Why do liberals favor trickle up poverty?
Can we have a argument without haveing to go the low road, and have to smear words, such as trickle up poverty.?

When the middle class has more money to spend, the economy does better. More money trickles up, and the upper class end up still benefiting while paying higher taxes.

Nice copout. You asked for answers. I gave you mine. You attacked me without even addressing one thing I said.

Why is that smear? It's the TRUTH. That is what we will have with Obama. You didn't even address what I said in my post. I will be paying higher taxes and my clients will be paying higher taxes. I will shut down my business. That is really going to help America when I and other business owners have to lay off people and close their doors, isn't it?

Yes let's make our political decisions based on the opinion of someone who is known for their a$$ crack hanging out .

Regardless of who it is....CEO, Senator, McDonald's employee etc...make your own decision and come to your own conclusions. Using other's opinions as your own argument is weak.

The fact that you're not in his position doesn't mean he's wrong. It also doesn't give you the right to determine whether or not he's "that bad off"

Last time I checked, he was doing what Americans were always encouraged to do. He's working his way up in the world. If he can buy the business he can hire people. Then they can get a paycheck instead of a handout.

I'd rather Obama give my taxes to families in need, and not McCain who is going to keep lavishing it on his Wall Street Buddies.

You know what, there are plenty of charities that we support, so I would like to have the opportunity to give money to those who will do the most good, with a lower administration costs.
In case you haven't noticed, the welfare system doesn't work...but that could be another long, long discussion.
