    What the rich forget is that when the middle class does well everyone benefits.

    it all comes down to the influence of $$$ in Congress and the need for $$$ to mount a viable campaign.  there are ways to eliminate or at least marginalize these cancers; the huge irony is where that change needs to be affected is the most blighted and corrupt.  there are far too few stand-up patriots and ethical members of Congress.

    Why is that only rich business people are bad? What about those in the entertainment industry?

    All that I saw on this film clip was, raise the Taxes of the rich.  I never received a job from a poor person except when I was 9 to 12 and mod lawns to make some spending money; that is how I bought my first Bicycle.  I did not see anything about our Government stop spending on pet programs that will get them votes from people that do not pay Taxes.or stop giving money to those that are to damn lazy to work an honest day for an honest  paycheck.  And I did not see anything about the money we give to supporting other Nations in witch the corrupt Government or high officials split most of the money we give them.

    Oh, I forgot to answer Kalel’s question.

     Why only rich business people…what about the entertainment industry.

    The video includes them – the top 5%. and why rich business people? -Because that’s were all the money has been sucked up to. Perhaps you made an 300% increase in your salary and investments over the last 25 years..

    The rest of working America made 0 to 3.2 % increase in their salaries with no decrease in taxes.

     That’s why.

    I always feel pity for Americans.  You pay similar taxes to European countries, yet all you have to show for it is a big army.  We get loads in return for our taxes, no wonder you are all angry…
