Never really addressed this, did you? I wonder why?

That is pure an utter BS. Clinton raised taxes on the rich, and we had
the best administration, in regards to job creation, in many years.
Bush2 cut taxes, mainly on the rich, but also on the middle class. The
result? Even during the expansion, hardly any jobs were created, while
the Bush recession wiped out all the jobs created during the Bush
administration, and then some. That seems to refute your idiocy above.

One of the main ways they do that is to get most of their income as
capital gains. The solution? Tax capital gains as real income, which it
is. This income should also be taxed for Medicare and Social Security.
Then, there would be no possibility of either going bankrupt.
See how simple this is, when you don't listen to idiots?

If they invested their money, they lost money when the ventures went
bankrupt. Besides, the above is just another example of you trying to
change the subject.
