As far as your argument that big corporations and rich people put more money into the economy. It barely makes sense. You're saying that because people buy their product, somehow, they pump more money into the government and economy because of it? So that money, makes up for the money they would be paying without tax cuts? Maybe you need to go look at how the middle class has been slipping below the poverty line under these policies, favoring the rich, before you run around advocating trickle-down economics.
Where do you live?? The "Hamptons" My own father rents out some smaller houses right now and he has a women i one who is currently living off welfare.. Her TV is so f-ing big that its hard to get in the door. Dont know maybe she sells drugs. Is your head in the clouds or are you really that excited about paying for the poor ppl. Ignorance how about you look around. I barley watch the news but i see what I am speaking about everyday. Im a military guy right and there was a toy drive for underprivileged low income families that didnt make that much money. I thought i was doing something from the heart until i noticed all these the ppl coming to get these toys were driving in nicer cars then mine. Maybe im underprivileged you tell me.

I dont feel like anyone driving a 40000 dollar vehical should be picking up free toys just like i dont think that that same person should get free everything. I understand if your a demo thats cool but dont call me ignorant just listen to my points as i have done the same for you.

Its kinda like the union workers strong arming companies for unrealistic wages. This leads to the death of the company and the people who loose there jobs will knock on the doors of the people who just wanted to work and were happy with there wages.

To end if it completely overexaggerated then why the hell do they need to tax anyone to give others a break. Is it my fault or yours or your parents that these ppl cant afford anything? Maybe its piss poor planing on there part either way middle class america will be paying to make there health care virtually free. Thats something that i dont agree with. Maybe get off your A$$ and do something.
