Liberals Believe
taking money away from the fruits of the most valuable capital and labor in our economy, and spending it on things we wouldn't even approve when the economy was booming, will actually somehow increase our country's output.
Hope that helps clear up any confusion.
and also...A higher cigarette tax will encourage people to stop smoking. A carbon tax will encourage people to shift away from carbon-emitting, and toward "green" energy sources. An increase on the tax for charitable giving will reduce the incentive for donations.
and therefore...A higher tax on the outcome of capital investments will not stop people from investing in the future of our means of production and employment, and even if it did those are rich people who can afford it. A higher tax on the most valuable work being done in our economy (as set by a free market) will not cause those people to shift their time away from this work and towards leisure.
