Umm, Bill Gates didn’t become a “rich fat cat bastard” until AFTER he made his millions. He wasn’t one of the wealthy to begin with, by any stretch.
The lobbying for H1B visas began AFTER he got wealthy, so he could become *wealthier.* That’s why he got what he wanted - because he WAS one of the wealthy. The wealthy get what they want when it comes to tax breaks, because they are wealthy.
We have to protect the, you see, because they are the ones who “invest and create businesses that create jobs.” Yeah, they DO create jobs - in other countries!
It’s been the same old song and dance since Reagan: “Lower taxes on the top brackets, so that they will hire more people!” We’ve been cutting taxes on the top brackets since 1980 - and the economy has gone wonderfully for them during that time. It has gotten provably worse for EVERYONE else.
Everybody wantsto be rich. But we don’t need zillionaires running around like aristocrats, crying poverty, and promising that they will create jobs if we just give them tax breaks. hell, it’s gotten so bad that *Rand Paul* himself said on Election Night that we should lower taxes on rich people because “we all work for rich people.”
Hey Rand, some of us work for ourselves - and we are NOT rich people. How about if these “rich people” you want to reward actually do something worth rewarding first? I say give all the zillionaires who actually start to give people JOBS with health insurance the tax breaks? Raise the taxes on all the ones who are just sitting on historic amounts of cash - *they’re* not helping America. Why should America help them?
My point is that he is welcome to his wealth, it doesn’t belong to the government. I’m just pointing out that Old Man Scroogates is a pennypincher who underpaid workers and lobbied government to permit him a wider labor pool so that he COULD underpay workers.
The profit saved was not distributed to employees or shareholders. It went in his moneybin.
I hope the rat bastard marxist chokes on it. Bill Gates is bad for America.
