of living by then. |
The issue is not taxing the bejesus out of business. It is indeed a different philosophy. It is a bottom up philosophy vs. a trickle down philosophy. The theory is that the middle class, who contribute the most and drive the economy, will provide the same net income to the top earners even after they pay their fair share. Why didn't Bush send his stimulus checks only to the very wealthy as John McCain has defined them to be; those who make over 5 million? He didn't because the middle class drive the economy. The issue is the extremely wealthy paying their fair share of the National debt (ticking below), not more and not less:
You can directly relate the poverty rate to red state America and Republican voting patterns.
