Government can NOT support everyone, no matter how much you try to take from those who possess wealth. The more you take from the wealthy in a recession, the less likely they are to invest in creating jobs. Add the increased costs of ObamaCare for employers and there is next to NO incentive for the rich to create US jobs.



Yes, actually you DID say that only the wealthy create jobs. This language we write and speak has many subtleties, one of which is that you can imply something without actually writing or saying it. It's the beauty of this language that few other languages have.

Edit: Had to color and bold some more text from AM.


Your interpretation is just that. Clearly your reading skills SUCK.

Again, you have no clue what a small business is... or you have a VERY warped idea on what is considered wealthy.

The legal definition of "small" varies by country and by industry. In the United States the Small Business Administration establishes small business size standards on an industry-by-industry basis, but generally specifies a small business as having fewer than 500 employees for manufacturing businesses and less than $7 million in annual receipts for most nonmanufacturing businesses.

Did you need that written in RED? rofl


WTF are you talking about? You clearly stated that only the rich create jobs. I refuted it, and now you're blabbering about a different issue that I brought-up. Although in the same topic, these issues are different, hence I made 2 separate posts.

So, getting onto your issue, I never said anything about small businesses. I said MOST businesses are owned by the middle-class. I'll say it again: Most businesses in the U.S. are owned by the middle-class.
