Basically what you are doing is bringing money to the government and short term, things will see well. How exactly does raising taxes work long term? And what percentage is OK to take from the "rich"?" On the other hand if cutting taxes is so good for the economy why did it do so bad during George Bush's time in office. He cut taxes several times and it continued to tank. He had a net loss of jobs for his entire 8 years.Also the stock market had very modest change for the 8 years. My 401k has increased about 30% in the last 2 years. It had almost no gain for G.W.B's term.I am by no means an economist I am just calling it like I see it, not how someone else tells me it is.</blockquote>
