I just don’t get the Repub Pols who have no clue how to respond to the “Tax the Rich” mantra. The so-called Rich are the small business owners (including your doctor, folks) who have payrolls to meet. I watched Sen. Kyl be interviewed yesterday, and not once did he mention that taxing the Rich would only increase unemployment - what gives?
“...what gives?”
It’s politically taboo to show sympathy for rich people. Let a Republican do it, and watch how fast the liberal kooks come on to start the demagoguery. Rich people create real jobs and wealth, and as a poor person, I have the greatest appreciation for them. For instance, the guy who owns the bank we use has several businesses and investments in other businesses. He has created jobs, futures and security for numerous families over the years. I can’t say the same for a single poor person I know, me included. Let the rich people keep their money, and create jobs to help us poor people. At least they aren’t stealing it from us like the government does.
