In addition, the top 1% of Americans pay 22% of all revenue while the bottom 50% pay nothing in income tax. From this, it would seem clear that those among the 1% already pay a "fair" share of the revenue. Many among the demonized 1% are the major JOB CREATORS IN OUR SOCIETY!! Therefore increasing the taxes on these major job creators will result in less money for these businesses. The consquuences will be LESS jobs, and career opportunities for Americans.
Could it be Obama's goal is NOT to fix the economy or revive jobs, but merely to get reelected????

Most of the major corporations in the world are international they get taxed by various different countries. I am not sure that your argument really holds up. Small business people create a lot of jobs but my guess is that there are all kinds of tax incentives for them to create new jobs.

Who is demonizing small business owners??? That seems like a Republican Political Action Committee gimmick.
