Thus we created fake jobs. Once the fake money was gone, the fake jobs had to leave. Government can't create jobs. Business owners can't create jobs. Only the consumer can. If the consumer will not or cannot spend $$$ then there is no cash flow for a business owner to indirectly "create a job". Taxing the business owner is not the problem. The problem lies in the unadulterated taxing of the consumer at a rate of almost 50-60% of their income when you figure in all the taxes he or she has to pay. What would you be able to do if you had another $20 to $30 thousand dollars in your pocket each and every year??
