LOL my world? Dude, I'm not saying their jobs are worthless. They aren't.
What I am saying is that they do not contribute to the tax revenue, ergo they do not pay taxes.
If I get paid $100 and I get taxed at the 20% rate, I PUT $20 dollars IN the tax revenue money bag.
If you get paid $100 and you get taxed at 20% rate, you TAKE $80 FROM the revenue money bag.
What we do for a job is irrelevant from the "money stream" point of view.
