The CEO said this while justifying Boeing outsourcing jobs to India or China. So here is the deal, if you are rich you must pay half of what you make to the Fed because you wouldn't have been able to make that money if you were not living in the USofA where men have sacrificed and died for your freedom to make that much money. Besides it's your duty foisted on you by the government telling you what you owe others for your good fortune.

If this crappola applies to individuals, it should apply to corporations also. Corporations should not be allowed to outsource jobs because if they had not gotten their start in the USofA they would not have been successful. This is what corporations owe the Americans that have fought and died for their freedom, growth and prosperity.

The problem is there are not politicians willing to do what is necessary to maintain the underlying health of the American economy. I really have nothing against the "rich." What I have a problem with are government policies that are designed to destroy American jobs, be they manufacturing, IT, or picking vegtables. There used to be a very big market for migrant workers to pick tomatoes in the USA then people developed a tomato harvesting machine. Capital investment increased American productivity. i want to see more capital investment in the USA.

I don't have anything against the rich either. But this is the justification given by liberal politicians for stealing the wealth of the rich. If it works as a burgular tool for the left to strip mine the wealthy individual, we should demand that it work as well for corporations whose pockets they are in.
