"but CEO's like Romney use their tax cuts to buy vacation homes, private jets, and large car collections.
" Which PROVIDES HUNDREDS OF JOBS.
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.)

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.

The rich CEO's/corporations are using their tax cuts to move their US factories to Asia.
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.
What do they say "republicans use manipulation to protect their Fox news/Rush radio corporate agenda?"
My doctor/businessman cousin has a 35% federal tax rate, and billionaire CEO's have a 11% federal tax rate, and that means something (because its unfair.)

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.
So only CEO's create jobs when they build a new house?
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.

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.
