(14,853 posts)I worked with a Republican who complained about his tax dollars "going to welfare" (I told him that most tax dollars were spent elsewhere), but he also complained about taxes on the rich because "they give us jobs."
He was a guy making about $10/hour.

(9,760 posts)so they've already "given back."
Never mind that most of them have created crappy, low paying, benefits-free jobs while making piles of cash for themselves. We're still supposed to revere them as "job creators." And, of course, since they're wealthy, we're supposed to look up to them for that "achievement," as well. This is key to the sick world view that fuels the RW.
