More corp money, keep a bit more of what you get now, that would be nice.... or having 200 million Americans with the buying power back.


I can't remember where I read this, but it was explain in economic scale or ladders maybe. Been awhile. Simply put, all wealth is created by climbing the ladder, if you have no ladder to climb, it's almost impossible to get out of the pit. It takes the backs of other men to create that ladder, stacking one on top of another, so the one man can climb out... it would be rather douche if he didn't reach down and extend his arm and pull, everyone out, because without him, only one other person can get out then the ladder is too far from the top.

Perspective.... would you be pissed if someone left you in the pit, after you just pushed them out?
In general, I don't really think that people really think like that... in reality, people want services but don't want the government to tax anyone to pay for them.
