Born and raised in Orange County Ca, thank you. Spent my high school years in Corvallis, OR. Then stationed at the Pentagon. Then all but the last 6 years in Fairfax, VA. Not exactly redneck or hillbilly fodder. Anything else to deflect there, genius?
FBI territory isnt it?
How does raising tax rates on future earnings of the wealthy, solve stagnant wages and unlock the vast hoarded wealth to increase aggregate demand. Are you actually making the case that higher taxes makes rich people want to pay their employees more? That the government taking a higher percentage of their income, somehow makes them go out and spend more? That higher capital gains taxes makes the wealthy want to invest more? Not less or the same, but actually more? That MUST be the case you're making since there's no other explanation for your above statement, I'd sure like to hear how you got there.
