When rich people talk about "incentives" to work harder, they just mean making poor people even more poor so they are too desperate to say no.

I'll say it again. Using the tax code to incentivize "job creation" would involve making payroll and benefits paid to actual human employees more deductible than they already are. It doesn't involve simply lowering tax rates.

The rich now create jobs that keep people poor, struggling. No more like Henry Ford who created the middle class; Ford wanted his employees to be able to buy & enjoy the products they made.
