Kentay what escapes you is that both sides agree that a strong middles class is what this country needs.  What you fail to recognize, and what you continue to lie about, is the difference between philosphies on how to acheive a strong middle class.  The difference IS NOT that conservatives want a weak middle class and liberals do.  The difference is how to get it.  We do not agree that higher tax rates ACHEIVE this.  JFK did not think so.  Reagan did not think so.  And yes, Clinton understood this also.  No matter how much you demonize those making more than 200,000 a year, a million a year, or tens of millions a year you still need investment, you still need business expansion, and you still need business to hire people.  When you raise the cost of investment you kill it like you do with any tax.  When you promote what you do you stifle investment, you stifle expansion, and businesses do not hire.
