(3,795 posts)To clarify: Even the Koch Bros. offer "good jobs". They're the good job providers. Just ask them. They'll tell you.
But, they fight to implement policies that HURT many, many more Americans.
I'm not saying you're as bad as the Koch Bros. of course. I am saying that your telling us to shut up and fall in line with "New Democrats" that continue to cater to the financial elite is probably self-serving based on your responses in this subthread. You might benefit financially, and you might have even experienced quite a large recovery during the Obama years. But, MOST Americans have not. And, continuing to tell us to shut up, fall in line, and to expect "New Democrats" as the best we can hope for is impolite since your economic fortunes have probably improved dramatically and most Americans' fortunes simply have not. Most Americans continue to lose ground.
It's just not very attractive for someone in your position to be lecturing from the position you are in. And, there are plenty of job creators and wealthy Americans that aren't supporting your centrist positions and centrist candidates as they fight to truly reform the system and reverse the relentless trend of increasing wealth and income inequality.
You've got yours. Time to start caring much more about the continuing economic deterioration of the average American.
