If you tax the bottom half more, there will be less consumerism back into the economy...
How do you get more "consumerism" into an economy by taxing people who can't afford to pay their taxes?
How do you get people to invest if you take it all away?
who is taking it all away? Federal taxes are the lowest they have been in decades.
Ummm No, based on federal tax receipts to GDP there are only 11 years since 1940 that taxes have been higher (the most recent years were during the dotCom bubble and even then they were within 2% of current rates) and based on projections under the current tax codes they will match the high watermark for the dotCom bubble by 2021.
...and that's just FEDERAL taxes.
