Support tax incentives to job creators, based on hiring

Q: "Job Creators" is the 2012 campaign's term for business owners and other wealthy people who "create jobs." Generally, conservatives refer to "job creators" as a euphemism for cutting taxes for the wealthy, based on the "trickle-down" theory that doing so will create jobs. Liberals use the term "the Top 1%" as an opposing euphemism, implying that the wealthiest top 1% should pay more taxes than the rest of the 99%. Do you support the term "job creators", and the "trickle-down" theory?

A: I SUPPORT Job Creators (business owners, entrepreneurs, etc.) to receive tax breaks; I have a plan for tax incentives based on hiring percentages. I 100% OPPOSE increasing taxes on the 1% of earners. This percentage of the nation will not continue to contribute to growth; thus lessening it to account for losses in tax increases.
