Yep most find a poor GOP supporter that's not a Jesus freak or a gun freak and I can guarantee you he supports the GOP because he has this notion the he is going to be a millionaire one days and needs to have low taxes to keep him rich. What I find funny is that if you make $1 mil a year and even if you paid 80% in taxes you're still bringing home more money that 95% of Americans so why complain? Now befoe some idiots chime sin and says I'm advocating a 80% tax rate I'm not. I'm making a point. Going from 33% back to 40% is NOTHING for these people.

...if they do not believe they will one-day be rich themselves then they've been brainwashed to believe that if the top 1% doesn't have another $30 million stashed away with their private banker that they will no longer hire with the remaining $700 million they have.

Yep. I'm not sure where they get this idea. Ok first it's aknown fact that RIGHT know corporation are hording $1 TRILLION they should be using to hire people. Our economy would be fine if these companies spent it on creating jobs.
Also think about say I won $200 million in the Powerball. Am I all of a sudden going to go out and create some fuckng jobs? Fuck no. WTF would I do that for? What, am I going to buy a Burger King franchise or something for kicks? Not likely. Go ask the THOUSANDS of lottery winners over the last 20 years that won at least $5 million how many jobs they've created. Giving people millions of $$ doesn't mean they are going to create a job. I've never heard some ANYONE that won one of those $100+ mil lotteries talk about how they are going to go out and create jobs. I've never hear some sport guy signing some $50 mil deal say a thing about how he is looking forward to creating jobs. Face it if you come into millions of dollars the LAST thing you are thinking about is creating some jobs.
I remember about 100 years ago the russian people got tired of the richy riches and their greedy attitudes same with the French about 200 years ago. Let's say in both cases it didn't turn out well for the greedy fucks. Perhaps they should learn from history.
Makes me sick that these rich fucks complain about their taxes and yet guys are basically getting minimum wage risking their asses in Iraq and Afghanistan protecting the livelyhoods of these greedy assholes. Would it hurt you to pay a little more so we can pay these guys a decent wage to keep America free so you can make even more billions?
Seriously if you have $1 bil in the bank earning ZERO interest you could still spend $28K a DAY everyday for 100 YEARS.
