Excellent article! I would add just a couple of questions for the readers out there in cyberland. Concerning tax cuts for the rich, or wealthy, or economically blessed, and the complaints from the left: explain the logic, or in their case, the absence of logic, that if one didn't pay any or very little tax, why should they be entitled to a tax refund of the size like those who paid the taxes?
Secondly, how many jobs has anybody ever been offered by a poor person? It takes a healthy amount of capital formation to put a company together, and I don't recall any poor Michael Dells', Steve Jobs, or any other poor person hiring anybody else.
Lastly, several decades ago, the ratio of farmers to consumers was a very differenct number than it is today. We (the blessed farmers, that is) still produce all the food we did several decades ago, in fact much more, with many fewer farmers. Did we "outsource" the farming jobs? No, I suspect that many former farmers are now doing something much different, much less time intensive, and much less capital intensive than farming.
