The current state of the stock market has absolutely nothing to do with the Bush tax cuts and everything to do with Obama's and the Fed's current policies.
When people with money can borrow it virtually for free and then get a really good return in the market why would they risk that same money on new business ventures in an economy that is barely growing at 1%?
Well I'll be damned, skull finally accidentally told the truth.
Well no shit skull. if you actually recognize that the supposed top 1% "job creators" are actually just borrowing money to make money with in the markets, why in the fuck do you and people like you care if they pay a higher percentage in taxes than they currently do?
YOU ADMIT that even with their Bush tax cuts they didn't create those promised jobs. They just took those cheap bailout dollars after the Bush collapse and spent them in the stock market. What a job creation strategy that was.
And you were correct twice. The Bush stock market sure didn't look like the market now.
I didn't admit anything about the Bush tax cuts other than they have nothing to do with the current state of the market.
And in case you haven't understood my stance on taxes.
IDGAF how much anyone makes. I do not believe that just because a person happens to make more than another that a higher percentage of his money should be confiscated by the government.
And I never called any segment of society "job creators" that's your schtick not mine
your use of language is wrong. the tax structure is not confiscatory.
you haven't as yet addressed why the top 1% pays a smaller PERCENTAGE of what they make in taxes than the middle and working classes. you need to address that issue. and flat tax is not it nor is a VAT which takes a much higher percentage from working people than the wealthy.
