please tell me that shit is photoshopped
people need to start distinguishing between self-made rich and ill-gotten rich. There's a great book called Free Lunch about politicians, companies and other 'distinguished' types that have used the political system for their gain. These favors, handouts, tax breaks, and other policy-makings divert huge amounts of taxpayer money into the pockets of certain few.
Overall this money is taken away from schools, roads, etc - Its really fucked up and you can't compare these scumbags to anybody who makes money with sales. No matter how useless your product or how shady the marketing- the customer opted in.
But taxes are something you have to pay. you also pay for it when your city can't afford proper maintenance, can't build parks, doesnt have enough resources, etc. State and city budgets get strained when so many millions of dollars are diverted to individuals, groups, and companies.
The common good suffers when the percentage of wealth keeps going to a concentrated few, and when money is diverted from taxes, or via taxbreaks, to individuals who are friends of policy makers. There have been many that have exploited the public treasury.
the obvious and clear divide to ultra-rich and growing-poor in america doesn't really help your average entrepreneur in the long run. the less money middle America and the poor have at their disposal, the less they have to spend on our stupid shit. No matter how stupid the shit- marketers and entrepreneurs are at the mercy of policy makers and those truly in power.
Its not just taxes, its job loss and foreclosures. Massive fucking banks and people who shape policy make changes that have sweeping effects, then the country gets fucked and everyone but the super-wealthy suffers.
btw i didnt even read the op. yeah I blame Bush.
