Are you KIDDING??? The market dove once opened after 9/11.
The government CAN produce jobs but HOW are they going to pay for them? Tax the rich??? And what is the collective income of the 'rich'? Around $2t annually (per irs.com). And our deficits have been how much?
I guess you could say that those in poverty are not the 'rich' so everyone else IS. So lets raise taxes on all those making above $25k/yr so that we can put others to work. Sounds like redistribution to me...and that has worked SO well in history.
dem tax schemes have never been about efficient collection of revenue. Their beloved death tax wastes more money in avoidance, evasion and compliance than the tax brings it. Its all about pandering to their base and their base's base instincts of class envy and economic vandalism (if I cannot be rich the government should punish those who are).
