Only when you have more than you need can you provide for others as well as yourself. Only then can you invest a lot to allow others to also succeed.
Government earns nothing, it can only take by force.
Except the rich don't provide for others, they steal the work of others...
The One Percent have 43% of the wealth, they did not do 43% of the labor to create it...
This isn't complicated.
If everyone quits their jobs, government has no money to pay them. Did you forget that? Or are you of the opinion that government can magically materialize wealth out of nowhere with no ill effects?
Meh, quite the contrary, we have our greatest prosperity when government makes the rich pay their fair share, and invests in infrastructure and jobs to make our economy run more efficiently.
Except the rich don't provide for others, they steal the work of others...
Every rich guy I worked for paid me for my labor.
The One Percent have 43% of the wealth, they did not do 43% of the labor to create it...
So what?
we have our greatest prosperity when government makes the rich pay their fair share,
The top 1% earn about 20% of the income but pay about 39% of all income taxes collected.
