I understand the trickle down theory and sometimes in the past, especially under Ronald Regan, it worked. However, the same process (cutting taxes for the uber wealthy to promote economic growth) utterly failed under GW Bush.
Now Obama wants to reverse these tax cuts, raise them a bit for a small minority of rich individuals and companies, bring back the capital gains rate to essentially the same rates as under Clinton, while cutting taxes for the vast majority of Americans. But that's socialism, communism, redistributing the wealth and God knows whatever other evil things are going to happen.
So you (collectively) want to continue to give tax relief to those that need it the least and continue to tax those that can't make ends meet at the same rate, and that's perfectly ok?
I don't get it, I really don't.
