I don't live in a fantasy world, you're confusing me with a liberal.
I know I can't spend my way out of debt, I know we can't tax
the rich to death. The new President of France plans to tax the rich
at 75%, wealthy Jews are already planning on moving to Switzerland,
so how many wealthy will be left to tax? The government set the capital
gains tax at 15% to encourage investments in businesses which creates
jobs and a larger tax base. The wealthy get a good return on investment
which they reinvest in more business and industry creating more jobs
and an increased tax base. Now Obama say we have to punish the
wealthy for investing their money in business and industry by taking
away their profits and incentive to invest.
Does that make sense?
