How many yachts have you bought?

Well, not a yacht, but I own a 32' Sailboat.

Cool. Did a poor person own the company that built it?

Why don't you point out the period of time when the top tax rates were lower and jobs were being created in excess because of it.

Fat, drunk, and envious is no way to go through life, son.

I would, if I was ever dishonest with myself.

It really isn't my fault that you can't see past the mindless memes you've been programmed with.

You can't rebut the fact that demand rather than wealth determines how many people get employed so you stoop to petty personal insults.
Thank you.

What do you think wealthy business owners do with their money? Do they buy solid gold yachts and mink spats? Or do they re-invest some of their wealth back into their business, allowing it to expand and hire more people?

Nice choices you gave there.

How about the third option. They sit on that money because consumer demand and spending are down and it doesn't make sense to grow their business without customers.

Nah, that would make way too much real world sense.

If that is true, then why is it widely reported that he graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1991 from Harvard Law School?

Based on what? We can't see his grades.

Why do you suppose that is?

Yeah, I don't recall anyone ever claiming Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude. If he had done that, then we'd know his GPA was in the top 20%.

Barack Obama Biography - Facts, Birthday, Life Story - Biography.com

Obama returned from Kenya with a sense of renewal, entering Harvard Law School in 1988. The next year, he met Michelle Robinson, an associate at Sidley & Austin law firm in Chicago. She was assigned to be Obama's adviser during a summer internship at the firm, and soon the couple began dating. In February 1990, Obama was elected the first African-American editor of the Harvard Law Review, and he graduated magna cum laude in 1991.

And still nothing but opinions, no proof, no evidence, that"

1. Repealing the Bush Tax cuts and making Billionaires and Millionaires pay more in tax will kill jobs.

2, Millionaires and Billionaires create jobs (name them and describe the jobs)

3. Only the private sector creates jobs.

4. Shrinking government will jump start our economy (explain how adding thousands to the unemployment roles will benefit commerce, small business and the real estate market).

1. look at the economic situation in the 1920s and compare that to the 1930s. Less taxes vs. high taxes perfect example.
2. Name one job created by an entity that does not have capital. You can't.
3. It is true. Economics 101, the government can not create wealth or jobs, it simply removes jobs from one sector and takes it for itself, or redistributes it through subsidies and entitlements. Wealth is only created by the private sector, read an economics book for further clarification. Perhaps economics in one lesson will get you started.
4. So we take in 18% of GDP, we spend 20%. You would rather spend 26% and up taxes than lower spending and lower taxes which will actually encourage and provide an environment for people to create businesses and jobs? Do you have common sense? It sure doesn't seem so.
5. State issue.
6. Most would say liberty is a good thing to have, so yes. How could it not be? You want the government to have MORE power? Give me a break.

I'm not going to bother with all your shit. It's too much "shit".

The taxes in the 1950's under Republican Eisenhower were over 90% on the wealthiest Americans. Did they leave the country? No. It was during that time the economy exploded and government invested in a Highway System and NASA. You know. The NASA that owns thousands of patents, has brought in billions to the government, made thousands of Americans rich, yea THAT NASA.

And both the Highways and NASA came from Republicans. NOT ANYMORE. They have become the party of the "stupid".

And in the 20's and 30's, the real cause of the depression was the income disparity between the top 1% and everyone else.

Republicans want a "watcher" for every pregnant woman in the US to make sure she has that baby. Once it's born, their job is done. They "lose interest".

This is why the right wingers need to go to school. They should be so ashamed, but they don't have enough education to know any better.

Every post you make sets up straw men that exist only in your delusions.

We would all be well served for you to explain why the current situation, the product of Democrat control since 2006, is so much better than the situation they assumed at that time.

Democrat policies are the cause. 9% to 16% unemployment is the effect.

Democratic policies? Name them.

YES!

Living at the shore, I know many boat builders and they all swear they are poor.

Yes, but you're gullible.

Do you really think exceptions wouldn't be made?

Why don't you point out a nation that has ever taxed itself into prosperity.

You're only partially right.

Companies are sitting on excess capital because of this Administration's hostility towards business, and its "ready, fire, aim!" strategy of enacting business regulation.

And that comes from business owners.

Would it surprise you? Hell, they let him be editor of Law Review without ever publishing any papers.

1. Repealing the Bush Tax cuts and making Billionaires and Millionaires pay more in tax will kill jobs. Bush cut lots of taxes. I'll need you to be more specific, or my answer will be that they have less to invest back into their companies, thus slowing or reversing growth.

2, Millionaires and Billionaires create jobs (name them and describe the jobs). From garbage man to CEO

3. Only the private sector creates jobs. The government creates jobs by taxing money out of the economy. see Venzualia and cuba for how poorly that works.

4. Shrinking government will jump start our economy (explain how adding thousands to the unemployment roles will benefit commerce, small business and the real estate market). Less spent = less debt = increase in the value of the dollar.
Were you upset when Clinton unemployed tens of thousands of Vets?

5. Gay & Lesbian Marriage threatens traditional marriage. Religious right blather.

6. Citizens United v. FEC is good for America. Not familiar enough to comment properly.

1. Prove increasing taxes will help the economy.

2. Prove welfare is good to be on for life.

3. Any evidence the the Dept of Education has improved education in the face of our falling ranking.

4. Is it Constitutional or lawful for a sitting US President to execute a citizen w/o a trial?

5. Will destroying Wall St make things better.

6. Will ending capitalism make us all equal.

That's b/c you are one of the many people that don't like link that don't reflect your world view.

Reagan lowered taxes and the economy boomed.
Clinton lowered taxes and the economy boomed.
W Bush lowered taxes and the economy boomed.

That doesn't answer the question. We're at record low tax rates and you seem to be of the opinion that taxes are either still too high or shouldn't be raised because that doesn't make good economic sense. So I'm asking you to point out an example to support your position. I can easily point to periods of time where we had higher top tax rates and more economic prosperity.

I know you can't answer my question because you're all talk, so what do you do? Avoid answering the question. Good job.

So 'high' tax rates has nothing to do with it now?

1. less income in pocket prevents spending which stifles demand = less jobs

2. more income in pocket enables spending which creates demand = jobs

3. only the private sector creates jobs which do not require tax funding

4. reduced .gov red tape and taxes = more jobs

Thank you for proving your lack of historical knowledge.

here, let me lib it up for you;

Evil Reagan lowered taxes and the economy boomed purely b/c of something a democrat did.
Clinton lowered taxes and the economy boomed even though the evil cons tried to stop him.
Evil W shrub lowered taxes and the economy boomed purely b/c of something a democrat did, and the fact that the economy tanked when Good Democrats took over both Houses is pure coincidence.
