Myth of all myths
So, before we charge ahead with repealing the tax cuts "for the rich", let's take a moment and consider how their reduced ability to live the good life will have a very real effect on the rest of us.--bird
Therein lies the myth of all myths, if the rich aren't preened and primed with low taxes they'll stop investing and the economy collapses. This is foolish.
It is business opportunities that drive investment, not having extra tax money lying around.
An aircraft plant will always find investors if it can demonstrate it is a good investment, period. Bill Gates is not going to shutdown Microsoft if a few billion is cut off of his net worth due to taxes.
The rich do not get richer sitting on their money.
