Makes since when you really think about it. The super rich can absorb the higher taxes and have the resources to deal with more regulations and laws. They have the people in place to build in the loop holes in the tax code and the resources to find them when they need more money. It is no wonder the super wealthy support liberals 3 to 1 over conservatives. Conservatives are for economic freedom which supports small business and the middle class that hope to someday make it rich. Small business is the competition to the super rich and with higher taxes and more rules and regulations can put them out of business. No wonder the super rich support the liberals it works well in their favor.
As far as the liberals go, it works for their goals as well. If you do away with the many small businesses, it is easy to handle the few super rich. After all, it is power that is most desired here. Those of you out there that truly believe that the liberal party is the party for the little people really are being played. At the end of the day it is your party that is allies with the very corporations that you blame the conservatives of being in bed with. Now it makes perfect since why unemployment goes up every time a true left liberal gets into office because small business suffer and they are responsible for 80% of the jobs in America.
Liberal politicians, the super rich, and strange allies
For those that want to argue that the unemployment is getting better is plain wrong. The only thing getting better is the shrinking of the labor force. If Obama gets re-elected, be ready for a truly new America. One that no longer includes the small business and has a labor force that accounts for less than half of America. During Obama’s entire presidency the labor force participation rate has continually dropped. I showed all the way back through Bush’s presidency to show rates. The history goes all the way back to 1994 and there was never a participation rate below 66 percent until Obama.
