"you should pass this right away"

Let me start off by saying please excuse my very republican opinions. President Barack Obama addressed the United States on September 7th 2011. In his speech he made a proposal called the american job act. I did find a few things I understand as valuable. For one, creating construction jobs by fixing major bridges and creating jobs that actually need to be done. Secondly tax cuts to private businesss' that increase their staff numbers, and also for those that raise their employees wages. Although, what I majorly disagree with is how he still takes 40% of the money that the people who work hardest earn. Let me give an example to try and explain my frustration. So, say you have to high class guys, they work at McDonalds, guy one works 20 hours a week and makes 15,000 dollars a year. While guy two is working 40 hours a week and he makes 30,000 dollars a year. Clearly if I asked you who works harder you would say guy two? Here's the problem with that, guy one doesn't get taxed because he makes 15,000 dollars, while guy two who makes more than that gets to pay an income tax. Of course, this makes tons of sense because guy two works hard, so that thousands of americans don't have too. I leave you with this America, should we really pass this right away?
