I'm done trying to explain this...
I'll leave the economy discussion with a final quote "You don't help the economy by making the rich poorer, you help it by making the poor richer."
Assuming the tons of people who refuse to work get off their ass and contribute to something instead of being deadweight to the country, and I mean this in the harshest way possible to these people. Looking for a job? That's fine, good on you. Sitting at home living on welfare/food stamps and not even trying to? You're a parasite. That's why the system is needed, because the ones who won't work off of laziness will starve, and the ones who are looking for a job will find one because of growing businesses. It's hard to dumb it down any more than this. People are going to keep complaining about the lack of jobs while taxing the rich and fail to understand the connection between them...
But like I said, that's the last word on economy. Logic has no place here apparently.
