Yes.......raising taxes is typically "o.k." for many apparently.

Yeah, for those of us who rely on empirically verifiable facts, and experience.

I gave two specific time periods where overall payroll taxes were higher, and so were job creation numbers.

A budget surplus was associated with the 22M new jobs under Clinton. The budget deficits have thus far been sliced in half under Obamas higher taxes on the top 2%.

Both Dem presidencies' also so higher overall stock valuations and higher corp. profits than under the presidency that came in between.

If higher taxes weren't causative for those results, they at least didn't prevent those results. What is indisputable is that the budgets were/are better off than what came between.

That's a shit-load a 'association'. When does causation kick in, in your opinion?

I see you are a 'the present sucks, but just wait and see just how bad it REALLY going to get?' kind of a guy

And what, a Trump presidency will prevent that or a Hillary win will bring it on?

Which? I'm confused.

Oh, and how are we going to repair the increasingly f*cked up infrastructure, let alone create a world class one, so that our
business can, you know, compete more effectively with countries that spend money on that kind of sh*t?
