Doubtful. Let’s face it - things run in families. People who were industrious and hard-working tend to raise industrious and hard-working children, who in turn tend to be able to keep or find jobs even in bad times. Remember, even during the Great Depression, ~75% of people who were of age and physically able did have jobs.
Your argument is incorrect because it assumes that somehow, jobs and taxes are completely unrelated. They are not. Despite what the “non-partisan” CRS says, cutting taxes on businesses, and making a generally business-friendly environment for “the rich” (i.e. people who work hard and start businesses, etc.) would keep jobs here. Raising taxes because of misguided class warfare arguments such as yours will drive jobs away. Mitt Romney seems to understand this, while you seem not to.
Capice?
Upon retirement I got an unusual reward ~ PERFECT ATTENDANCE FOR FOUR DECADES!
My grandmother was a poor woman who raised 10 children and her brother's 6 after his wife died. She did more than her fair share of babysitting with the grandchildre, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren.
Crippled as a young girl she was unable to help keep the family store going when the Great Depression hit.
Her only cash income after that came from Social Security, but not SSA although she'd qualified if she'd applied.
She was a hard core Republican voter and even voted for Alf Landen ~ while the Romneys were lolling around on Mormon charity rolls claiming to be refugees from Mexico. By her standard that ol'boy'd be considered a wastral and layabout not deserving of even Republican charity.
I do believe the man is trying to start a class war. He's insulted the memory of my sainted grandmother and we just can't have that.
