Job creators
I am so sick of seeing the idle rich referred to as the productive class. When is someone going to challenge that? What is produced when computer program skims .o1 cent off every trade in HFT? what is produced when a CEO cuts the bottom line by laying off US workers and sending those jobs to another country? Or cuts benefits and lowers wages of workers? Why do they make millions destroying gainful employment while workers, y'know the ones who actually labor to create the things of value bought and sold in our economy are referred to as the draining the system when they work all day and can't make a living wage?


I just don't get it.

1. I agree
How can these Repubs claim such nonsense when we've had 30 years of "trickle down" and the Bush tax cuts, and yet, we have a crashing economy and record unemployment.

Reaganomics and Bush's tax cuts were suppose to "grow the economy" and create jobs. They've had the opposite effect, and Repubs are still claiming they'll work!

...after 30 years!

2. We are in this disaster because WE NO LONGER PRODUCE
THINGS IN THIS COUNTRY.

The Republicans get away with this and every other
claim because no one challenges them.

3. they are job creators
in other countries! Our responsibility is to insist on USA made products, start our own manufacturing and do something about it on our level... there is much the masses can do, we just need to educate everyone
