This sentiment appears about a million times in C-D forums, so we ought to all take a moment to understand the nature of the transaction.
A worker agrees to a wage, shows up to work, and gets a check on payday. Presumably, he is putting his time to its highest and best use, or else he would not show up. Presumably, the employer values the labor more than the cost of the pay and the workers comp and the payroll tax and the unemployment insurance and all the rest.
On payday, they are even. Each party got what they wanted; each must believe that the transaction was worthwhile or it would not have happened. In my state, the employer is free to stop the arrangement at any time; certainly the employee has that right everywhere in the US.
Nobody is beating anybody out of anything. To imply otherwise is to demean the freedom each us possesses, to unlock the highest fraction of our own potential and to sell that effort to the highest bidder or put it to work in an enterprise of our own.
The rules on this board do not allow me to call another poster stupid . 90 % of Americans still have jobs , do you think they come from the people in the housing projects ?!?
If your thinking that unemployment can't get any lower your wrong. The rich will work or invest even less if they are going to be penalized even more with more taxes .
The rich will close their business and live off of what they earned and saved in past years .
If I see that graph one more time... ... You do realize its meaningless without an explanation?
The explanation is that DEMS controlled Congress and therefore government spending when deficit spending and the national debt skyrocketed. What do you NOT understand about that?
Even if that's true, why didn't the DEMS simply not fund the wars? They controlled Congress. They controlled government spending bills. They funded the wars, why?

Because the Dems aren't stealing that money... Like Bush and his cronies were... Rumsfeld declared $2.3 TRILLION missing the day before 9/11...
Yes, the $2.3 TRILLION that went missing during the CLINTON administration.
So why did Rumsfeld announce it the day before 9/11...
