So in the example I gave, where the increased tax burden = 1.6% of income, is that really what will sway your ability to hire someone? Let's be real here, nothing that is being proposed will fundamentally alter anyone's behavior or consumption patterns EXCEPT maybe the poor and lower-middle class, which is the point. The marginal impact for people like you and me (assuming you truly make 6-figures) is puny. So cut the bluster already.
Our economy was in far better shape in the mid to late 90s before the Bush tax cuts. And those tax cuts plus the Iraq war are a HUGE reason the dollar is totally fucked and will be for years now.
The fiscal policies you are supporting are what put our economy in this hole in the first place.
And let's see some non-partisan links about Obama's TERRIBLE COMMIE COMING TO GET YOU policies. Where are they? Oh that's right, you don't have any.
If you paid attention in history class, you would remember that it is actually the Dems who saved you from the Commies when they were truly an internal threat - i.e. FDR, Eugene Debs, when the Communist Party USA and Social Party were powerful movements here.
The Cold War commies only threatened mutually assured destruction, not the overthrow of the U.S. government and economy.
