Utter nonsense.  My employees worked hard during a shutdown of the economy by an out of control government relying on idiots lke Fauci.  The work hard, pay their taxes, obey the laws and I am happy to have kept them employed during that time.  So no Goofy, they are not even remotely the leeches that I am referring to. Those leeches choose not to work, do not pay taxes and expect someone else to pay for their lifestyle by having the government take money from the productive at the point of a gun.  

As for your crack about taxes, it too is completely wrong and belies your total ignorance.  Even if I didn't pay a dime in income taxes due to my use of legitimate deductions and write offs (which is not the case any more than it is for Trump), the millions per year in wages I pay to my employees (including my own) are subject to state and federal income taxes and employment taxes which when combined can be upwards of 50%.  I know you've never created a business or jobs in your entire life which is why you are totally ignorant of the real world.  Sad that I have to explain this to you but it puts you in the majority of Americans that are literally clueless.

And lest you think I am overstating the tax burden I will use GA as an example.  Most of my employees are highly compensated and are probably in the upper tax brackets.  So they pay 37% in federal taxes.  Then they pay 5.75% in state income taxes and employment wages paid by the company and the employee come up to 15.3%.  I'll do the math for you because I know how hard it is.  That comes up to 58.05%, lower for employees in lower tax brackets obviously.  So my annual wages are around $7M per year so in a typical year we pay between $3M and $4M in taxes through our employees.  And that doesn't include the income taxes paid on whatever is left over at the end of the year.  So yes, my company over the last 22 years has paid tens of millions in taxes and it has nothing to do with the net income of the business that is likewise taxed to death at marginal rates.

Keep doubling down on ignrance and stupidity Goofy.....I expect nothing less.  You really must enjoy being wrong.  You do it so well and then double and triple down.  Seek help.  You need it.
