What are the rich going to PUT ON THE TABLE?
Please, don't tell me they get to keep their tax cuts from Bush, so they can "create" jobs. It is well documented that tax cuts DO NOT create jobs.

That is NOT a shared sacrifice. WHAT are the rich putting on the table?

4. They're putting their empty bags on the table
So we can fill them with whatever they haven't stolen yet.

7. We need revenue
but I think the Dems and the Pres share a lot of blame on this one. They should have passed the new taxes when they could. I think they bargained them away for the health care plan.

8. The rich are takers. They don't "put" anything
That would mean releasing their sweaty grasp on something.

10. They are pretty busy, offshoring and outsourcing
But if you leave anything on the table they will probably steal it.

12. They'll Be Writing The Big Checks...
Next year a billion dollars will be spent on various campaigns and that money isn't coming from the $50 and $100 donors...it's from the "job creators" and the ones who buy the tickets to the $1,000 a plate dinners and write the $2300 checks. Not hard to see where this is going...it's all about the money.
