Sniper, it's not about teachers, firefighters, and cops getting rich. It's about laying off teachers, police officers, and fire fighters. They won't have jobs, period. They are laid off. No job. No money to spend in the community.
When you work hard, what you accumulate is YOURS. You pass laws and you tell me that you want to take it away from me because YOU know how to use it best.
The rich are making the rules.
Income from investments is taxed at a lower rate than income from work.
Why aren't both kinds of income taxed at the same rate?
Maybe because ~50% pay no income taxes at all.. and in order to pander for the votes of those that are kept without that tax burden and stake in the game, rates on earners and producers have been jacked up... because it is easier to pander when you come bearing gifts that are paid for by others
