Jobs gone forever? That's depressing news. If only there were a way to make more. I mean actually make more, not just tax the people with jobs so you can hire and pay the people who don't have jobs to do work nobody really needs them to do. You know... jobs the employer can afford to pay for not because the employer forced earned money out of everyone's wallets, but because free-willed participants in a fair market agreed to pay for those services without being threatened with jail time. Wouldn't that just be the bee's knees! If the government could create more jobs out of thin air like that? Well, for the government it'd be thin air anyway. For everyone else involved, it'd be blood, sweat, and tears. Almost makes you think it's unfair who gets the credit for job creation. Maybe that's why the government makes it harder than it needs to be by getting in the way a little: because government leaders know they don't deserve the credit but there's no way avoid it, so they decided the only way to receive less undeserved credit for job creation would be to make it harder for people to create jobs. Sure, those people might have to bleed, sweat, and cry a little more to create those jobs for others, but in the end our noble government leaders know that sacrifice is worth being able to maintain their humility. Being a politician is a hard job, you know.
