Why do the cons here worry so much about the wealthy and corporations?

Question

It doesn't seem that many of them are wealthy individuals or major corporate investors, so what's the great concern?

You gonna say they create jobs?

Answer 1

They have bought into a myth, and are going on a combination of faith and delusion.

I've been a republican conservative for half a century, but I don't buy into the current propaganda. My antique conservatism is now called liberalism (by those neocons who can spell), but it isn't my views that have changed.

Control of the government by a few greedy people has devolved into an old old situation which was named fascism during the 1930s.

Looks like your question must get to the bottom of things, you certainly stirred up a lot of bottom-feeders.

Answer 2

WOOOHOO what a question!! I've been laughing at these answers for tne minutes now! Can't really add much to it, Chalooch, Cut the Crap and Gaspode covered it.

Maybe if these folks got out of the box for a little while, they might understand the question. I don't know if these people are real conservatives or just sheep told what to think by their bosses, the media and the government, but there sure doesnt seem to be much thinking going on. if I were conservative, I'd be offended! But...great question!

Answer 3

Virtually every business in America is a Corporation of some sort so they do create jobs. While I don't personally care what happens to wealthy individuals, a defense of the wealthy against leftist policy is a defense of the middle class. If we allow the wealthy to be destroyed as a class, the leftists will next turn against the middle class because compared to the poor, they will be the wealthy class. The goal of Utopian leftist ideology isn't that everyone be wealthy but that everyone end up poor.

Answer 4

Maybe they're concerned that libs like you are going to ruin the economy by taxing them into obliteration. After all you have admitted that you would.

Anyone who understands economics is concerned when people that don't understand it try to run things. It has nothing to do with being a con or not. Just a matter of common sense.

Answer 5

They DO create jobs. Who do you suppose does so, welfare rats?

Further, I find your question humorous in that you have the gall to ask us why WE "worry so much about the wealthy and corporations". We're not the ones who are so all-consumed by class envy as to be positively green (or Red, as the case may be). Why does the Left have such a problem with people who work hard and make a success of themselves? If you guys spent as much time getting an education and worling as you do complaining about those who do, you'd be wealthy as well.

Answer 6

Indeed, I am going to say they create jobs, and spread the money around to help the economy. Practical common sense tells a person when you have more money, you spend more money, putting money back into the economy, and making a nation richer. If you have a great job, and make money, you spend it right? If a company is doing well financially, they are apt to give raises, and increase production, and hire more people, in order to make their company run more efficiently. If they are taxed to death by the Liberals, their monies are cut short, and no one will be hired, and because they cannot afford it, production goes down. This is not political, but common sense.

Answer 7

Yeah, the wealthy and the corporations will create plenty of jobs-for India and Thailand, that is!

Answer 8

That's exactly right: they create jobs, and by investing in new ventures, create new technology as well. The tax cuts of a few years back have spurred business growth to the extent that total tax collections have increased (!) by over $1,000,000,000,000 beyond what they would have been had the tax cuts not occurred.

Answer 9

We worry about the ability of people PRESENTLY IN the middle class to BECOME wealthy, which happens at a faster rate when you reduce tax rates.

Answer 10

I don't really care about them much. As long as other people aren't threatening their lives or trying to take their money unfairly, I couldn't care less.
