You'll say "oh so many jobs will be lost, it'll be bad for the economy". Why will jobs be lost? Because employers will cut back so as to keep their own profits up? Thus perpetuating the vicious cycle? Maybe the whole system needs to be re-vamped. maybe people need to stop looking out for their own damn pockets. But hey, capitalism's the american way right?
I understand you really are jealous of people that are financially successful in their lives, but you really need to educate yourself on what these taxes will do.


And yes, only a trillion and change. Less than $150B a year combined, which is less than 10% of this years deficit.
