Michael, you obviously know nothing about basic economics. If the middle class doesn’t have the money to purchase goods thereby creating a greater demand for more production, creating a demand for more workers to make those goods, why on earth would any business hire more people when there is no demand. Wake up!!! Trickle down economics doesn’t, hasn’t and NEVER will work!!!! Our economy is driven by demand for consumer goods. If there is no money to purchase goods then a tax cut for some business owner is not going to pay for them to hire anyone at all! Have YOU ever run a business? I have…many, and I have also hired lots and lots of people over my career. I HAVE built businesses. Have you? I know that if there is no demand for my product I don’t have a business and this is after taking advantage of every tax break my companies could get. Still not hiring wihtout demand. DEMAND, DEMAND, DEMAND!!! Put money into the hands of the people who will actually spend it. Period!

i say give these rich corporations & manufacturing companies their tax breaks. but…… only if they meet a certain criteria like adding jobs to the economy by showing proof how many jobs they have added. republicans give these super-rich companies tax breaks even if they don’t deserve them. i say if your rich & want a large tax break then “earn it”!!!!!

Obama inherited the WORST Economic Crisis Since the GREAT Depression and has been opposed by a Party whose only goal is to make him a one term President no matter what it does to the Country. Incidentally were if it not for the New Deal Programs we would have had a Second Depression. The safety net provided by New Deal policies such Social Security and Unemployment prevented us from having a Great Depression Two.

Republicans talked about they were focused on JOBS Jobs jobs but have done nothing but vote to repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood and try to limit Abortion with NARY a jobs bill in the offering. The last bill the house considered prior to going on a 4 week vacation was a bill to limit abortions in Washington DC.

In the Senate Mitch McConnell finally stopped Filibustering long enough to allow a vote on the Obama Tax Plan Knowing that it was meaningless as all tax bills MUST originate in the
house. It passed and the Republican Plan failed.

Where is Romney’s tax plan ? The tax cuts are explicit but the details of what deductions he would eliminate is not revealed just like Paul Ryan’s. Most of us fear that we will lose the Home Mortgage interest deduction and the deduction for taxes and might now have to pay income tax on our Health Care Benefits.

You wrote a lot of words and they lack any objectivity or high level of thoughtful consideration. What’s the usefulness in comparing the Reagan statistics with Obama’s when the world economic situation between the two is totally different. It’s a ridiculous comparison and lacks the slightest objectivity. If you compared Reagan’s trickle down economics with Clinton’s numbers, Reaganomics looks like a total failure. So what the point of you making ridiculous comparisons? Why would I give any consideration to ridiculous comparisons?
Clinton DID do some things that Obama has done. Clinton top tax bracket was 39% Obama’s looking for the same.
Clinton was the last president before Obama to attempt healthcare reform. Clinton was in favor of investing in R&D, education, and infrastructure as is Obama.
“Obama never ran a lemonade stand” but he’s run the country for 4 years. And Reagan was superior because he ran……..what?
“Have you ever gotten a job from some poor guy?” is such a tired, very old GOP talking point that is uttered by people who no comprehensive understanding of our economy.
I have only been hired by people who have revenues coming in the door from poor and average income people. So my income comes partially from the poor. Let the middle class wither and business owners will never hire. Their warehouses are full of unsold product and they’d be stupid to hire more workers to make MORE product, but that what you say he will do. Business owners aren’t stupid-even they know they won’t hire more workers even if their taxes go down. Obviously you have an incomplete and silly understanding of our consumer economy.

Let me get this straight; Obama is raising taxes on himself for his own personal gain.
Only the retarded would take money from their own pockets, stuff it into the pockets of the rich and allow their wages to dwindle, thinking the rich will reward them sometime before you die (or in heaven I suppose).

This is a lot of nonsense. Romney’s not trying to give himself a tax cut. He doesn’t PAY any taxes!

Yes the very same CEOs who ran the Economy into the Ditch deserve the very large salaries they get .IF we hadn’t pulled their bacon out of the FIRE their Companies would have gone bust
Do you really believe Sheldon ]Addleson is spending MILLIONS to defeat Obama without expecting SOMETHING in return. Perhaps quashing the investigation into his gambling Casino in Macao . He most likely violated the Corrupt Practices Act which forbids US Companies from bribing Foreign Officials . He also wants an American attack on Iran
Incidentally as a Senior citizen who has most of his money in CDs I am infuriated that the Fed intends to keep on screwing us with near zero interest rate for ANOTHER two years. The Fed favors the Stock Market by holding down Interest rates

Are you just stupid or just an ass. How do you think the rich got rich. Buy working dummies like you for a salary that would keep you where they want you to be at. Its fine to acheive your dream. Its ok to be rich the one precent. but the other99 precent are saying pay your fair share of your taxes. If you make 20 million a year pay taxes on the 20 million. n0t 3 because ass if they don,t you do.
