Just watched a guy on fox news bring up a very interesting point.
Consider the fact that 40% of the nations wealth is owned by 1% of the population. The common mantra amongst alot of neocons is that the better they do the better we all do. If this is true then jobs should be falling out of the sky.
If the key to a stronger economy is to dump the tax burden on the middle class and shield the rich from everything then why dont we have jobs??
Maybe instead of strangling the middle class we should be empowing them. Maybe instead of giving the rich a free ride we should be putting more of the burden on them?
Are you advocating that wealth be taxed instead of income?
Because, if you are, then all of us should stop saving and spend or give all that we have.
Im not advocating anything, I am simply pointing out the contradiction of neocon pro establishment rich people argument.
