Rich person Garrett Gruener -- inventor of Ask.com -- says that taxing rich people is good, and not taxing them is bad. Why would he say this? I'm a venture capitalist and an entrepreneur. Over the past three decades, I've made both good and bad investments. I've created successful companies and ones that didn't do so well. Overall, I'm proud that my investments have created jobs and led to some interesting innovations. And I've done well financially; I'm one of the fortunate few who are in the top echelon of American earners.
When Bush's tax cut was passed, I laughed about the extra $3/week I'd be taking home; about how someday I'd go out to McDonalds. If the rate goes back up for me, I'll pay the $3 -- so the troops can have Happy MREs again.
