Republicans don't want you to know...

[kentuck]

...that taxes were recently raised on the top 1% that they call the "job creators" and that we did not lose jobs.

In fact, with higher taxes, more jobs were created than any of the experts predicted.

Also, the stock market hit an all-time high.

So, taxes are raised and more jobs are created and the stock market goes thru the roof...

Shhhhhhh....

1. Of course. Prying the money out of their greedy fists and sharing the wealth

Is always good for the economy.

2. I've always found it odd...

... that conservatives like Tea Partiers can so easily believe that wealth concentrated in the hands of teachers and firemen and other unionized workers (note to the un-initiated: wealth is NOT actually concentrated there) is somehow a "bad thing"... and yet they still believe that wealth concentrated in the hands of corporate executives (note to the uninitiated: wealth IS actually concentrated there) through artificially low tax rates is somehow a "good thing."

3. Expected news, but good. NOW: Let's raise 'em some more

Raise bottom 1/2 of top 1% to 41%.
Raise the top 1/2 of those 1-percenters top rate to 45%.


Thank you, thank you very much...

4. Of course, it is only a newsflash to those who don't pay attention to what works in the world.

And that would be republicans - "Don't tell us what works in Europe, Canada or Australia. We are Americans!"

5. Yeah, but they will ignore that.

In fact, with the sequester looming to strangle all economic growth, they will be all over the corporate airwaves blaming the repercussions on the tax increases.
