Wealthy people seen begging, standing in soup lines

[OCinBuffalo]

You've got it wrong. The 'morons' here have been arguing that President Obama's plans will actually hurt the poor and middle class. That has been a consistent theme here. So far, you'd have to say they were right. The wealthy are doing just fine. It's the poor and middle class that have gotten squeezed, just like folks here predicted.

Exactly.

 

1. When Obamacare causes insurance rates to rise, when it makes every single business, small and big(except those expempted because they are buddies with Democrats) pay more?

 

That eats into the budget of every single hiring manager. That manager(who is embodied by every single client I have, and every single client of my partners) decided not to hire...middle class people. That's because s/he's not empowered to hire "the rich". The middle class is who they hire.

 

2. When the regulations and taxes this idiot administration passed in the first 2 years of its awful existence causes all of the big guys to keep their money offshore?

 

That same otherwise hiring, middle manager is told: "we aren't expanding. Hold the line, and we'll see where we are in a few quarters." Therefore they don't hire...middle class people. That's because "the rich" want to stay that way, and they aren't going to take risks on expansion, without reasonable chance of reward.

 

3. Taking 1 and 2 together?

 

NOBODY is willing to train anybody for "the jobs of today". They don't to train somebody, who's only going to work 29 hours a week, and, they don't want to train their existing 29-hour week people.

 

So, no middle class people get a chance at moving to upper-middle class. This means no new middle class people will be hired to replace them.

 

 

 

This is the reality "on the ground". This is not the hypothetical fairy world that Obamacare, and Obama's economic team(who've all since run back to academia) live in. For the last time: the poor, and the middle class, do not create jobs. The upper middle class, via their jobs, and the rich, via their capital, create jobs.

 

If you want to create jobs, no different than if you want to create offense in football, you have to create the conditions where people can choose to be successful.
