Class Payoff Doesn't Create Jobs, Either

I read with interest the statement from Joe DeSantis, communications director for Newt Gingrich, that "class warfare does not create jobs." I know what he means. Any suggestion that the wealthiest Americans should contribute the highest revenue to maintain our nation is "warfare" against America's nobility.

Well, how has coddling the rich paid off?

It doesn't, it hasn't, and it won't. Indulging the upper class with subsidies and tax breaks and exclusions and deductions has gotten us nothing, zippo, nada. How many jobs does an account with Tiffany's create?

You seriously want to end the deficit? Pay up, you cheap *********.
