Tax cuts: close-mindedness from the left
Just perception, based on observation, but... I suspect that the right could come up with the most awesome tax cut and reform that would be of great benefit to the middle class and the poor, give them virtually everything they want and need, and yet the left would still complain if by chance the wealthy someone got some small benefit, too.
Lower/middle class get what it needs, left's response is: " :2mad: ZOMG! More tax cuts for the wealthy! This is so unfair!"
I ask you, what happens when you lower taxes for the rich.. and they don't use their tax savings to pay their workers better, or they don't reinvest into their business. They don't start another business and create jobs. No. They pocket their tax savings and go relax on a beach in the Caribbean while everyone here suffers the brunt of tax cuts.
Education takes a hit, our roads take a hit, our quality of living and so forth takes a hit as.. less tax revenue, less money to go around.
What about close-mindedness again?
Tell me, should a company that just shipped 8,000 jobs overseas, be entitled to a tax cut?
Should a bank that made extremely risky bets, who went underwater, be bailed out and not left to fail? If you want these banks to not fail, do they get tax cuts too?
Well why not? It stimulates the economy. Kiss the rich's ass and maybe they'll shower us all with jobs. A golden shower.. of piss, you're damn right.
Maybe the rich will BUY stuff, woo hoo! stimulation!
A: the rich end up buying yachts and german luxury cars, all of those jobs are not in America. So someone is getting a job. And it's not us
B: many of the rich aren't big spenders anyways, they use their tax savings to invest and make themselves RICHER.
Why people continue to defend the rich elite when they have seen little to none of their lion's share, I don't understand it. Oh, you own a business and like tax cuts? What happens when big company Walmart comes in, engages in price war (as they can use slave labor in China to make their clothes etc) and puts you out of business.
Free market. Yay. Now Walmart moves into a small town, sucks all the mom and pop stores up and now they can charge what they want. Not only that, Walmart becomes the largest employer in say, a small town. Now you can't go next door to their competitor who will pay you more or better benefits. Nope. There is no competition. W-Mart pays you nothing because there are no alternatives; in many cases.
