Clearly you missed the point. The problem will not be fixed by
changing the tax rate, up or down.

You're sarcastic "bye bye" has significant consequences. They go, the
jobs go. Who do you think is going to do the employing AND who do you
think will pay the taxes you so desperately want to rely on?

No where did I say lower taxes. You need to stop being so fixated on
the raise/lower taxes argument. That IS NOT the problem. Trading
inequities and moving jobs overseas can not be fixed by increasing the
marginal tax rate for those making more than xx dollars.

Absolutely right! Likewise, a tax rate of 90% wouldn't help us
compete, but compete we must. This is why taxes is not the answer.
More US friendly trade agreements (monetary policies, opening markets
to US goods, etc.) could help us compete, however. And if we're
competitive we create more jobs, and if we create more jobs we'll have
fewer people dependent on government and higher income from taxes.

Fat cat corporate executives, corrupt 'good ole boy' corporate boards,
etc., are all problematic. But you can't fix that problem with
increased marginal tax rates.

No disrespect, but your an idiot. You find one post of mine that
supports such an asinine assertion and I'll apologize and buy you a
beer. Till then, try thinking in something other than two dimensional
terms. Your answer to everything is more taxes on the wealthy, and
when someone doesn't agree with you, you automatically assume and
label.
