Not really.
But from my FB:
[ALSO THANX Rob for Obama Reformation.]
I recently heard, that the top 1%(or 2) account for the same as the bottom 50% in income and 90% in wealth held.[***] Just thought I would throw that in without too much other comment, it was very interesting to read the exchange, thumbs up, to... all.
But Yes, the point about investment and trickle down, the argument that(BTW, it is not raising taxes, it is an end to a tax cut, which the Republicans passed, which might sound the same, but is not, neither economically or politically) an end to the tax breaks will mean they will not be able to hire, is contrary to standard business and tax practices regarding what is deductible. It seems to me that it shows that there are a lot of people in business that are lucky to be there given their understanding of things, or it really doesn't matter how well one understands things to work, and probably a bit of each of these. But the Laffer curve is the biggest joke, not to mention the bell curve in general, but actually the joke is not in the curves but in the way people use them. OK, I did have more than I intended to comment*, but I must not forget my "nose under the camel's tent"(metaphor),[**] which represents the fear that change will be continued. 'nough said? (see the BTW)
OOPS!
I left an asterisk hanging: it regarded my metaphor...of knows or # of stakes OK, I just caught myself. . I am chuckling so hard, I better ponder before deleting or refudiating.
Ah, there's the rib!
[Speaking of Anachronism and Comprehensieveshun... I only now finished reading the NYT top link.]
[**] Not to coin a Palin, my original intent was the "camel's nose" but who knows? Only the Shadow.
[***] Thanks to Thom Hartmann...if we(I) have the numbers right. Meanwhile, I cannot believe there is not a reasonableness(constitutional pun) retort to this. i.e. I look forward to more context and links.

Rather than further searches, googles or complexifying, I will simply give the irony of original intenders with recreational verbage. (Darn...Urban Dictionary has that one but I think it works differently.)
