Without viable growth industries, that are profitable, and that hire employees to help with the growth... employment malaise will continue for some time ~~ the next couple of years at least. That's why I keep asking the question....where is the growth going to come from? Currently I believe about half of our citizens are employed by state and national government in one way or other... Government doesn't create growth. Government collects taxes, especially from the "wealthy"....(and I believe that wealthy is defined as from $75,000 upwards.....certainly any couple making over $200,000 is defined that way...and this group pays by far over 50% of ALL taxes paid to the government. Where will growth come from if the capital is taken out of the market by taxes?
