Surely you're not buying into the old lie about the rich being job creators. Corporations create no more jobs than they absolutely have to, because full-time employees have to be provided benefits, and even part-timers are entitled to some protections. Whenever possible, these days, they bypass those annoying expenses by calling their workers contract labor.

WE are the job creators when we spend our money and create demand for goods and services. Everybody prospers when every dollar passes through a lot of pockets. The rich work against that principle by hoarding their wealth, avoiding taxes by sheltering their excess income in offshore accounts where it does no one any good.
