it is always interesting to see how the other side sees things. telling but interesting.
I especially liked it when the argument was made for capital gains to be taxed at the same rate as 'wages'. This of course fails to understand that capital gains are the result of invested money being "risked", there is no presumption of profit as there is with wages. You see when investing you may actually lose money which combined with a high tax rate provides less incentive to take that risk. Remember that those who earn wages are profiting on the backs of other peoples risks.
Of course those 'rich' people do create the jobs no matter how hard you want this to not be true.
And the blather about the healthcare bill providing ecomonic relief as opposed to the opposite ignores what has happened since its passage, namely the majority of the countries biggest employers plans to dump tens of millions of people onto govt's dole. You see the way the financing was rigged so that the thing passed depended on business simply taking the hit when that most certainly wont happen no matter how many hearings Waxman calls.
