Rich people say that if you take money away from them, they won't be able to create as many jobs. But what it really means is that if you take money from them, they will be stuck with getting $1000 dollar chips at the casino instead of $10,000 dollar chips. The reality in this country is that the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. And what of whatever goods and services the wealthy get. They have more money to pay for them. That puts those things even farther out of the reach of the common people. Unfortunately, the voice of the rich in this country is louder than a foghorn. But the cries of the poor are little more than a whisper.
You're confusing "riches" with "wealth".
And
true wealth isn't measured in riches.
Bitches.
As example, I saw a TV segment about the CEO of McDonald's. He's paid $9 million/year. He, his wife, and the reporter toured the neighborhoods where they grew up- in abject poverty. They both described their experiences as filled with love and the reality of life. And they wouldn't trade it for anything.
Hopelessness, hunger, and despair are great teachers and motivators.
SNAP, WIC, stamps, vouchers, Affirmative Action teach.... dependence on others and not on oneself.
Entitlement replaces self-motivation with lethargy.
Self-motivators tend to be Conservative, the lethargic tend to be Liberal.
It is in the best interest of the Democrat Party to keep America lethargic.
