Spitzer Mulls Tax Hike on the Rich

Submitted by Steve K., Nov 21, 2007 13:58

What ever happened to reducing spending like everyone else has to do?

You only have to look to California to see that Spitzer is a fool. A tax is a disincentive. In California the middle class started to leave because of the high cost of living and illegal aliens. Now the report is millionaires are leaving to preserve their capital. How many poor people create jobs? Yet the target of this folly are the very people who create jobs and/or invest their wealth that leads to more job creation. The very people who would benefit from this are the same people looking to demonize the productive not just in New York but across the country. Class warfare may have a short-term political advantage but it is also long-term suicide to the welfare of all working families. Socialism and Marxist dogma NY-style is a failure and a looming disaster to those who are subjected to this losing philosophy.
