Tea Party voters in my town are pretty sick of the Tea Party.

35. You have never worked for a poor person in your life.

I guess maybe it could be worth mentioning you have never worked for a poor person in your life. When you are in a position to open a business buying a piece of property and investing 100K into inventory is chump change, a tax shelter and another way to bring in residual income. Jobs are created by the willingness to gamble that is inherent to people who invest. It is important to consider the sales tax, income tax from both the company and owner as well as all of the employees account for a large percentage of the money our government needs to operate. This entire chain of cash flow is started by someone who has the money and has decided to take the pursuit of liberty into their own hands.
Employees are vital, but if you pay any attention to sports, anyone is disposable, employees do not make a company money the system in place does. A sports analogy might be the New England Patriots, or McDonald's.
The only tax rate that matters to a business owner is the dividend tax. Everything else you will pay for.
I do agree wages are based on local demand.
I would also add I believe human nature and greed have played a large role in the destruction of honest, fair capitalism but that does not mean we should simply classify capitalism itself as destructive.
