Never forget what we have learned during this historical time in our great nation because we are taking it back. I am not saying those professions are not important but they are no more or no less important than any other job.

Everyone is a cog in the wheel from the cashier to the plumber. Its the majority of government desk jockeys who are not only non essential but absolutely worthless and need to be booted. Start with politicians and local officials and work your way down.

Yup I can't remember the statistic exactly but around 40% of the USA workforce is directly or indirectly paid from taxpayers.

Are you including construction workers in that number?

In truth most of the jobs are subsidized in some way. Construction workers on a whole aren't government employees but they do contract work for the government then like me I work in Oil and Gas industry and if they get a tax break that year it just means the government will raise taxes on someone else to make up their loss from another sector or the economy. They never make less in tax but will spend less in places they promised the money would be allocated towards... always. Our economy is very fragile without the means of production. We aren't the America of 1910 or 1940 with booming industrial prowess we have given that title to Asia not just China.

We got into the world markets to gain strength and influence. We could most certainly refocus our industries back on ourselves once more and have a period where the world figures out how to deal with a more isolationist America.
