Eric Cantor: "We need to encourage those on the top income scale to create more jobs"



Well that's just brilliant, Congressman Cantor. How about you just go do that? Would you PLEASE encourage those on the top of the income scale to create some jobs???

The Bush tax cuts for over 9 years now promised to create jobs. Where are they?

Also, numerous corporations are sitting on enormous profit, paying more to their CEOs than in taxes. Last year, CEO salaries increased by 27 percent while private worker wages increased by only 2 percent.

If there was true equality in America, as corporations make record profits they would share those profits with not only the CEOs and other top execs but at least some of it with line level employees.

I have no problem with people working hard and becoming rich. No problem whatsoever.

But WHY do CEOs get a 27% increase when low level employees ONLY get 2% increase? Couldn't it at least be something like 20% increase to CEOs and 9% increase to workers?

Why do the workers have to work longer and harder hours so that only the very, very top executives get to reap the rewards?
