You and I have a fundamental difference of opinion. You believe that tax dollars enable the capital investments to drive the economy while I believe that the entrepeneurs are responsible for job creation. Most of them do not receive Gov't handouts like those you have pointed out. Yes, some patronage jobs are handed out as "favors" to the poor who are unable to find a decent paying job elsewhere. It's another form of wealth distribution. The people who make it in this world are those who invest their time, money and sweat to making business work. The more the Gov't taxes them, the less willing they will be to bust their butts, leading to an eventual downturn in the economy. I know liberals hate to admit trickle down economics work, but that is what our current prosperity resulted from. Remember, it's trickle, not a flood.knc
