ORIGINAL: mnottertail Then the NYT wasnt a hack job except to the unmindful. I see it as a coverup if we are lauding these great job creators and wealth creators and capitalists in America, AS PEOPLE when in point of fact they are the most unAmerican motherfuckers on earth, and are a huge drain on our economy, and we have rightwingers telling us that regulation and taxes are not the way to go with these guys, when in fact we should gut corporate enabling laws, quit spewing asswipe about free trade and the wonder of corporations. They suck us dry. The broad middle class is what creates wealth and a strong country. The broad middle class is just that, the drivers of the economy. Many middle class businesses are corporations. Many suffer under regulations lobbied by the mega-corps which suits their own purposes. Your right, there are righties who say that regulation and high taxation are not the way to go. Doesn't mean that no regulation or no taxation is preferable. Just that they are overdone. There are also lefties who say that more regulation is needed, along with more taxation. That effects the middle class too. More to comply with. Compliance has a cost too. To the middle class compliance is quite burdensome on the bottom line. So one must be careful about just which job creator, wealth creator, and capitalist one is talking about. Perhaps we should also talk about corporate lobbyists and those in political power who support them?
