FOOL ME ONCE ON TRICKLE-DOWN …

Soooo, low taxes for the wealthy on their capital gains, estate inheritance, and all that carried interest falderal, are supposed to be GOOD for our economy. Good, the already-wealthy tell us, because rich folks will INVEST all that money (that they save by not having to pay equivalent taxes as the rest of us) in the economy. And the result of this investment will be a boon for everyone because it will create JOBS!

You see, by cutting the already-wealthy a nice tax break they will invest that money in the country and the benefits will TRICKLE-DOWN to all of us.

THE DEAL: We Give The Rich Tax Breaks; They Will Create Jobs.

Again, soooo ~ How (explain this to me slowwwwly) did Mitt Romney’s money in Swiss bank accounts and in the Cayman Islands create jobs HERE?

GOSH, I’m so confused! Do the benefits to the country trickle out of Switzerland and the Cayman Islands? How does that work?

Did the 1% actually take their tax cut money OUT OF THE COUNTRY? Was that the bargain they struck with the rest of us?

DON’T GET FOOLED AGAIN!
