Taxes again.




First see my post "You are so uncaring." about the subsidies and corporate welfare.


Ok the answer to that is simple.   All taxes hurt everyone.  The worst thing you can do to a rich person is raise taxes on the poor so they can't afford to buy products rich people produce.


But why cut taxes on the rich?  Well what do you think rich people do with money?   Only morons think rich people hide $100 dollar bills under their pillow at night.   No, rich people invest, spend or bank it.


When a rich person builds a huge house, buys 20 expensive cars, or purchases a private jet... do you not realize the dozens on dozens of people who have jobs because of this?


When you see these young upstart companies... where do you think the money comes from to fund it?   I worked for a small company in Ohio that repaired Cell Phones.   The only reason it existed and employed 100 people was because of rich people who invested in it's startup.


But I hear you saying, yeah but some rich people just horde it in their bank.  Ok yes some do, but what does a bank do with the money?  Ever heard of a small business loan?  How about the mortgage on your home?  Where do you think the bank gets that money from?  Rich people who have money in the bank.   If the bank declines your loan, sometimes it is because they can't afford it.


So again... all taxes hurt the poor.  All do.   You want to shoot yourself in the foot?  Raise taxes on someone, or anyone.   Want to help things?  Cut taxes, on anyone and everyone.
