Publically Funding the lions share of the “Rise of the Global Economy” through our public investments – investments that many of the world’s countries are now exploiting for profit (and we aren’t)....
Despite all of these benefits accrued by the Job Creators in their rise to the top economically, they are now breaking their end of the “Social Contract” by creating all of the jobs overseas....
PS – On the issue of taxes, since the “Job Creators” own over 84 percent of all the wealth in the Nation, shouldn't they pay 84 percent of all the taxes?
They don’t...
What about the losers who pay no tax, get your head out of the sand.
Nice. Don't forget all the "externalities" in terms of costs borne by the system but never accounted for, like health problems and environmental destruction from industrial activites, non-renewable resources depleted, etc... Although I suppose some are partially factored into the list.
