12. In a closed system where assets cannot be indefinitely sequestered that would be the case

but in a system where I can invest 20 bucks in the deli down the street, I can invest 20 in gold, I can invest 20 at BofA, I can invest 20 in BP, or I can invest 20 in a small African textile cooperative, there's nothing to say that those 20 bucks are going towards job creation (or any other economic good) with 3/5 of those options.

Also, doesn't that statement just imply that payroll taxes will go up? Why are the republicans so focused on payroll taxes?
