If you increase taxes on those with a low propensity to spend, and decrease taxes on those with a higher propensity to spend, you end up with an increase in GDP. Your proposed policy of eliminating jobs to subsidize the income tax rate of wealthy people is so bizarre as not merit a comment. It most closely resembles Ronald Reagan's equally bizarre scheme to create prosperity by leveraging-up the government, business and consumers. We are currently experiencing the inevitable collapse of Reagan's plan. Enjoy it. .

So, tell me, how does firing people to pay for a tax increase create jobs? Kindly explain, keep it pithy and to the point, this means don't give me any more rehashed talking points, just a direct answer would be nice... TIA There is an answer so I will have to answer for Elroy. He just doesnt believe that you and others will actual fire people but instead you will take a smaller profit or even run your business at a loss because you believe things will get better. But then when unemployment does shoot up, he will say its not the fault of the policy, the intention of the policy was to help employment and the intentions are far more important than outcomes. Does that answer your question GZ?
