I guess you must find it hard to find any winnable counterpoint to what I have said so you have to try to attack.
You and Stevo obviously missed where I stated:

But if the government must be brought into the mix, and refuses to do what is truly best for the nation, promote internships and companies training and working with employees to better themselves.... then we need to put caps on what a person at the top earns.
If we have a minimum wage we may as well implement a maximum wage and take as taxes anything over that wage.
The biggest reason tax revenue will keep decreasing is because of stagnant wages and good paying jobs being exported or cut.
The whole point to my telling my parents story, was to show that there are ways to advance the workforce, promote growth and thus tax revenue. (I guess some where too ignorant and wanting to attack more than see what was said).
You promote internships, training and developing a workforce that increases their own potential, the wages will go up through natural progression, thus tax revenue goes up, fewer people need government programs and the system builds up and progresses.
As opposed to now, where you do not train the workforce, nor do you show them respect, treat them like they are a dime a dozen and then ship jobs overseas, the results are horrendous.
You decrease tax revenue, you have more people turning to government programs and you have an educational system that cannot train or build the needed workforce. In this model, and this is the model we have now, the workforce becomes disenchanted, the government is relied upon more, tax revenue decreases because of wages, thus programs to advance decrease and it is a spiral downward, to a point where everyone from the worker, to the CEO to the government go broke.
