So who produces jobs? Business.
Who owns the businesses? The wealthy.
So if you want to kill jobs and prolong the recession, tax the people who can actually solve the problem.

Thee you go, letting those pesky facts get in the way.

slashing spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, administration officials said.
I wonder if this why he only sends 17,000 troops to Afghanistan instead of 30,000 like he promised?

Because Dem politicians and their voter base of welfare cases don’t pay taxes and don’t understand how it might affect the economy.
In 1990, when Congress imposed a luxury tax on yachts, private airplanes and expensive automobiles, Sen. Ted Kennedy and then-Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell crowed publicly about how the rich would finally be paying their fair share of taxes. But yacht retailers reported a 77 percent drop in sales, and boat builders laid off an estimated 25,000 workers.
What happened? Kennedy and Mitchell simply assumed that the rich would behave the same way after the imposition of the luxury tax as they did before and the only difference would be more money in the government’s coffers. They had a zero-elasticity vision of the world, namely that people do not respond to price changes. People always respond, and the only debatable issue is how much and over what period.
