Ok, let me get this straight, we are going to tax the rich (who invest) more, and then raise minimum wages (reducing return on investment). Sounds like a lock solid job destroying plan to me. Its also a good way to chase capital out of the country. An individual that I won't name is actively opening a corporation in a foreign country as we speak so he has somewhere to move his capital in december of '09 (right before the bush tax cuts expire). Should be good though, cuz he is evil and rich and we want him out of this country anyway...he is an exploiter who provides (low paying) jobs.

PS...yes national health care, I almost forgot. Lets add a huge social program to a country that is 9.6 Trillion in debt with a 460 billion dollar annual deficit and 59 Trillion in future unfunded Liabilities. Good plan, just in case we were going to grow out of this while spending more responsibly this will definately drive the final nail in the coffin.
