The real question is: how does not raising taxes for the very wealthy ($250K +/year) help a strapped nation whose poor/working classes can no longer support it?


Where's the revenue going to come from if not the extravagant profits of the very wealthy? 


Although, the incentive argument does hold water.  I say that luxury taxes are more appropriate.  Tap the trust-fund babies who aren't carrying their weight.  I think work should be rewarded as incentive for busniesses to stay.  I think the very wealthy should have prove actual earning of their income.  Those who are very wealthy from family trust funds and dividends without lifting a finger should pay the highest taxes of all.  Wealth with proven sweat behind it should not be penalized.
