Without the rich, we have no jobs. Not only that, but the rich pay most of the taxes, although a lot of people can't or don't believe it. To make it simple, think of Federal taxes as follows: a box full of money. This is the total tax revenue collected by the government. The total amount of money collected from the poor workers (most of us when compared to the rich) does not account to much (perhaps under one-third of the box). The rest of the money in the box is from the rich.
I imagine that the main reason why there isn't a flat tax is because the more complicated the system is, the more money the Government collects with the myriad of rules. Lets say that there is a flat tax at 25%. In this case, the poor worker who makes $100 per year pays $25.00 in Federal taxes. The rich guy who makes $1,000 per year pays $250 per year. So, it would take 10 of us poor workers to pay the amount 1 rich guy would pay.
""""Without the rich, we have no jobs.""""
Perfect size for a bumper sticker or mantra to chant yourself into a hypnotic state.....and don't the wealthy love it!
Ya, the wealthy produce jobs....so
WHERE ARE THE JOBS!!!!!!!????????
Do you know what the true unemployment rate is in the U.S.?
Could you tell your gods that they really should do what YOU believe and start producing some JOBS!!!!
The one thing Obama has really let us down on is not taking harder after the rich who continue to rob us blind and steal our country. He promised higher taxes and more regulation on the rich and has yet to deliver on either. Instead the rich are continuing right on with their robbery and theft from the working people just like they did under the Republicans.
How long are we going to put up with this crap? Until we all live under bridges while the rich we serve all live in Buckhead mansions? When are we going to stand up and say enough is enough and DEMAND the government go after the rich and rob them for a change?
Yeah taking their stuff sounds like an awesome plan. With any luck we'll end up about as well off as Zimbabwe.
I'm still waiting to find out just who gets forked. Are you talking income or net worth? Maybe we should call for heawings and Bawney Fwank can demand a wist of names.....????

Irrefutably true! Where did all the good jobs go??? Oh, that's right, the uber wealthy shipped them off to India. Where did the money they saved go? In their pockets in the form of multi billion $ bonuses. Their salaries have increased over 400% during the past decade while the average worker's salary has basically flat lined. If you still have a job at all ,that is, and you haven't been replaced by someone who will work for less. Without regulation, what's to stop this scenario from getting worse?

Nothing.
And do you notice that whenever I ask "Where are the jobs?" they have no answer. Just drool down their chins and chant "Did a poor guy ever give you a job?" like THAT'S clever, THAT'S a point ???
They then have to get back to the temple where they worship( and FEAR) the wealthy....
If the rich were not stealing up all blind, we would all be making more and living better and paying more in taxes. I would rather see 1000 millionaires than one billionaire! Tax the rich!
