what we need to do is stop giving tax breaks for business to take their jobs over seas , tariffs on all imports especially those that are owned by American business .
a fare playing field , but neither party's will do this .
Economic growth has ALWAYS followed the path of marginal upper income tax rates. Rates go up, so does growth, rates go down, growth ceases. If you actually have FACTS that show otherwise I would LOVE to see them.

Correlation.Economic growth has ALWAYS followed the path of marginal upper income tax rates. Rates go up, so does growth
Except in 1961, 1981, and 2001.rates go down, growth ceases.

How does the tax rates on these businesses affect the tax rates on those individuals, and vice versa?Who do you think are principal shareholders and managers of those corporations, the poor?These are corporations, not people.
What do they have to do with raising taxes on the rich?
Robert Reich...
He's starting with a flawed premise:
The only way America can reduce the long-term budget deficit, maintain vital services, protect Social Security and Medicare, invest more in education and infrastructure, and not raise taxes on the working middle class is by raising taxes on the super rich.
He has no interest in making social security and medicare more efficient by using free market solutions and we already pay way too much for education. He'll have to define what he means by infrastructure because that could mean anything.

In 1960 when 14% of Americans received at least one federal benefit compared to today's rate of 46.2% what percentage of national income were the richest 1% appropriating?I have said it before and will say so again, they can go ahead and raise taxes on me if they get serious about cutting spending.I'll do my part but their whoring has got to stop and I mean corp. loopholes, spending ahead of pop. growth and inflation the lot of it, its called living within ones means.
here;
from a wapo Samuelson article today;
Few Americans realize the extent of their dependency. The Census Bureau reports that in 2009 almost half (46.2 percent) of the 300 million Americans received at least one federal benefit: 46.5 million, Social Security; 42.6 million, Medicare; 42.4 million, Medicaid; 36.1 million, food stamps; 3.2 million, veterans’ benefits; 12.4 million, housing subsidies. The census list doesn’t include tax breaks. Counting those, perhaps three-quarters or more of Americans receive some sizable government benefit. For example, about 22 percent of taxpayers benefit from the home mortgage interest deduction and 43 percent from the preferential treatment of employer-provided health insurance, says the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
Big government on the brink - The Washington Post
now, in 1960 you know what that figure was, as to what % of the pop. was on some type of sppt.? 14%.........now, when Kennedy decided to start ratcheting down taxes and it continued over the decades we, did not live within the means we dictated, we spent ahead always looking away from tomorrow and just to today.
Now, that we are strangling in all of the liabilities we created because we ignored our own tax policy, the answer is; ratchet taxes back up, as if this is the answer?
No, its not, but I am willing to help, stop the spending first, or its no dice, I don't trust them and what I just described is exactly why.

appropriating, what a moronwhat percentage of national income were the richest 1% appropriating?
"The top 1 percent have the best houses, the best educations, the best doctors, and the best lifestyles, but there is one thing that money doesn’t seem to have bought: an understanding that their fate is bound up with how the other 99 percent live.
"Throughout history, this is something that the top 1 percent eventually do learn.

only give subsidies to companies who create jobs or bring outsourced jobs back domesticOkay, folks, if we want to stick it to rich people in order to deal with our budget deficits, how about we start with THESE rich people?
1) Agricultural subsidies that go to billionaire agricultural corporations, rather than small farmers. Why the hell are we paying agricultural subsidies, anyway?
2) "Green" and "alternative energy" subsidies to big corporations.
3) Government-subsidized insurance for expensive coastal resorts built too close to the ocean for private insurance companies to be willing to insure them.
Problem is, these are all "corporate welfare" programs implemented and favored by the left. So how about it, lefties? Wanna put your money where your "rich fatcat"-hating mouths are and start by skewering your own sacred cows?
