Give a moments thanks for the Rich


Yes, I said Thank you to the rich. For the uninformed, the top 1% of income earners EARN 16.93% of the income but PAY 38.67% of the Federal income tax. The top 10% pay 74.47% of the federal income taxes. This money allows Congress to spend in a manner that would embarrass a drunken sailor.

But beyond that, they create jobs. Sam Moore Walton founded a company named Wal Mart. Wal mart has saved the poor and middle class billions by providing reasonable quality at a rock bottom price. Wal Mart is so efficient that when it builds a store, grocery prices in the surrounding areas FALL by 22% thus saving money for people that do not shop at wal mart. Clothing store prices fall by 14%.

Steve Jobs, had a vision and in working doggedly to pursue it gave us products that make our lives easier. That increase our productivity, he fundamentally transformed how we buy and listen to music.

Beyond the companies these men create, they are the most charitable people in Earths history. $330 BILLION in charitable foundations created from this wealth.

Even their money creates jobs, products, and small businesses. It is invested in other companies, start-ups, new technology, business expansions, ALL of which create jobs for everyday Americans.

Give a moments thanks because without these successful people, the government would not have money to buy votes, hand out charity, and you would not have a company to go to work for to earn your living.
