will cost jobs.

At least by the logic that increasing tax rates will cost jobs.

If you take money from rich people they'll fire people to get their money back.

But why

is it incentive to raise taxes on the poor to make them work harder for the same money

but disincentive to raise taxes on the rich?

If you lower taxes on the rich, aren't your fueling the idle class? Won't you get
cocktail hours and caviar out of that tax cut instead of more productive work?

The logic of Supply Side Trickle Down Darwinist Economics is not consistently applied.
