Especially when under existing laws people & corporations can move money offshore or farm out jobs with low wages. I guess you'd have to ask each person individually, for a better understanding of where they're coming from.
I'm not anti-rich. I think they should pay their fair share and that in terms of general revenue and supporting the economy they aren't being asked to do enough. I think some of this thread are agreeing. I also feel there should be maximum wealth but we have a long way to go before we get most accepting that idea.
I know a liberal rich person who often tells me 'I don't need more tax cuts. I need a stronger economy to keep my business going.' Even Henry Ford understood that for his company to be successful his workers had to be able to afford to buy its cars.
I don't consider anyone who opposes raising the capital gains tax to be a liberal or really even a democrat. If anyone can say they are I'd love to hear from them as to why.
Holy crap I'm kind of going off on a tangent now, lol, so I'll just say hi!
