They dont care if the recovery fails.

We might as well tax the rich too huh?
 
So of you dont care about the economy tanking then we should go ahead and tax the rich right?
 
Remeber your only reason for not wanting to tax the rich is it will end the recovery.

According to you all there is no recovery and its for the best if we kill more jobs and truely end the recovery.

That leaves no reason not to raise taxes on the rich right?
 
well then lets try taxing the rich first and see if we can avoid crashing it entirely
