That's very broad. Can you be more specific?

He had control of both for the first two years. Even then he didnt do anything. People voted out the Democratic house because of this. Not saying that the Repubs did any better, but its fair to point out that even when.
Yes, Obamacare is a shame. I'll just point out that Romney was thinking along the same lines in MA.

Even so, he didnt have to spend like crazy, $6+ trillion in four years! I mean come on, at this rate the national debt will be way over $20 trillion in 2016.
Can you be specific about the "like crazy" part?

Ok, but that doesnt change the fact that Obama still drones on about how the solution to the debt problem is high taxes for the rich.
Fair enough. So, neither candidate is offering anything tangible.

Is that guarantee? I think that when push comes to shove, they will just move their capital somewhere else.
You might notice a trend: European elite tends to move their money and residency to the U.S. to avoid taxes. Not the other way around. Capital gains is 15%, that's pretty low considering that most people who work for a living are paying twice as much in taxes.

Lol wut?

Because they are spending 100% of their money, which isnt a lot, they will stay forever poor.
So? Let them stay poor. Their choice. We're talking about boosting the economy.

Do you even realize what you are saying? If that was really true, why isnt the nation better off? Because the poor are a small percentage of the population. There simply are not enough of them that if they all did what you are saying, to make a difference.
Hmm...15% of the 300,000,000. That's 45 million people. I wouldn't call that "small"

If the majority of the country was poor, then maybe it would make a difference. But thankfully, most of Americans are not poor, so your idea has no solid ground to stand upon. A couple million people spending their paychecks, either through a job or through welfare, wont boost the economy.
45 million. 45.

However, the rich do not just "play with the stock market." They invest. Invest in the stock market, which has a major effect on the economy,
Can you be more specific about how that would have a major effect?


they invest in companies, in new businesses. I wouldnt turn to a poor person to help me fund my new small business proposal. Like it or not, the rich drive the economy.
And their tax rate is 15%. Lower than anyone else except the poorest of the poor.
