i am amazed at the people who consistently defend the rich, especially the very rich, and think they have it so bad tax wise.
no, they don't.

everyone, especially the top income earners, are paying less in taxes. and as those burdens have decreased on 'job creators', can someone explain to me why the supposed job creation that would occur hasn't? the top rates have declined steadily. so why hasn't employment increased steadily as a result?

And lo a great silence fell up on the earth. I think the answer is the great corporations giveth and they taketh away.
