They won't stop investing. You must be a horrible poker player. You think our hand is weak?Let's get some basic facts of life out there:
Folks on EBT don't create jobs or start new businesses. They pay no federal income taxes.
Folks drawing unemployment don't create jobs or start new businesses. They pay no federal income taxes.
The poor sometimes create jobs and start new businesses. Many fail. They pay no federal income taxes.
The wealthy often create jobs, either run businesses or start new ones. They pay the brunt of the income taxes that support the poor, those on EBT and those drawing unemployment.
Corporations provide jobs, pay dividends to their stockholders which are often their own workers, retirees, and the elderly. They also pay income taxes which pay for the social programs necessary to support those on EBT, those drawing unemployment, and the poor.
The Liberals reply? Raise the taxes on the wealthy so they will stop investing in their businesses and hire more people and raise taxes on corporations so the dividends they pay to their stockholders will be reduced and they won't expand and hire more people.
That is a crazy fix.
I said it's crazy.
