The Daily Kos: A Voice From The 1% »

This is a great article written by a member of the 1%.

This isn’t the best part of the article, but it’s a point I’m really happy to see someone make:

I was not amazed but disgusted when John Boehner and his crew tried to justify the extremity of their position by rebranding the wealthy as “job creators.”  While true in a very basic sense, it obscures the fact that jobs are a cost that is voluntarily incurred only as a result of demand.  Hiring has no correlation at all to profits or to income - none.  Let me keep more of my money without increasing customer demand and I will do just that - keep it.

Amen.  The notion that if you cut someone’s taxes they will hire more people is so dumb! You hire more people when demand for your good or service increases.

Read the whole thing.
