Why do people complain about record profits and not enough jobs. Jobs are part of the expenses and expenses should be kept as low as possible. If the jobs are outsourced to another country, so be it. Why should the owners of wealth be loyal to anything other than wealth? They should be free to do what they want as long as they do not destroy the property of others.
Because the rightwing is always trying to make them out as some kind of damn heroes that's why. "Job creators"

Why do people complain about workers salaries and benefits? When somebody takes a job they do it for the money, same reason the "job creators" start businesses, money

Are you serious????? First of all the "if the IRS does not audit them" leads me to believe that you think tax avoidance is against the law. Do you? (It's not, it's tax evasion that's against the law)

No, it's the opposite.

The IRS does not audit avoidance, therefore it's lawful and there is nothing wrong with it.

So what if the rich avoid taxes?

So what if they grow their money in the Cayman islands?

Morals are NOT laws, furthermore, what if the rich disagree with what their taxes are being spent on?

because the destruction of 'property of others', lifestyle, choices etc.. is the end result of this blind policy of personal greed and gain.

Destruction of the middle class is not the destruction of property.
Taking away a choice or a job is not taking away property.

Because corporations are making record profits, and there are not enough jobs.

Why else?
