Than explain why the Paul Ryan Budget, which cuts taxes on the upper incomes in exchange for across the board cuts in social programs, passed the House?
Don't tell me you support the GOP, yet don't know their economic platform....

They're better at grammar than the non-wealthy and deserve a break.
Your petty attack on the OP's grammar indicates you have nothing better to argue.

Eliminate waste and then there will be PLENTY of money to lend, plenty to invest in infrastructure.....you answer to YOUR problems is tax someone else. It's a failure from the start.
I'm not rich. Not even close and this year the AMT might kick in. Capiche? Regardless, the LAST thing I want to do is to tax ANYONE to help me out. I'll do fine. I keep clawing away at other opportunities and one will hit. If, for whatever reason, they do not, it's no one's fault but my own.
When will your people realize YOU are responsible for your well being, not some ******* down the road. Make your own day "go bedduh" and quit looking to steal other people's cash.
So you'd rather cut the government by 30% (laying off thousands of workers and increasing national poverty) than make the people profiting off the government pay more in taxes? That's a pretty **** poor proposal.

Denying the Antecedent You are using this fallacy if you deny the antecedent of a conditional and then suppose that doing so is a sufficient reason for denying the consequent
The evidence you suppressed is right there.
Why don't you explain it to everyone?
And that is something else you will adamantly refuse to define objectively in no uncertain terms, just like "Living Wage" (snicker).
Challenging...

Actually, the OP addressed those points in this thread. Ironically you didn't quote that part.
Do those of you, who defend the wealth made off the backs of the rest of us, believe that if you defend them, they will like you and you will be "cool?"
You know, when I worked for a wealthy person it was because I wanted the money more than I wanted the time. I showed up because I thought I was getting the better end of the deal. And when I first bought software from Bill Gate's company and a computer from Michael Dell's company, I received far more value and wealth-creating productivity than the price I paid for the software and the computer.
Those wealthy people got wealthy by serving me. Understanding that has been hugely valuable to me: it showed me the path to make wealth for myself--by serving others, by being of value to the rest of society. Started with nothing, worth more than a million now. You might improve your own position, and the rest of society, if you learned the same lesson.
Now, if I was some kind of pigeon that only did business with people who are screwing me, I might feel exactly like you do. But I am not a pigeon, and I only spend money when I value the purchased items or services more than the money. I guess you just throw your money around??

Get over yourself and get over money.
Money is made up. It only has intrinsic value by law. There are more things to life than money. Heck, greed and gluttony are sins, yet the holier than thou Republicans endorse greed to the fullest. Hypocrisy.
This is the 21st century. People don't actually give a damn how much money others have. The one's that do end up miserable. It probably explains why the average American male is trending heavily towards fat, broke, overworked, stupid, and angry as hell.
