I go to the dentist to see the DENTIST — not his office help.
I go to the animal hospital to see the AVIAN VET, not the scheduler at the front desk.
I go to a restaurant for WOLFGANG PUCK OR P.F. CHANG, not because of the talents of the food servers or dish washers.
I call the plumbing company for the MASTER PLUMBER, not to talk to the person who answers the phone to take appointments.

The “RICH” high-skilled people are the Suns around which these other jobs revolve & exist.
They’re the “High” earners for an important reason (went to school for more years, or got advanced training for many more years).
They open businesses - and CREATE JOBS - for the others working at their offices.

If P.F. Chaing was not running and coordinating the unique products at his restaurant, I WOULD NOT BE THERE. I would be at home, making my own dinner, not transacting with him and his staff.
If the Avian Vet wasn’t there to take care of my Parrots, I WOULD NOT BE THERE. I wouldn’t have birds, either.
If the oral surgeon wasn’t there to fix my Crowns, I WOULD NOT BE THERE. I don’t go in to visit the custodian, I go to visit the D*E*N*T*I*S*T*.

Yes, the secondary jobs (secretaries and other staff) make the rich (skilled) specialist more efficient, but they are NOT THE REASON FOR THE CUSTOMERS — IT’S THE SKILLED ENTREPRENEUR WHO ATTRACTS THE CUSTOMERS’ ‘SUSTAINABLE’ REPEAT BUSINESS AND IS THE REASON FOR ALL THE OTHER JOBS THAT ACCOMPANY HIM OR HER AS HE OR SHE OPENS THEIR BUSINESSES — FROM SKILLED HEART SURGEONS TO SKILLED WEDDING PLANNERS.

Egalitarian & Marxists like Reid think the office assistants at the neurosurgery office are “equal” to the Neuro-surgeon.
To Reid, the neuro-surgeon isn’t the ultimate reason for the Customers, the Business, the Value Added, the Economic Growth, or the other jobs created.
Without the surgeon, Reid thinks, all those jobs would continue to exist.
We also need to tax this rich Surgeon more, Reid thinks.
Taxes will not destroy the surgeon’s incentive to stay skilled and go to school for many years in order to eventually exist. It won’t destroy the Economy, or the other jobs. It just “evens things out,” according to Marxist Reid’s thinking...
That’s because Reid’s an idiot.
Only markets, free of government involvement find the answers to create new wealth.
