So a couple rich people are saying that in order to make jobs in the US, they should fork over more money, and then uncle same, can, what, employ more cops, firemen, and soldiers?
Someone explain the logic behind this? Why does one need a law in order to say, hey, i want to have more of my money taken away in taxes...? Why not just say, hey, I think I can help, here's some money? Sorry, but this is the reason I don't trust it. There is an agenda here, and it ain't to help the common man.
Also, again, to think that giving more money to government = more jobs...is just stupid. Already the federal government is the single LARGEST employer in america, more so than any other 2 mega corporations and all their subsidiaries combined. Anyone ever think maybe that's a problem? What happens when the majority of americans work government jobs? They pay taxes on their incomes, which come to them by the good graces of the taxes non government people pay...and then you just watch it all funnel down a drain...
