Why are Liberals so against tax breaks for corporate jet owners/big oil/thoroughbred race horse owners?

They create jobs and pay lots of tax. Love, Patches GOP 2012

1. They "pay lots of tax"??? Do you not understand what a tax BREAK is???
2. they have had these tax breaks for years...WHERE ARE THE JOBS THEY CREATE?...try reading that again and again until it sinks in
3. Jealousy, they dont think it fair that someone has that much more than them.
4. Big Oil seems to be doing quite well and doesn't need any assistance from the federal government. Curious how Republicans are all for smaller government unless it eliminates subsidies for Big Oil, Corporate Jet Owners, or Race horse owners.
5. Pity people don't usually get humor over the internet. Patches, you made me laugh
6. The tax break for private jets was passed as a part of the "stimulus" and signed by Obama. I guess it was another thing that you had to pass to find out what was in it. Liberals LOVE to practice class warfare.
7. US corporate tax rate is 35% highest in the world. "loopholes" are tax deductions that all of us get they get bigger one because THEY PAY MORE TAXES because THEY MAKE MORE MONEY! unless you are golfing buddies with barack: little jeffy immelt.
8. because they don't vote in the same numbers the poor and middle class do, so if you want to keep getting elected demagogue the rich even if it all IS a lie!
9. You don't love me patchy. Why can't they take a commerical flight like anyone else and write that expense off their taxes. You may want to help them pay for their jet in hopes they might let you look at it one day but that is you. If you want to pay for it go ahead but leave me out of it friendo.
10. They are the people who caused the recession. They are profiting right now as we speak. The top 5% controls 82% of the wealth in this country. The poor are getting poorer, the rich are getting richer. Have you ever taken a single history class in your life? Plus they have plenty of money, they can pay a little, they would still be rich. Ignorant conservatives are slaves to the rich.
11. Actual facts and evidence prove that you are wrong. If these tax breaks had worked for the last 10 years, our economy would be in good shape now. They haven't. Let's make the hedge fund managers pay their fair share: http://www.alternet.org/story/151479/if_the_top_25_hedge_fund_managers_paid_taxes_like_you_and_me,_we'd_cut_44_billion_of_the_national_deficit_/
12. the crew of a private jet is rather limited. Big oil has transformed into a global industry to shield most of its profit and thoroughbred owners employ again a small staff that trains , keeps, and races the horses. Since tax breaks have been in place and regulation eased, the wealthy have moved their major operations out of the country and closed up domestic industries. What is left is service industry which is on the low end of the income package.
13. Pure class war. Leerjet and Gulfstream employ thousands in 15 cities. Why single out their business for failure?
