    Government doesn't create jobs.

    The government can not pay a single dollar to a single person until they have taken that dollar from someone else. That dollar comes from someone that has a real job that created the wealth that the government is milking.

    If you haven't had this thought you need to learn about the Community Reinvestment Act and liars loans.

    You are completely wrong. The government does create jobs and wealth, but you need to step out of that ideological straightjacket and apply some simple reasoning.

    Here's the proof that the government creates wealth:
    You are well over 18 years old and you have the means to leave this country and transplant in one of the many places of the world without any government regulations. But you haven't done that, which means that the structure provided by the government in this country is of equal or greater value to you than the taxes you pay.
