Well, here's the deal. The corporate and small business interests do more in the form of employing than any party's policies ever did. Much of the social theories that Democrats introduced over the years omit major parts of reality. Poor people built the roads, fine, wealthy people paid for it; Democrats tend to be punitive towards business interests as they have the "deep pockets" mentality, well, it's insulting to a business owner to assume 100% of the liability and then be regulated by non contributing " business partners" in government that contribute nothing, take at will, and use the full force of law to dictate the businesses practices, then turn around and say "it's not enough".
Further, many employees seek laws to further the influence against their employers. While some of those may or may not be necessary it boils down to people using force to change company policy while contributing no liability. The point is, under any tax system you can site, the wealthy pay more, most have no problem with paying more....it's paying too much that becomes the issue.
