For the life of me, I'll never understand the rationalizing behind what you are proposing, which is basically stealing. It also encourges rich people to stop reaching new heights, which would ultimately hurt the poor and the middle class. The rich hire others to INCREASE their wealth, if they realize that increasing their wealth will ultimately decrease it, they will stop hiring. Even if that was not the case, taking money from people who earned it legally isn't moral, it's theft. It doesn't matter if the majority voted to steal that money, it's still theft. Oh, and like the guy you quoted, I obviously don't have 5 millions in my bank account. |
"In 2004 under President George W. Bush, Washington let corporations temporarily bring money from offshore profits at a flat rate of around 5.25%. But a few years later, Bush's own chief economic advisors said there was no evidence that jobs were created as a result."
Guess what?? They bought back shares instead of bringing jobs. I believe they define insanity of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Guess what... Republicans are insane. You are insane.
