Lower tax rates actually yield HIGHER tax revenue.
But the Democrats don’t care about that.
Obama explained why when he was on the campaign trail:
It’s about REVENGE.
Duh.

Starbucks to change accounting practices, pay more tax in UK
Reuters
7:22 AM CST, December 6, 2012
Coffee chain Starbucks said it could pay up to 20 million pounds more in tax as it announced plans to change its accounting practices, surrendering to criticism from lawmakers, campaigners and the media.
A Reuters examination of Starbucks accounts published in October showed the company had reported 13 years of losses at its UK unit, even as it told investors the operation was profitable and among the best performing of its overseas markets.
“We are making a commitment that we will propose to pay a significant amount of corporation tax during 2013 and 2014 regardless of whether our company is profitable during these years,” Starbucks UK managing director Kris Engskov said in the transcript of a speech sent to Reuters.
“We are still working through some of the calculations, but we believe we could pay or prepay somewhere in the range of 10 million pounds in each of the next two years in addition to the variety of taxes we already pay.”

As long as this machine keeps working, Obama has all the resource he needs.
Looks as if Obama&Co think trickle down poverty is a good thing.
Obama and the Dems know this is true as well as I do. Whenever I hear them go "Tax the rich", I know what they are *really* saying is "tax the middle class".
They are dishonest to the core...
