Please don't put words in my mouth. I never said any such thing. Accusing me of wanting to confiscte wealth is not a substitute for supporting facts. I've just been trying to show that income has declined for many Americans, which calls into question of the wealth generating power of trickle down for the bottom half of society.
Some taxation is necessary. Should we abolish all business taxes and regulations in exchange for jobs? Businesses are part of this society and should contribute to it. Many fortune 500 companies pay no taxes at all but enjoy the benefits of operating in this country. Is that right or reasonable?
And after all of our pandering to business (tax abatements, etc) to keep them here, they still leave.
I'm still waiting on evidence that income has risen for the bottom segment of society.
