Who do you think builds those houses?

Who do you thinks MAKES all the material and furnishings that go into those items.

Who do you think transports all the material used, etc., etc., etc.? The boogy man?
Why not give the following $6.6 trillion dollars to middle class Americans?
(So they can buy houses and cars and create jobs, just like Mitt Romney does.)

The rich CEO's/corporations are using their tax cuts to move their US factories to Asia.

Rich people are much more likely to spend their money overseas or on expensive imported goods. I'm not saying that they should be punished for it, but your argument doesn't work on these grounds. Poor people are the ones who are almost 100% guaranteed to spend their money locally.

Exactly. Righties tell us we should bend over and take it from the rich because supposedly they're some indispensable asset to the American public, while in reality they exist to make money and will happily do things that hurt Americans if it is good for their bottom line.

Cut them off and have them stand on their own two feet, and realize that they need the government and the rest of the country as much as we need them.

I don't know why What do they say "democrats use manipulation to protect their ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, liberal radio corporate agenda?"

If you believe the dems are NOT in the same boat your are either very naive, misinformed or very ignorant or vet partisian.

Look at the Bush tax cuts. The richest 20% of Americans got 70% of the Bush tax cuts. And the middle 20% of Americans making $36,000–59,000 a year got 10% of the Bush tax cuts.

I guess the boogy man stops middle class house building from creating jobs (so republicans only give tax cuts to the rich.)
"So only CEO's create jobs when they build a new house?"

YOU brought up CEO's.

If you are going to be childish go back the kids forums. You aren't worth any more time trying to discuss serious issues.

Yes, it is unfair to tax someone off of their income.

The rich will always buy more expensive things(creates jobs) tax spending habits. Not counter-productive earning habits.

Do you not understand tax rates at all????

The tax rates by income you list are marginal rates, not effective rates. Huge difference.
