I am sick of the phrase "job creators"

[muddrunner17]

They're profit seekers, not job creators. Jobs are the byproduct, not the purpose. Companies only hire additional employees when demand increases necessitate new employees that will generate higher profits. More money in the hands of the middle class is the key to building higher demand. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I wish Dems would push back against this misleading term more explicitly.

People exploiters.

3. Demand creates jobs!

No one ever hires a new worker because of the debt, tax policy, or the ability to bring cash home from overseas tax free.

We collectively, the 100% and our demand for goods and services are the job creators.

I agree with you, that Frank Luntz BS phrase should never be spoken again!

6. Had a business owner pretty much admit that to a reporter in a local newspaper

He said in order for him to hire new people , his demand would have to increase.

I can't argue with that logic. Why hire more people to make more stuff you aren't selling to begin with?

Of course the asshat still wanted a tax break anyway. That's what I had a problem with.

4. We are all the job creators

Every time I shop or use a business, I help keep, and maybe even create a job. There is no business out there that hires people out of the kindness of their heart. They hire people because we all create demand....so bite me "job creators," I'm the job creator!!!!!!

need to read the post before posting....oops

8. But it's in the Trickle Down Phrase Book.

Remember, a rising tide lifts all boats...and I've got a bridge I can sell you.

9. Speaking of boats

In a debate I had with with a Conservative friend on trickle down economics, he told me someone has to wash and maintain the boats of the rich. That was his idea of the rich being job creators and why they needed a tax break.

What the rich say when those pesky 47%ers aren't around.

10. It's just the latest rebranding of supply-side/trickle down BS

It's really mostly "believed" by conservative "fellow traveller" idiots; That is, the ones that don't think deeper than the slogan's basic talking point. It allows them to have an ostensibly respectable reason to support their team, rather than reveal their real single-issue reasons like "god & guns" and the like.
