"You never mention that with the exception of Japan, the US has lower tax rates than any other industrial nation. Americans work longer hours and are more productive than anyone else."
do you think that the lower taxes might have anything to do with American productivity being the highest? Or the willingness of Americans to work longer and harder than anyone else?
Raise my marginal taxes: My willingness to work extra hard will go down...The extra effort just isn't worth it...
But then that is the goal of the left isn't it...
We should all stop trying to overachieve and settle for mediocraty...We should all just be one of the masses and accept that Washington DC is our master.
We should accept a crappy European Economic model and give all power to the Federal Government.
