No. It was Negroes, Chinamen and Mexicans.
Using a shovel.... is not quite building a country.
Your not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
While we can all respect the jobs done by those you named, you can't
believe they "built" a country.
It is the rich who pay the greatest proportion of taxes.
The "rich" control a greater proportion of the wealth so they only
logically would pay of tax on said wealth. The wealth cannot be allowed
to get so wealthy as to pose a threat to the Republic.
The rich pay "Income" tax not wealth tax, therefore you are taxing them
for being *PRODUCTIVE* and that means that they were the "most
productive" since they paid the most tax.
You are admitting things by your own beliefs.
A wealth tax would be taxing assets not income.
