It All Depends On What You Sign.

There's a guy who wrote an editorial that got published in the N.Y. Times. He claims that the wealthy ( job creators) should be taxed at higher rate. He says that billionaires are taxed at a lower rate then the middle class. Well, he obviously doesn't understand that the rich, excuse me, the job creators don't like to be taxed as high as the middle class and that if they were, they'd stop creating jobs. Well, he says that these job creators (rich) wouldn't mind paying more taxes because they love America and think the middle class and the poor have been suffering while they haven't. He doesn't understand that job creators (rich) may love America, but they don't have to create jobs just because they do. They'd rather get even. He claims that job creators (rich) would never pass up an opportunity to make a profit, even if the tax would be high. This guy is dreaming, he's in la la land. Job creators (rich) always need tax breaks before they would consider creating any jobs. And anyway, they pay a lot of money in taxes. He says that while job creators (rich) may pay a lot of money, that the percentages are much lower. But he doesn't understand. They pay millions in taxes. But while the middle class pays at a rate of between 33% and 41%,  the job creators (rich) pay between 15% and 25%. Just who is this moron that thinks job creators (rich) are willing to create jobs without special tax relief? Why should they do that? Because they love America? Give me a break. Who is this nut? His name is Warren Buffet, one of the wealthiest (job creator) men in the country. He claims that he's spoken with many of his  mega-rich (job creator) friends and they all agree. No matter, we've signed a pledge with Grover Norquist not to raise taxes on job creators (rich) and by golly we're sticking to our guns. Who the hell is Grover Norquist that he should be getting Congressmen and Senators and Governors to sign a document taking away their responsibility to make decisions that may be in the best interest of America. And didn't they swear an oath or something when they were elected to office that said they would always act in the best interests of America? Can you tie your hands behind your back and still perform your job?
