Populist Reform of the Democratic Party
In reply to the discussion: No apologies from me, I can't imagine a more vomit inducing nominee for the Democratic Party [View all]I don't believe anyone who is a democrat believes any spending is bad. Raising taxes on ones who can afford to pay those taxes as in the 50's will be the way to go. Raising taxes on lower income individuals and families IS NOT THE WAY TO GO. Taxing all in an unfair way is not the way to run a government. You did not address the unfair aspect of the tax code in this country. Taxing individuals for corporate greed is not the way to go. Taxing individuals who live in the mountains to pay for new conveniences for those who live on the shore is not the way to go. Cutting taxes of the individuals who make far too little in money as it is, should be the way to go. Taxing farmers who pollute the bay should happen, The tax % corporations making billions should not be smaller then the % of an individual making 20,000 per year. Yes taxes do help create jobs, but you did not also state, when consumers have MORE spendable income, not less will spur the creation of those jobs. You tax someone to death, and they are not going to spend. Corporations and governments are NOT job creators, the middle class, lower middle class and upper middle class workers are the job creators. You continue to tax them in out of bound ways and you will see the jobs disappear.
