It's not about fixing the economy. It's about funding programs to help out people that won't/can't help themselves. Which is fine, to a certain extent. But when you're very literally talking about redistributing wealth, that is not ok.

Overtaxing businesses and the wealthy is not going to fix the economy. It's going to force those businesses to find other means to keep their profit margins, which in a lot of industries means outsourcing to other countries. Sounds great for the economy, right?
