Probably the majority of Americans don't work for the "rich". They work
for small businesses. The people who run those aren't rich enough for a
"pitchfork". No biting of hand that feeds in this case. And in a
networked world you don't need big businesses anymore. We're basically
living in a science fiction world but there are some laggers who haven't
caught up because they thing the game is accumulating lots of money and
being a "king." So out of fashion.

Nothing but a bloody pitchfork.

I guess you just like to live in a world where you bow down to the
"landed gentry". That's where we're headed now. I'd rather stick a
pitchfork in them.

And when you tax TF out of businesses and or the rich, they have
less money to expand or modernize businesses( remember the steel
industry back in the 70'S) or to give raises to their employees. You
end up with fewer jobs and smaller tax base, less revenue and so the
government barrows more money to meet it's needs, which turns out to
be unemployment benefits, welfare and food stamps etc. for those that
can't find jobs because there aren't any, because the government is
taking the profits from the businesses! Unions don't help either
because they've become so greedy that they drive their members jobs
over seas (Textiles). When was the last time you bought an article of
clothing made in the USA? If you did, a shirt would probably cost you
nearly sixty dollars! Just came back from shopping and that's what I
found.

When the working class have less money to spend the economy goes into
the dumps. That's why Mike's solution won't work. A lot of US
businesses are having problems like McDonalds, Coke and even
Starbucks keeps trying to get it's customers to come spend more.
It's easy to see these signs of desperation in a crashing economy.

With "trickle down" all you get is the rich peeing on the poor.

The title of the article was quite inflammatory, as usual, being
HuffPo and all. It used the fact that many Americans don't
understand Marginal Tax Rates to create hysterical click bait.
Later in the article they fessed up.
