>> Don't be ridiculous...you saw my chart...this has been going on for 40 years. There so much wealth in the hands of the very few that the vast majority of people barely have enough to get by. They need more money like I need the flu. So which is it? You want to raise revenue or you want to punish successful people? Your argument, of course, is total bullshit. You are stuck on the idea that the economy is zero sum, which I would expect you to know is not correct. When the wealthy get wealthier, the poor are better off, too, since the wealthy invest money and create jobs. Being poor in America today means owning a car, perhaps two, having air conditioning, cell phones, cable TV, more living space than the rich in some countries, plenty of food to eat, video games and microwaves, all that crap. I know a guy making minimum wage at a nearby convenience store, just bought a new car. >> And by the way, if tax cuts create jobs why did W end his tenure with ZERO net job created during his administration? Bush created or saved millions of jobs through is tax cuts. You got that -- "created or saved"? You know how that works, I assume.
