Quote:This is where the left and the right have different ideas about taxes.  The left wants to increase tax, especially on the wealthy.  That tends to be bad for business, results in fewer jobs and results in fewer people actually paying taxes.

 

The right wants lower taxes for everybody which creates jobs.  More jobs = more people working = more people paying tax.

 

The end result is usually the same, but which method is better?

 

Call me crazy, but I like the scenario where more people are actually working. Being unemployed while the rich pay more taxes doesn't exactly expand ones spending power.

 

Your post brings another question into play. Do the majority of Americans have the skills or training necessary to occupy this swarm of jobs that are coming our way?
