Those old folks are looking at their younger children and older grandchildren who've been unemployed for most of the last 5 years when they should have been working and they're saying to themselves, "why don't you focus on jobs first before talking about taxing people with marginal incomes' ~ which is because the old codgers are smart and know that taxing the poor doesn't create jobs except for IRS auditors and federal courts.

Tax reform and bringing back prospertiy are two different things ~ and class warfare based on who has a job and who doesn't really doesn't cut it with the folks who are dealing with it directly.

Doubtful. Let’s face it - things run in families. People who were industrious and hard-working tend to raise industrious and hard-working children, who in turn tend to be able to keep or find jobs even in bad times. Remember, even during the Great Depression, ~75% of people who were of age and physically able did have jobs.

Your argument is incorrect because it assumes that somehow, jobs and taxes are completely unrelated. They are not. Despite what the “non-partisan” CRS says, cutting taxes on businesses, and making a generally business-friendly environment for “the rich” (i.e. people who work hard and start businesses, etc.) would keep jobs here. Raising taxes because of misguided class warfare arguments such as yours will drive jobs away. Mitt Romney seems to understand this, while you seem not to.
