Why do we cede the "job creator" meme to right wingers? [View all]

Think about it. Who is the true (American) job creator?

1) A 1%er who invests 85% or more of his money anywhere in the world he can get the highest return, whether that be a foreign company, precious metals, devious financial schemes that destroy American companies and sell off the parts while ("legally&quot robbing working people of their pensions, or literally any moneymaking scheme, however immoral or illegal that he can reliably get away with.

2) An ordinary American who uses 85% or more of her income buying things like a house (mortgage), food, clothes, education, services and entertainment right here in America?

WE are the real job creators, not the super rich.
