Ok, so what is your solution?

Would it be to fire all the people who work in these jobs that have a 'reduced impact" on the economy, so they are contributing nothing? I may have to look up the definition of reduced, but I am sure that it is more than nothing.

Or is your solution that suddenly, all these corporations and rich people will make more jobs now that that are paying less taxes? If so, the amount of Taxes GE paid last year says "Hi".

I am sure there is another solution that makes sense to you, and I would love to hear it.
