Your buddy doesn't employee those people by himself and for himself. His business employees those people. Does he take all that money he gets with his tax breaks and hire people to do random stuff or create extra jobs with the money he's saving? I seriously doubt he does.


Also, unless your "rich friend" is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, he's probably not in the category we are talking about.

In both cases they are the business and without them there would not be a business. I know the friend with 89 employees takes a bunch of money every year and puts it back into his business so he has capital to grow and hire new employees. We are really picking at things to prove a point. All of us, the rich, middle class, and the poor creat jobs in one way or the other and its time we quit playing the class card against one another. I'll agree that the rich probaly would not be rich without the spending of the middle class and the poor but on the same hand alot of the poor and middle class would not have jobs without the rich creating them. Last time I checked we all depend on one another in some shape or form.
