The problem nowadays is that
small and large businesses aren't hiring to begin with. Yes there are some exceptions but for the most part
businesses are holding on to the extra money they are making
We are scared of this president and his democrats in congress. And from the conversations I have had with customers and suppliers, there is a large amount of businesses which are simply trying to wait out this presidency, which makes the economy even worse.
and making their workers work more. Today workers are working 2 and half times more than they did 20 years ago and getting paid far less.
I say tax the well to do $250,000+ and tax even more the wealthy.
$250,000 is nothing for a small business. Even in our worst year, we make more than that, a lot more. You don't understand what it takes to keep a business moving forward. It's not the same thing as an individual making $250,000 per year in a salary.
How much does someone need to live comfortably: 30mill, 60mill, a billion? How much money is enough?
This is what drives the capitalist system and allows us to live in the best country in the world with the highest standard of living. Greed drives capitalism. It is a natural human emotion. Denying it is not natural or right.
When we have CEO's and other officers of the company making several hundred times more than the average worker, I say tax the sons of bitches. If they don't want to pay their people other than table scrapings, the people that make them the money, then the hell with them.
Tax the shit out of them.
You want to see an outright depression? Do that.
The middle-class is already eroding away because of this huge disparity.
The rich are getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
There is opportunity out there for upward mobility. The major cause of this disparity is our trade deficit. The good paying jobs for the average person are going away. Ironically, if you want to do something about it, you will need to put someone like Donald Trump in office to solve the problem.

If they want to keep getting wealthy, the rich, tax the shit out them. Who cares if it pisses them off. At this point I could care less.
