[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Well I keep hearing how the rich create jobs and we've gotta be really nice to them so they'll create jobs. Now with unemployment over 9%, the rich aren't keeping their end of the bargain, now are they?[/quote]

Hilarious.  You heard President Obama say that right before he raised taxes on "the rich."  You're going to blame the typical DC lawyer/accountant (aka Obama rich) for the country's unemployment?  I'd laugh more but I'm 4 hours into my billable day and have 8 hours left to go.  [/quote]
He didn't raise taxes on the rich.  He's talked about it, but it hasn't happened yet.  The highest earners are currently paying the lowest income tax rate in decades, and have been since the early 00s.  I'd say they've been shirking their job-making duty.[/quote]

Right, and do you know when the nation's unemployment was the lowest?   You really need to get your "facts" from more than one op ed you read.  [/quote]
Lowest recent unemployment rate was 3.8% in April 2000, before the Bush tax cuts (39.6 vs. 35) and even before Bush's election.  Going back further, we get 3.4% in 1969, when the top marginal rate was [b]75.25%[/b].  [/quote]
