job creation
the assertion is that rich people create jobs. okay maybe. the further assumption is that they'll create more jobs if we cut their taxes. hrm. i call. i explain. let's say i raise your taxes. or equivalently, i cut your wages. what do you do? either you tighten your belt. or you work more. if i cut your wages, you put in more hours to make up the difference. why would things be reversed for rich people? their "job" is to create jobs for others. so if i cut the rich person's wages, he'll have to put in more hours creating more jobs to make up the difference. same as you would. right? so it seems pretty clear that if you want more jobs, and believe that rich people create jobs, you want rich people to work harder for the same pay. ie you want to cut their wages. by /increasing/ their taxes. decreasing them (again) is stupid.
