That's awfully nice of you.

On the surface this is very easy to believe and sounds great. Digging into it a a layer or maybe two, shows the fault in it.

To begin with, even if you taxed the top earners at ONE HUNDRED PERCENT, that means taking ALL of their earnings, it would only net about $250B which would fall WAAAAAYYYYY short of covering the massive deficit that has massively increased under B.O. in spite of his campaign pledge to cut it in half.

Not only would that tax money not come anywhere close to covering the deficit, but taxing the top earners heavily takes away their incentive to invest. If they don't invest, then they don't produce new jobs.

This strategy is straight out of the Communist manifesto and has worked in the past in other countries,....... temporarily. It appears to be working here.
I can't believe you keep dropping this turd in here. Every day you drop it in a thread, and accuse everyone of being unable to perform simple fourth grade math; and every day I ask you to provide a source or show us you math. Shortly after that is when you scamper off to your afternoon nap, or maybe you go do some ground loops I don't know. What I do know is that you do more to undermine your credibility, and hence the credibility of your ideas than anyone else. Are you a secret propaganda operative of the liberal establishment? I couldn't imagine a better one than you.
