What a truly novel idea. When you come up with a solution that does not involve giving police additional power to neglect basic property and privacy rights, then by all means do go on. This same stance was used by far right extremists during the industrial revolution; "the stinkin irishman is taking all the good jobs (low pay, long hours, shitty working conditions)".

We need tax breaks for people who produce goods and services.
Will tax breaks result in people purchasing more goods and services (necessary to reduce unemployment in the short run) or will the be saved/used to pay down debt? The devil, of course, is in the details.

Not tax credits for people who bitch and moan because someone else has more than they do. How in the hell have we come to a place where the people who want to keep the money they earned are called greedy, by people who did not earn it, yet feel entitled to it anyways?
It has nothing to do with class warfare rhetoric. High income/high wealth households are simply not spending it. Not that i believe higher taxes during this stage of the recovery is necessary, yet fiscal consolidation will require those who profit the most to pay for a "most stable" system.
