I myself am Republican, Not because I was raised to be so, but because I chose to educate myself on how I think the economy works. For all you non republicans, why do you believe that the democratic way is best suited for this country? I know that there are different views on what actually is a democrat, but tell me specifics in why? Here is what I can understand...to me, this seems like common sense......
Most people(non republicans) believe that the wealthy SHOULD pay more in taxes....(because they have more, they should pay more) Well, lets look at it like this. You make $40,000.00 a year and you pay 20% in taxes....thats $8000.00. You make $100,000.00 a year and pay 20% in taxes...thats $20,000.00. Now I know that Obama thinks that 250k should be the cutoff and afte that, you are targeted as "rich", but this is to make the math a little easier. You think that the person making 100k a year should pay 30% or 40% in taxes? Why should that person be punished for success? especially if that person owns a business and provides jobs to oridnary/everyday people. Because if you tax the wealthy, they spend less. they spend less, we lose jobs.
Anytime anyone asks me why I vote republican, I ask them one question. "when is the last time that you worked for a poor person?"
The wealthy are the ones that buy ferrari's, lambos, have huge houses built, buy boats, spend lots on dinners and partys, which all comes back to the middle class. who invests billions in the stock market? The wealthy.
I know that redistribution of wealth is more of a socialistic view (I guess) but I think it is so worthless that people actually believe that the wealthy should be taxed more hoping that is some way, that money will get to them....for what? what did you do? work your @$$ off for little or nothing? what about people who go to school for 10 years and become a doctor and make millions and work 7 days a week saving peoples lives, should you get a piece of their pie?
I understand that there are people who need help and some have no other options when it comes to providing for their families or just for themselves...but trying to blame rich people for your problems and that somehow you deserve what they have is obsurd.
For all you that are democrats, explain to me your side of the story....
