“The Microsoft founder, whose net worth is $76 billion, suggested the problem could be fixed by reducing taxes on employers and raising taxes on employees...”

How about instead we take Bill Gates’ $76 billion and give everyone who ever purchased a Microsoft product $10,000 per product for their pain and suffering. So if you suffered through Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, and Windows 7, Bill Gates would be required to cut you a check for $40,000. Then any leftover money could be used to hire every out of work IT person to fix all the Microsoft products that are still messing with our daily lives. That is how you start to fix the economy.

“That is how you start to fix the economy.”

By failing at math?

I understand the ire, but the numbers don’t begin to add up.
