Ask the question, "should the rich pay more taxes?", then you will see what 99.999% in favor looks like.
Define rich.....
Is it fair that a person who attended college for 8 years and became a doctor with $100K+ in student loans be taxed to the point where they earn the same as a trash collector with a GED in NYC? I don't think it is....
Your bit confused. The GOP Ideology is to give tax breaks to corporations and for some bizzare fashion trickle down to the common folks. Your ideas have what put us in the mess we are in today.
You think all the billions upon billions is getting handed to the homeless to build infrastructure? It's trickle down but instead of voluntary it's forced....
"Those" ideas had absolutely nothing with what we are in today. Look at the Great Depression and why they needed the Glass-Stegall Act. Then look in 1999 when that act got repealed. After that capitalism took over. That's what got us into this mess. No more no less than someone thinking they could tinker with their heart to capitalize on "new" ideas.

ok, if they move off shore for a tax shelter than we will put stiff tariffs on the product where it will be more attractive for a company to stay onshore than if would be to go off... Solution solved, that was simple!
I'll never understand the alternative: how the government has the right to confiscate more wealth from those who earn it, and give it to those who haven't. How does that stimulate the economy? Anywhere else, if this is tried, it's called STEALING.
Well besides moving away from the greatest generation to the greediest generation republicans and democrats alike have been doing these "credit" type deals.. The child tax credit is exactly what you are referring to.
Tax cut has the same effect on national debt as spending does, but with inferior return than other forms of spending most of which are being marketed by right wing as pork.
But, tax cuts are as easy sell to simpletons as they are a means to push this country deeper into debt.
Does it, then, come as a surprise that politicians without real ideas for America sell tax cuts as election rhetoric and that the national debt has risen the most under "low tax" presidents who have presided over more than 80% of the trillions in national debt we face today.
And what decades have the greatest growth periods related to tax rates?
Get rid of the IRS (huge government savings right there). Everyone who works pays the same percentage of their gross income. Earn below the poverty line. Pay nothing! Earn greater than 90% of American's; Pay twice the perctentage in taxes.
- Build a guarded fence along our border(s) and put an end to illegal immigration.
- Stop policing the world.
- Place huge taxes on corporations who've moved operation's off shore and entice these corporations back to US soil.
And it covers a higher percentage of the population for that ever popular election time...
