Increase taxes on the wealthiest and put more money in the hands of the people who spend.  Basic economics.

Basic socialism I think you meant.  How is increasing taxes going to create more jobs exactly?

Do you really think I meant socialism?  Probably not....more likely you're trying to use humor to cover your lack of knowledge.

Answer the question Mr. Knowledge - how is increasing taxes going to create more jobs?

Funniest entry in quite a while.

If you think so.  But that likely means that you don't really understand economics.

You keep misspelling socialism.  Please don't forget about the part demonstrating how raising taxes creates more jobs somehow.

Ok, I'll try to keep this simple for you because it's really pretty complicated for someone that doesn't understand economics:

Take $1,000,000.00 from the wealthy.  Give it to the Upper Lower Class and Lower Middle class, who spend just about 100% of everything they get.  Now, do this on a larger scale and you have some pretty good economic activity and job creation, because small businesses create jobs when people buy their ****.....not when they get a tax break.

Socialism.

D - E- M - O - C - R - A - T

Socialism.

Isn't that what Bush did with the first stimulus is give the money to the people? What a socialist. Glad he is gone.

Yes. That's what Bush did along with the urging of OBAMA and the Democrats and the too big to fail crowd.

Obama. What a socialist. Can't wait till he's gone.

Thank you for laying this out for us - revealing.  So how much is going to be taken from the "wealthy" when this is done on a "larger scale" - and then how many in the  "upper lower class" and "lower middle class" are going to get the goodie bags?  Also, how many of the "middle middle class" are anticipated to decrease their income to make sure they qualify?

Who said it has to be in the form of goodie bags?  It can simply be tax cuts.  Do you know anyone that says "My tax bracket is too high, I need to find a lower paying job"?  

Come on, this is basic economics.

Based on what opie says, I was an idiot.  I should have quit my job to get my income below 150K so I could get a $600 check.

Vote for Obama and you'll get there.

About half of America doesn't pay any income taxes today, so you can't offer those folks more tax cuts.  

But answer the question - how much is going to be taken from the "wealthy" when this is done on a "larger scale"?  And how many people are going to get the goodies?

Incentives matter - if people are incentivized to work less in order to receive a government benefit, you better bet they will do so.  That's basic economics.

Prove to me that cutting taxes creates jobs...I will show you more examples of tax cuts being ineffectual than you will of tax cuts creating jobs.  Care to wager a 100 dollar gift card on it?

Businesses want to expand as long as they can afford to do so - but let's finish hearing about Obama's redistribution of wealth prosperity plan first.

Take the bet or shut the **** up.

Don't be impatient - we are almost done.
