Whereas most people pay 22+% taxes - the lower incomes pay a higher percentage. According to Sen Alan Simpson (the retired Wyoming Republican who is blunt angry about this grid lock), the upper 1% are paying only 16%.
Meanwhile, jobs are not created by that upper 1%. They are only protecting their wealth and incomes; create no new jobs; take no risks; create no innovations. The job creators are lower income people who strive to become that 1%.
Republicans want to protect tax cuts that only enriched the richest 1%. People who are living freely off the fat of the land and past accomplishments. Tax cuts for those who strive to become rich, basically, never existed.
Republicans stated they want to harm America - so that Obama will not be relected. Sen Mike McConnell basically said that. Screw what America needs. Enrich only those who contribute mostly to the Republican party.
Limbaugh says it is good. Therefore we should all believe it.
