Well I guess rich people don't just sit on their money, and their spending will naturally create jobs, which is beneficial for society as a whole.

Or I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to economics and should get the hell out of this thread

Actaully the poor spend money because they have to but it's been shown that rich don't change habits no matter how much they make. So lets say Mitt romney's 25,000,000 dollars a year was in middle class pockets, they will Spend almost all of it, if not all of it. Mitt most likely does not spend anywhere near that and I would be surprised if he spent 1/4 of the money. So this is why we need a middle class. Tax's must go up on the rich to build things we have always built, Bettering our Infrastructure. Better road technology( We should have smart roads). Better water treatment and cleaning, faster internet, High speed rail, Green technologies, the list goes on and on and people don't want to tax the rich more. This needs to be done. This is where the right wins all the time, making the middle class poor get jealous over what the middle class guy makes. Your mad because someone makes a ok wage and get by well. WTF!. The middle class needs to reward good pay not get jealous and fight amongst our selfs. Rich need to pay, i do and so do others and when we make more!! we all win. So do the rich because there selling more products. I don't understand why people have a problem with this. Our teachers need better pay, so do our firefighters! why has our people turned against the hero's. O yea the rich guy pays to have us fight amoungst ourselfs. Remember big bizz see's profits over people, Not people over profits. Union yes. Remember if the rich's tax's go up, must likely yours go down. He won't feel it at all, you will.
