Good question at the end there
It is the rich telling the middle and low-classes that they need to save and tighten up the bootstraps. Rich folks tell regular folks that jobs are being created; you just got to look hard. You should see the number of applications I receive now. And you should see what some of these people used to do. Project manager, executive secretary, accountant, senior Unix server admin, systems engineer, biomedical engineer, high-school teacher, etc. In fact, the biomedical engineer works for me. We have talked much. He's happy to be working somewhere but I can tell his pride and pockets have taken near death blows. And then I hear some rich people tell me that my business provides manufacturing jobs. Come on! Don't use my business for your stupid stats. We prepare soups, subs, and drinks. Leave the manufacturing to the car companies, steel mills, and other real manufacturers.
I am comfortable. I am in the upper-middle class. And I make sandwiches for a living. I pour soup for the rich and the poor. I grill the sub for the rich and the poor. I am not better than someone below my income. And I will always make sure my workers, my employees, MY PEOPLE are taken care of proper. And that is something that the rich could do more of. Like it or not, when you have lots of money, people want to partake. That's life. Do you have to share? No. Do you have to take care of your folks as a CEO? No. But when can affect so many folks' lives in a positive manner.....
WHY NOT??????????????
