doing anything but allowing the wealthy to live more extravagantly...
But that is the definition of the trickle down. If someone buys a nice sports car, the people who's jobs it are to build that car benefit. If they build big houses then it is the carpenters and electricians that benefit.
Morally you have to ask yourself if you or anyone else (the government) has a RIGHT to take more money from rich people simply because they have it. If you say yes, then that is part of your morals and character and beliefs.
If you say no... Then this whole conversation is pointless.
We are 16 trillion dollars in debt because the government has overspent not because they didnt collect enough. And the issue is that the government and politicians create class warfare to distract you from the fact that they have no fiscal responsibility. And this is both sides, Dems and Repubs. Which is part of the reason I changed my affiliation to independent and consider myself more of a libertarian than republican. That plus the stance on drugs of the Republican party, etc.
