Intereresting Tape, the rich produce jobs the poor cant produce jobs or employment maybe thats why the working people defend the rich?
That's the usual story we get handed but it seems to me that jobs are created in response to a demand for production, not because rich people like being employers. Hit 'em with a bus and someone else will provide for the demand. That's capitalism. Screwing the poor into working 2 jobs and having a generally shitty existence under a system that favors such a lopsided distribution of wealth isn't what I'd call enlightened economic policy. Kissing big company ass even seems contrary to free market capitalism insofar as it gives them enough latitude to become sufficiently entrenched that innovative startups able to provide a superior product to the consumer would have a hell of a time trying to wedge their way into the market.
The rich, it seems, actually dislike being employers for Americans and prefer to get things done on the cheap in Mexico or China, but are quite content to charge top dollar for their products in the US while demanding all sorts of government concessions for their continued... whatever it is they supposedly do to benefit Americans. Something else the government should address imo. Given that big companies are prepared to run America and it's people into the ground for the sake of short term profit, I'm baffled that working people continue to get fooled by these smoke 'n mirrors trickle down fables.
Anyway... I'll stick to making wisecracks in the future, I reckon.
F@GGOT?
Ugh. This is why I rarely enter political discussions. Knew I should have listened to Jimminy Cricket.
