EXPLAINING LOOPHOLES & POTHOLES

Have you ever wondered why the gap between Middle America and the wealthy keeps on growing? We could chalk it up to hard work. But the person working 2-3 jobs also works hard, but without fabulous reward. We could point to simple greed. But the object of the greedy does have its limits (e.g. you can only stiff so many people).

The reality is our government representatives in Washington write favorable legislation that allows certain people to pay fewer taxes, dump debt on others, and undercut the local tax base. How does this happen? Check out this video. It's just one of many examples that explain how government creates the conditions for wealth creation for a few, while leaving Middle America holding the bag. It also helps explain why our infrastructure and local tax base gets undercut.
