If you raise taxes on the rich they will have less money, and then fire one of there middle class workers. Then you will have a huge tax break for middle class seeing as you will have no income and be getting a check from the gov on unemployment.

Really. Show me how that worked the last time Bush Sr. and Clinton raised taxes. Specifically, how the raising of taxes on the rich effected employment rates.

The corollary would be that tax cuts for the rich would lower the unemployment rate. Let me know how that's done since you've been alive.
