You will notice, this thread doesn't begin with a cut-n-paste 'ope-ed' from some partisan internet source, like those on the left typically give us. My threads tend to come from me, and my thoughts, and if there is information online to support what I am saying, I may or may not reference it. Unlike mot pinheads, I have enough competency to articulate my own thoughts, and can compose a fairly decent thread without the inclusion of the work of others. But... I understand, it has become a kind of internet tradition, to post a 'cite' to illustrate how your point is valid, because you need support for things that are otherwise insane. If you didn't post those links, people might have you committed or something.
I saw desh's thread entitled; why tax cuts do not create jobs, and I resisted the urge to click it, I knew what was in there already! Yet another piss-pants liberal blogger opinion, rooted and steeped in left-wing myopic idiocy and total misconception of reality. But it's important I resisted the urge to click the link... for a week! That's progress for me!
The very idea that lowering tax rates on the people who would create a private sector job, wouldn't cause conditions more favorable for them to create a job, is incomprehensible. It defies any reasonable logic. Instead of relying on logic and reality, this viewpoint must rely on incompetent analysis of the information at hand. A presumption that defies reality, and maintains that all rich people will behave in a particular way, all the time. This, of course, is a incoherent thought that is enabled through a developed class envy, which dictates that all rich people will always do and behave in the same manner, regardless of the circumstance. Therefore, in the mind of a pinhead, it makes perfect sense.
In reality, there is no true definition of "the rich" ...it's a label. Some people have great assets, but are not rich. Some people are very rich, yet have very few material assets. Some people are wealthy and don't consider themselves wealthy, others are not wealthy, but think they are. And wealth itself, comes in many different forms. Some pinhead will chortle out the stupidity that 40% of rich people inherited their wealth and didn't earn it...but that means 60% of them earned their wealth, every penny of it!
In all of my years of being a jack of all trades, master of none... (I have held about 100 different job titles in my life) I have never once been offered a job by a poor person. The people in our society, who create the jobs and hire the people for those jobs, are not poor, and mostly not even middle class, they are wealthy. To people with millions or billions of dollars, a 3% increase in tax rate is a pretty big deal. And pinheads can parade around with stupid little numbers trying to show where it doesn't amount to all that much cash to a rich person, but the point is not the cash. There is a cumulative effect when taxes are lowered, it helps promote and create optimism, and encourages those with wealth to become prospective again. Sure, it only means a few more dollars in a rich man's pocket, but he is motivated by things other than money. Knowing the tax rates are lower, he also knows tax rates are lower for his competitors, from the others at the top of the food chain, and realizing this, coupled with the drive and determination that brought wealth in the first place, the rich person acts on this impulse.
Oh, but Dixie.... 1% of the people controls 85% of the wealth!! ....Then you'd think it would behoove us to treat them a little nicer!
