Hi Mrsoul,
I have worked in and around construction for over 40 years and I have seen good and bad when it comes to efficiency.
Most inefficiencies, not all, occur within public sector workforces, on public sector projects, or on union controlled projects.
As for private employed personnel, yes, I agree there are some lazy good-for-nothings, but they operate? and get paid by private owners and do not impose a financial burden to society. In fact, they actually help keep them off the public "teet".
The bailouts on Wall Street? Suggest you read The Creature from Jekyll Island.
Corporate tax cuts? IMO, corporations have no monies and IMO, should not pay any taxes.
Tax cuts for people like Warren Buffet? If government did their job effectively and efficiently, there could be tax cuts for everyone.
In the present environment, if tax cuts are given to the wealthy in order to keep jobs at home, so be it.
Why do the most successful, need to bear the biggest slice of the tax burden?
Good Luck to all!
