Remember that?

How come we never (and probably never will now) bring out the so-called "job creators" who got tax cuts with the mantra that they will create jobs but never do?

"How many jobs have you created or have you sent ALL the money from the tax cuts to Cayman Islands tax shelters?"

"If you're so insecure about creating jobs, maybe you should consider giving the reins of your business to someone else, someone who actually has some backbone, right?"

"Sir, you do realize that while you can take your sweet time on creating jobs, the poor can't write IOUs to pay for medical bills or to pay for the rent?"

"People are sacrificing their chance at obtaining the American Dream so you can live the good life, that for you means owning a fleet of gold plated yachts, so how does that make you feel?"

If we give the wealthy tax cuts with the promise from the government and the media that they will use that money to create jobs and they instead hoard it all, then how is there NOT a breach of trust somewhere in there?

Uh oh, better trot out some more baseball players.
