      ACK! Sava and I cross-posted.

      Libertarianism is an excuse to make greed morally acceptable. To the Libertarians anything that is fair is theft, an excuse for greed.

        or instead of giving handouts to rich people, hoping they'll provide jobs, how about the government invests in infrastructure and public works projects... creating jobs

        "Economic expansion" = top 0.3% get richer
        To us, it is the BEAST.

          Generally Sava, The rich are some of the most philanthropic people around. It sure would be a pity to lose that to the tax system.

              Who do you think invests the most in infrastructure? It is private industry, not government.

                      These exemtions are just one more example of the left wanting to penalize sucess!
                      No, I pulled it out of my navel. I just was thinking of betwen $10,000 and $1,000,000 and $200,000 semmed like a nice comprmise. That is also what my family views as the border between middle and upper classes.

                          Yeah how many jobs did the 2001 tax cut create? or the Reagan cuts? oh yeah... those economic policies didn't create any jobs... in fact, the economy lost jobs...

                          How many jobs did the 1993 Clinton budget create? What did Clinton's economic policy do?

                          · Lower Deficits Mean Lower Interest and Mortgage Rates -- Saving Families Thousands. The government's share of total borrowing in U.S. credit markets has been eliminated from nearly 60 percent just six years ago -- which, according to the Wall Street Journal (5/7), has played a "major role" in keeping down interest rates. Since 1993, about 18 million families have refinanced their homes -- and according to the New York Times and Money magazine, these families have saved an average of $1,000-$2,000 per year in lower mortgage payments.

                          · Lower Mortgage Rates Mean Higher Homeownership. Lower mortgage rates -- along with higher family incomes, faster job growth, and the President's National Homeownership Strategy -- have helped raise the national homeownership rate to its highest level in American history.

                          · Lower Interest Rates Mean Faster Business Investment Growth. Under President Clinton, real business investment growth has averaged 12.5 percent -- the fastest since John Kennedy was President.
                          Faster Business Investment Growth Means Faster Economic Growth and More Jobs. Faster business investment growth helps expand capacity and has led to faster economic growth and more jobs under President Clinton. Since President Clinton took office, the private sector of the economy has grown 4.0 percent per year, the economy has added 17.7 million new jobs, and unemployment has fallen to 4.3 percent -- the peacetime lowest in 41 years. America has the longest peacetime economic expansion in history.
                          Alan Greenspan, Federal Reserve Chairman, 2/20/96: The deficit reduction in the President's 1993 Economic Plan was "an unquestioned factor in contributing to the improvement in economic activity that occurred thereafter."
                          Giving rich people money DOES NOT CREATE JOBS.... it DOES NOT EXPAND THE ECONOMY...

                            Unfortunately the economy is running at about 75% capacity so building new factories and such is out. They may invest in business equipment, but that will probably result in less jobs as they make productivity improvements. The truth is there is little demand for an increase in supply to do much good.

                            • Sava, I don't know where your sources come from but I can tell you for sure that the borrowing of the federal government is not what has driven interest rates so low. The massive amount of money moving from the stock market into the bond market has done that. Of course, we don't want the rich people to have money for the bond market so then we should have 15% interest rates. This would certainly help the poor afford housing wouldn't it?

                              Actually, the Reagan tax cuts created a huge number of jobs. They just didn't appear overnight.

                              Giving rich people money DOES NOT CREATE JOBS.... it DOES NOT EXPAND THE ECONOMY...
                              Bullcrap. The money goes one of two places. It is eithier spent creating immediate economic benefit or it is investedand therefore lowering the cost of things like production to interest rates.
