Politicians understand very well that if you keep the people broke, you have control over them. That’s the main reason for wanting to raise taxes. Take the peoples money, and they can’t afford to fight them.

"Raising taxes is an incentive for the rich to work harder."

Only a kook like that hairball in the video could believe something like that.

If Raising taxes is an incentive for the rich to work harder, wouldn’t it stand to reason that across the board tax increases would be an incentive for the poor to work harder as well?

They make no sense at all.

Raising taxes on business is just a cost of doing business passed on to the consumers of both parties..

No business pays any taxes.. ever..
Taxing the rich is the same.. only the stupid rich are taxed..
The smart ones stay sheltered from any taxes..

As the States(all States) are finding out currently..
Even the idiots in New York City..

Wow. I know what she’s gettin’ at. Loud and clear. Them being “American’s” don’t mean they can VOTE in our elections, nor draw our government checks, nor attend our public schools, nor creep across our borders illegally, nor work jobs that are meant to be held by CITIZENS. But you just keep on trying, dear lady.
