There are some reading here that do understand and agree with you, but we know there are those on here that will dispute any facts no matter how nice you try to show them.

I like the comment section of that article:

Hold the phone, folks. This commentary by Akin is wrong and misleading on so many levels. First, the expiration of the Bush tax cuts takes us back to the Clinton rates, still below the Reagan years. I need to remind Mr. Akin that during the Clinton years, we had the largest economic expansion IN HISTORY, and a national debt half of what it is now. So the premise that investments will be moved into TBonds or Gold is ridiculous. Let's also be clear about "effective" tax rates. The middle class, while paying less dollar-wise, actually pays a higher rate. Why? Fewer deductions, less property, accountants and lawyers all enjoyed by the wealthy. There needs to be a better balance. Invoking Lenin, Wright, 9/11 in the context of this article are like the McCain campaign - throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks, not to mention they are irresponsible and inciteful. These are examples of an individual grasping at anything to invoke a negative reaction. Let's be clear, the rich do not make the nation go. The middle class makes the nation go - by consuming. When jobs and wages disappear, purchasing power disappears. When purchasing power disappears, products and services do not get purchased. When people do not buy, other people get laid off. Also, mortgages do not get paid. And we know where that leads...right where we are today. The key is to keep jobs HERE in the US, export more than we import and grow the economy the way it was designed, not from the top down, but from the bottom up. Regarding Obama taxing industry - I reviewed Obama's tax plan in detail. It is not there. You basicall just made that up. Really? As if we wouldn't know. Final thought: Our largest export to China and India right now is our Manufacturing base and the middle class jobs that go with them. Mr. Akin, you made a valiant effort, but alas, we are so much more informed these days. The truth has a habit of coming out. You are exposed.
