“We were sold a bill of goods saying that if the “job creators” just had more then it would trickle down to us in the form of more and higher paying jobs. Well, the “job producers” have more now than have ever had and corporate profits are through the roof but the rest of us are stuck with stagnating wages, longer hours and high unemployment. “

I’ve only seen this happen because the government took more and more from the economy- destroying growth. As in the last 20 years or so.

When are you talking about?

You know that taxes as a percent of GDP has been trending down over the past 20 years, right?

So where is your evidence of the government "taking more from the economy - destroying growth" because I have yet to see any.
