Then you should listen to what they're saying:

Here (1:42 into the clip), Charlie Fink, millionaire and former AOL executive states emphatically that corporate executives make hiring decisions based solely on demand for their product with no consideration whatsoever to how much they'll be taxed.

Here are over 200 millionaires, the people you claim to trust.  Listen to them and read what they have to say.

This quote from one of them stands out in direct contrast of conservative politicians' supply-side economic fantasies: "Rich people are not the cause of a robust economy; they're the result of a robust economy."
You know ex, I personally have zero problem with those "millionaires" paying more taxes....I think going back to the 70% days would be outrageous, but Obama and the dems was targeting those at $250,000....and I say that is a massive mistake.  I know too many people who I have spoken with in that category that say without a doubt, at this point in time, raising taxes could be disaterous with their business.....but, in therory, I tend to agree with the republican platform that raising taxes in a down economy is a bad thing....I also believe we need some REAL tax reform....

As far as those 200 plus millionaires, if they are so patriotic, why don't the just send MORE money to the government?  Why do they want to be told to do so?
the quote "Rich people are not the cause of a robust economy; they're the result of a robust economy."...I agree with 100%, but there is no doubt, that Rich people, are very important to creating a robust economy.....they are the ones who invest in new business'....that create new products for people to buy.

They address your talking points on that site.  Interesting how you claim to trust those people but won't ake the time to read and/or listen to what they're saying.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I have read it.

"They have to find $1.5 trillion of extra income to help pay down the debt we have accumulated over the last ten years. This trillion five can come from increased revenues or decreased expenses or some combination of the two. Each of the people standing with me and each of the 200 Patriotic Millionaires we represent believe that *the very first* step that the Congress should make – the *VERY FIRST STEP* they should take towards this goal is to immediately end the Bush tax cuts for incomes over $1 million a year – this would take rates on incomes over 1million to the pre-Bush level of 39.6%."

I am in agreement with....and I would support.............but, as I have said before....they (obama and the dems) still have included those $250,000...and I also, think that cutting or suspending the Corp taxes to zero, and a tarrif of 20% on any American with a business outside the US is the best way to spur economic growth and creating American jobs.

and I still do not trust our gov in spending money it does not have.....THEY created this problem, and it will only be the private sector to save this problem.

Nope; the latest proposal put forth was to raise taxes on those earning over $1 million by 3.5%.

As for taxing corporations, you really have zero understanding of corporate finance, ergo, your overly-simplistic "solutions" are not worthy of consideration.

Stand up Troll.  A vacuum is also something you clean house with....

  Yes, we know that a electric motor on a vacuum cleaner creates a vacuum and therefore sucks dirt into it's BAG.  Also as we know that a vacuum cleaner sucks, we all know that you do too.  :kiss:  :salute:

and again, I really don't care if YOU consider it or not...because YOU have nothing to do with it anyway.

but, it is a somewhat a simplistic "solution" it one that has been discussed at great length by many....and it WOULD have a very, very positive effect on our econmy.....almost instantly.

so you say....and even if you do have SOME expertise, YOU still have as much pull as I do to fix things.

This guy has it right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4yDCUJJm_U&feature=share

  I watch Dylan Ratigan every day, in fact I have him on my Tivo.  He has so many things right for so many years.  Jimmy Williams and Dylan has really shown what is wrong in Washington DC.  It's the money which buys our congress.  We have the best congress money can buy.  :groan:

  You can see it every day, the way the Republicans fight to keep the rich and the corporations from paying taxes.  They're just like dogs, they know who feed them and they will come every time they hear the can opener run or the dog food sack rattles.

  My favorite channel is MSNBC I just wish the sheeple would watch it for a month and see how bad the Republicans are for America.  :salute: :flag:
