    According to connies, I have never worked for a rich person. Starting in the fields when I was a kid I have never been hired by anyone making over $250 k.

    Outside of a few jobs I've held in a large corporation, mostly I've worked for small businessmen, and I've had more family money than most of them.

    They weren't wealthy and they weren't poor, except for two of them, poor businessmen and under capitalized, I brought home more than both of them, but we in the office ran to cash our paychecks because we knew it was only a matter of time.

    i never got a job from a wealthy person. think about it, if Mr Moneybag hires someone directly, he has to pay minimum wage, employment taxes and take on other social responsibilities like disability and unemployment insurance. instead Moneybag only pays for services performed by "independent" contractors, so they are the ones that get stuck with all the tax obligations. the only people Moneybag hires are illegals for the day to do yard work, which does not qualify as a "job" and certainly not a career.

    my jobs all came from organizations or corporations.

    Wealthy persons aren't hiring many Americans these days - why should they when they can hire slaves in Mexico, China or India at $1/hour? They want to destroy unions and drive up the unemployment rate here and cut social services so that Americans will be just as desperate to work for $1/hour. Is that what you want? Because that's where we've been heading for the last 40 years. This used to be a prosperous, happy, healthy middle class society where everyone benefited from their hard work, not just the super-rich. Not anymore!

    Most of my jobs have been from middle class people or the Government. This is a waste of a question in my opinion. The wealthy are paying lower taxes than they did years ago, and seem to be accumulating more wealth all the time. They control a huge percentage of the total wealth in the USA at this time. Are you feeling sorry for them? I'm not. When you earn millions per year, and can write off the wages paid to your employees and not pay tax on those wages, you still end up with plenty in the bank.

    Most jobs are created by small business' not large corporations.

    Hope that helps you understand what you apparently refuse to grasp.

    "Small business" owners are NOT wealthy.
