12 milliion people in the US are unable to find a job, while millions more can't find as much work as they would like or have stopped looking altogether. But people at the very top are working and earning more than ever, out of the belief that paying more taxes is what the rest of the nation wants them to do.
We don't need the most skilled people to work harder than anyone else. Instead of welfare, we want jobs.
Maybe this will mean the cure for some type of cancer will be developed a year later, because a brilliant researcher was able to live comfortably working 20 hours per week instead of 50 hours. This is fine, because even brilliant people should be able to relax. Being talented should never feel like a burden.
The rest of us don't mind having to pay taxes if the government doesn't waste it on wars or special interests. But having a job is the essential first step and right now, there just aren't enough jobs to go around.
Tell the 1% that life isn't about money or the amount of taxes you pay, and it's fine for them to enjoy life too.
