If you TOOK all the money from everyone in the U.S. above $250,000 , that's 100% of anything everyone earns over $250,000 guess what? It would run the U.S. govt. for less than a month.
The SPENDING is the problem.

If you stop the spending. You take food off peoples tables. Some of them your customers. You're thinking is short term. Do you want tax cuts that put your members out of work and stop them buying from your site?

Yes they did. The problem was Bush's level of maths stopped at how much him and his mates earn.

Godfuckingdamn it they have been working the system for years. What have we got?
400 rich pricks have more than 1/2 the fucking country! http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/...-more-wealth-/ |
Only 400. Mitt will raise that number. It will mean many more having less, but he doesn't care.

They have nothing but time on their hands, so they work endlessly to rig the system EVEN MORE in their favor!

Because it's not in their favour enough already.

Those fucking Bush tax cuts were supposed to create jobs. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE JOBS?

Stop coming up with logic. Some idiot will point out countries around the world with Governments who over spent, now forced to cut spending and got massive unemployment. Americans never look across State Lines unless they're off invading somewhere.
And they argue it's not low enough.
Don't fucking ASK them. Let them know the tax code MUST CHANGE.
They're in China.
His theory falls down right at the beginning. Giving the middle class more money to spend would result in more American jobs in the 1950s. Today it will result in more jobs in China.
The world is a far smaller place than it was when I left school and got a job. UK produced loads of goods it sold to the rest of the world. America's rise was based on selling arms in two World Wars. And carried on looking inward for sales of produced goods. We rarely saw an American car in Europe, same goes for many other things. Look at the American products we do see all the time and where America leads. Boeing, Microsoft, Apple and others.
This shows you the way forward. Giving the money to middle class to buy Nike shoes made in an Indian factory or a BMW. Isn't going to boost jobs in the US. Giving the poor money to spend in
Ralphs, Wal-Mart, Costco, Safeways will. Trickle up works when people spend the money in their home town far better than trickle down when they spend it in Neiman Marcus.
