Sorry, but if "speading the wealth" is the best you've got, then you've got nothing.
No it is not. "trickle-down economics" runs on the premise that when rich people pay less taxes then they in turn invest the gains into other businesses or companies who thus hire people to work and giving many jobs and you products to buy. The wealth of the rich guy was invested and subsequently paid to a guy who put in a days work he took the money home to feed his family. Redistributing wealth? Yeah, but honorably and in everyone favor. That is my scenerio.
Obama's redistribution of wealth plan is that the rich guy has his money taken forcefully by taxes and then given to God knows who. Most likely someone who shirks work and feigns earning anything.
Your theory is bullshit. Bush proved the trickle down theory doesn't work. When was the last time you saw the wealthy just giving away money because they had low taxes. They want more for them and less for you, they want to make you work for as little as possible. You poeple make corporation sound like charities just dying to make jobs and give away money!
you over-exaggerated ferris209's answer. He never mentioned anyone "just giving away money because they had low taxes".
