Something more terrifying than Jews, Muslims, or the Gays

[Major Robert Dump]

Strike, ACIN, here's what gets me about your argument. This may not actually be your agrument, maybe I am reading into it:

Okay, 360,000 rich people going from 23% to 43% tax rate is not going to fix the ecconomy.

How about we also raise taxes to that level on the other 299 million+ people. Still an attractive endeavor? I actually approve of that, along with eliminating various credits that reward people for breeding, for being poor, etc. I know everyone hates middle class taxes, and raising the taxes on poor people is the sacred goat itself. But poor people use the most social services, I would think they would be more than willing to do their civic duty and pay extra taxes in order to support the children they cannot support themselves.

I approve of higher taxes. For everyone. But only if it is coupled with more government oversight and accountability, which is at pretty much zero right now despite the interweb and wolf blitzer.

Corporate taxes need to be higher. Thats what could fix the economy.

I personally fell the idea of having corporations pay lower taxes so they can "invest" and "hire more people" is an absolute farce. It's partially a face regarding private individuals as well because it completely fails to take into account all the various positive things you can do with your extra money that does not "stimulate" the job market etc, like savings account, paying off a debt, etc
