Ok I think the GOP is making a huge mistake by still believing that trickle down economics will rebuild this country. This is a quote today from John Boehner: “The top 1 percent of wage earners in the United States pay 40 percent of the income taxes. The top 10 percent of wage earners pay 90 percent of the income taxes,” Boehner said. “The people he’s talking about taxing are the very people that we expect to reinvest in our economy and to create jobs in our country.
I think Boehner's statement is one of the biggest GOP lies and I don't think people are buying it. If Boehner's theory is true then why did we lose so many jobs under George Bush when the policy was in effect for 8 years?
Why did we have such a booming economy when Clinton raised taxes on the rich in his 8 years in office?
I have no sympathy for the super rich I like the Democrats plan to tax them heavily. Hell Reagan had the raise taxes and so did George H.Bush to raise revenues- why are the GOP acting as if Obama's idea is so harsh?
