I actually do, just tax the super rich alot BUT only tax them if their money isn't doing anything, if their money is invested in something that jobs X number of people or more then they don't have to pay, so instead of paying the tax the super rich will just start businesses that employ people and not try to make massive profits just break even and if they don't use the money to make jobs

Technically if your money is in the bank it's doing something...Making money is something a corporation is requried to do legally...Taxing rich peolpe means the rich people will move their money to another country that doesn't tax as much...

This issue is really complex. Plus it's not only the number of people who are unemployed but also the type of work those who are unemployed are capable of doing.

They're not all engineers, which the US needs. It's mostly unskilled labour that can't find jobs ( I think last I heard unemployment in that sector could be as high as 16%). For engineers is 3%.

Thats why you put in an even bigger tax for moving large sums of money out of the country, just funnel them to the point where it's in their best interest to create jobs, and please banks mismangement of money is one of the main reasons this happened, money in the bank goes to loans not jobs
