American Thinker: It's about Greed, All Right -- Government Greed
American Thinker: It's about Greed, All Right -- Government Greed:
A friend of mine asked a rhetorical question the other day. Caught me up short, I'll tell you. I'd never heard it put quite that way, and I had to ponder it. He asked, Why does the Left love jobs -- but hate employers? Oh, they'd never cop to it, but that's what it amounts to.
Think about it. When they speak disparagingly about 'tax breaks for the rich,' they're usually talking about tax incentives for those who are in a position to hire people. (Ever get a job from a poor person?) Think of 'The Rich' as code language for employers, and see how those put-downs sound to you when you plug the word employer into such a remark the next time you hear one."
