Little boy,
I'll tell you what's going to happen. The rich will try their best to find the tax loophole. Other than that, the behavior of rich will not change. They will do their best to increase their wealth. On the other hand, our public programs will be better funded. Roads will be better repaired. Teachers will not get laid off. The college tuition will be cheaper. Social security program will be better funded. When you retire, you?ll get probably get about $300/month with the current level of Social Security funding. Does that make you feel secure?
Just wait till you finish your college and get your first job at some corporation. First time they announce their layoff plan, you?ll be wetting your pants and wish you had voted for Kerry. It is sickening how Republicans constantly tried to favor corporations, their executives, and filthy riches.
Let me tell you a story how things work in real life. At the end of last year, my company?s high-ups gave themselves big Christmas bonuses. Executive level got half a millions each. Managerial position got 100 thousands. When all the workers came back from Christmas vacation, the managers announced the layoffs of two workers who made $75,000 and $60,000 each. They were good workers. If the layoffs were absolutely necessary, high-ups could have easily saved a tiny fraction of their big bonuses and use it to pay for 2 unfortunate guys. But hell, no. They were given $5000 severance pay and let go. The rich does not share their wealth with the poor. This is a good example of how Republican concept of trickle down economy fails.
According to your claim about economy, those two laid off guys would?ve been kept if Bush gave bigger tax cuts to the corporations and its executives. You are so gullible.
Enjoy your good comfy life in school while you can.
