No more trickling down ... PLEASE!

As I listen (and listen and listen and listen) to the political rhetoric from both sides, there are things that I agree with on both sides and things that I don't. But I realize more and more as I listen to McCain and Palin that they are talking the same old trickle down economics that hasn't worked since forever.

You give a millionaire money and he/she doesn't put it back into circulation ... at least not with their employees. They put it all in THEIR bank account and they and their families go shopping and traveling while laying off employees. Cutting their taxes doesn't encourage entrepeneurship. It doesn't do anything for the middle class. It just makes the rich, richer.

Making the top money makers pay their share of the taxes is distribution of burden and I think it's about time.
