So the rich need the Boosh tax cuts to continue to "Create jobs" and "Save the Economy"?

[NightWatcher]

The cuts came into existence ten years ago... How are they working out for us right now? How many jobs are they creating right now?

So all we hear is how these 15,000 (or so) millionaires and billionaires need these cuts to save them 3% of their tax burden. What about the 2.5 million people who are about to lose their unemployment benefits (grocery money, rent money, heating money...) as Winter is about to set in.

Fuck the rich, people are going to starve and freeze to death this winter.

1. "Fuck the rich" is right! And fuck the poor and middle class who worship the rich enough

to give them everything.

The rich couldn't do it alone.

2. If only they had a little MORE spare cash!

Wealthy people save their money. They'll just sock it away more if they pay less.

Like the businesses that are hoarding cash. They could bust the recession today by letting go of some, but they don't.

5. you give a poor guy a hundred bucks, it's back in the economy that day

he also pays sales tax on whatever he purchased


you give a billionaire a hundred bucks, he wires it offshore

8. Exactly. And the stupid conservatives would say the poor guy "blows" his money

Yeah, rich people can afford to sock away cash they don't need, and then sneer at how poor people can never hang onto it.

Poor people spend money quickly on everyday necessities. They buy food, pay their overdue electric bill...
I haven't seen a poor person check out of Wal-Mart with a 60-inch plasma TV lately, have you? :shrug:

4. I mean, I know repukes are insane.

But the fact that they are allowed to continue lying and continue pursuing ruinous policies that have ALREADY destroyed the economy, means that the rest of the country is insane too.

Fuck the rich!

7. Why are there so many idiots in this country? I can understand the very wealthy

fighting to keep their misly 3%. . .after all, they need that new yacht!

But what I don't understand, is all those poor and middle class people who believe that it is in their interest to keep the wealthy getting even wealthier. . . on the back of the poor and elderlies!!!

9. They don't accept facts or truth at all, if it conflicts with The Agenda

of course, if the rich did create jobs becasue of the tax cut, there should have been growth most of the last ten years instead of accelerating jobs losses. How they continue to deny this is a wonder.

10. Remember the news about trillions sitting on the sidelines? Why add to it?

Obviously nothing is "trickling down" so why put more capital on the sidelines. We know that's where it will go, because of the glut of money already there.

The best thing we could do would be to tax it back into circulation.
