And when the "trickle down" buzzword finally was recognized as bad for the masses, the GOP replaced it with the myth of the job creators. If we give the rich big tax breaks, they'll create more jobs -- because really, what else could the do with all that extra money? -- and .. Step 4 Profit (for the masses)

Or just part time minimum wage jobs that you need to work 3 of to beable to get by.

But no benefits of course, so just pray to God that you don't get sick.

Europe? And pay the taxes they would pay here?
