Republicans are thieves and traitors.

The guy in the black shirt says it how it is

People who are rich lose incentive to work when they feel they have enough money and the costs of more work outweigh the profits of more work. If you increase the taxes, the level of work productivity will just go down. Similarly Charlie probably doesn't know this either, and wants to keep taxes on higher incomes low because of the voting populous in his area. Goes to show that lawyers and people yelling on their high horse and getting 15 mins of fame shouldn't be in charge of the economy.

I would bet that no one in that room knows that the "1%" as the occupiers call them pay over 1/3 of the tax bill every year, yet 50% of working Americans pay nothing. It's very easy for a lower income person like this man is to try and free ride the system by asking the rich to pay more when they all ready pay disproportionally more than the rest of the population. He clearly doesn't have a grasp of how volatile the Elasticity of the Supply of Labor is and what a higher tax rate could do.

Ugh, I've seen so many guys like the yelling guy. They read a couple of books or something and think they're a genius and know how to run things and start bossing everyone around and not letting anyone else speak. I bet no one in that room (Charlie included) has taken more than a couple of economics classes and they're all bantering about the economy like they think they know exactly to do.

In seeing a lot-seems like no one is getting the points to help others ubderstand-and I do think very highly of Congressman Dent. The thing that is a mantra and not proven-the trickle down economy. The problem comes when this is why we keep seeing taxing the rich as bad because we are going after the job makers. The one thing not being considered is GATT and NAFTA. There is no such thing as a trickle down economy because quite a bit went away in the 90's. The bush tax cuts will cost us 3Tdollar

Votes are not counted--election is such a quaint idea.

Dent should have never been re elected.. Jake towne was by far a better choice...

[SUPPLEANDFIRM]

@MagnumSerpentine oh my goodness I hope obama gets reelected.

[MagnumSerpentine]

Another stupid Republican't being nailed to the wall by angery voters. Hey Sir John of Orange... Better get use to massive losses in 2012 elections...
