Rich Americans Aren't the Real Job Creators
- rm999 14y ago> Given this, it is counter-productive to build a tax system that asymmetrically benefits the people at the very top I don't think anyone really argues for this, even the most conservative tax plans I hear about are flat. I think he may be thinking how capital gains are taxed at a much lower than income. But this isn't a tax break for the wealthy per se, and it's not in place to create more jobs.
