Nonsense From The Rich

5 libertarian oligarchs who made fortunes off the government they want to destroy - Salon.com:

...Perkins’ defense of his initial comments on Bloomberg betray the shallowness of his libertarian thought. He insisted that his fellow tycoons are “job creators,” despite the fact that they’ve been paying very low taxes for more than a decade – and there are no jobs!

Apple and other big tech manufacturers were allowed to “do what they do” and hundreds of thousands of jobs were shipped overseas...
