It's not the governments job to create jobs. Maybe if you were a socialist or communist country, but last I looked you weren't. Jobs are generally created by the private sector, and unions never encourage the creation of jobs, they do quite the opposite.

I have nothing against the ultra wealthy, but you have to understand that to become ultra wealthy, you have to have an ENORMOUS appetite for making money, more than anyone here can even understand. Any person or group with that appetite for making money has no internal checks and balances. They will keep consuming until there is nothing left. It's just the nature of the beast. So you can't allow them to have everything they want or eventually they will destroy whatever system they happen to operate in.

That is such a crock, and is just not true. Many ultra rich got there by performing a unique service, by inventing something awesome, by creating something amazing. These people turned the US into a world superpower, made it wealthy, made it prosper.
