lets see, what's different.
The rich have no affect on my life beyond providing me with a job and benefits that go to care and feed my family.
The government takes some of that money and removes my Constitutional rights, over spends , making the money I keep worth less, thus making it harder for me to care and feed my family.
Like I said, we, unlike you, are not a bunch of whinny crybabies.
The trickle down is a myth. Corporations are making record profits and taxes are at record lows. Where are the jobs exactly?
Record profits sounds pretty impressive, until you realize that those record profits amount to less than 5% of the gross of some of the larger corporations. A small business would collapse under that margin, but large companies can make it because of the sheer volume.
By the way, corporate taxes are actually among the highest in the world, individual taxes are the ones you are actually talking about when you throw out that low tax line. The fact that you do not understand that indicates why you should not be discussing this.
Our corporate tax is the lowest in the world, but it has also been at its lowest point in years. Obviously, it wasn't a problem before. And yes, individual taxes are different from corporate taxes. I was making a separate point about the trickle down theory.
