What most people don’t understand is that every dollar that government “spends” has to be taken from someone else first.

Now we have more people riding in the cart than pulling it, and this is unworkable.

As a good friend once observed, “Wealth is created on the shop floor.”

She’s right.

Not just that, but then there’s people who claim that employing more govt workers means tax revenue goes up. While this may be true, government pay goes up even more. For every extra $20 or so the government gets off their taxes, they first have to pay out $100.

I agree totally except that Wall St has some how hijacked the process. Instead of wealth being created from enterprise they get paid much more than those doing productive work by simply making deals and skimming off the proceeds. Taking a cut is the way the mob works.

The capital of the USA has been hijacked by the special club of banksters instead of being used to build our nation. We just bailed them out so they can get rich again too. As far as I’m concerned the banksters have had a deleterious effect and much to with the decline of the USA. They aren’t capitalists either. Capitalists lose money when they invest it wrongly. Wall Street was recharged on taxpayers dole.
