But personally, I'd support a return to Clinton-era status quo for ALL citizens. End the wars, even if it means throwing our allies in the Middle East under the bus and watching them die in agony. Raise taxes to pre-Dubya levels.

There's no doubt that the guy will "survive," but it's not him we're trying to deal with. We are trying to MAKE JOBS! He is the very guy that can do it. When you hammer him, you impede him investing such that a job results from it.
Tell me. Just how much many SHOULD the government be allowed to extort out of these people? I've got an idea, how about CUTTING SPENDING? When I get in financial trouble, I can't go extort money from people, I have to CUT SPENDING!
They need to cut spending and I mean SERIOUSLY cut spending! When they do that, remove some of the strangle holds from businesses and leave these peoples taxes alone, THEN we can see some investment and economic growth and for anyone who misses the connection, that means JOBS!
