This would not be "trickle up"

I doubt there are many posting here who would have money taken from them to give to the "poor."
I wonder how many MTs working today know what it was like in the 70s and 80s when you could literally write your own ticket? It wasn't unusual to get calls trying to hire good MTs away from their employer. It wasn't hard for a good MT to knock down $100,000 annually WITH full benefits, including medical insurance that was paid by the employer for the employee with reasonable cost for family coverage. Downtime, vacation and sick time was paid at your average production rate rather than some $10/hour cr@p. Do you think the mega MTSO companies are any less profitable today than they were then? No, actually they are more profitable. That is usually the case when any business operates on slave labor, the conditions MTs work under now days. The company that I worked for most in those days was Transcriptions Limited. Guess what they became?

so you'd rather have "Trickle-Up poverty"

It's called "trickle down taxes"....all of Obama's plans....sm
in the end, will RAISE the price and cost of all those businesses who offer services and practices to all of US.....his raising THEIR taxes will RAISE what we spend out of our pockets....not to mention every other TAX which may not be INCOME TAX, will skyrocket, under Obama.
Geez....do all your reserach and do the math
Well, we all know the old "trickle-down economics" of the past admnistrations has not worked,
ever more greed, and then the removal of the banking regulations really set up the rest of the debacle. The President is fighting a GOLIATH here when it comes to all the problems he has INHERITED, we should pray for his wisdom, strength, and security, and at least he is acknowledging short-falls and problems, trying to reach out to both parties, and trying to ACCOMPLISH something real and LASTING for this country, all Bush could do was give checques away, which was supposed to be a quick "shot in the arm" the for economy, but he did not open his eyes to see that when middle to low income families are living in debth and cannot pay for anything, that they are going to pay bill and save some of their money, not go out and buy more cars, TVs, other big ticket items, as he thought. Good solid work programs was what put the country back on its feet back during the Great Depression, it is not a "quick" fix, but a lsting one that reaches into multi levels of the ecomony, the worker, small businesses, etc. Lets's PLEASE give the President a chance beyond his first week!
Oh, goody-goody! The "trickle-down theory"
