This belief that businesses"creates jobs" is a load of crap...
Edited on Sat Jul-31-10 03:55 AM by undergroundpanther
Is a bunch of shit,Because BUSINESSES regardless of size do not create jobs unless there is a DEMAND to be met by the business. What demand? A demand comes from a lot of people having MONEY TO SPEND on needs..
http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/povmeas/papers/orshansky.html

The poorest should be given enough to survive,and why is it so evil that they be given more,enough to thrive? For the truth is,every dollar a poor person gets is USED immediately to buy stuff to survive,the working poor does the same.The money applied to the have nones or have way less instead of the banks would have created the"consumer confidence" they claim is thier excuse to not loan money to small businesses.

If these dumb asses in the media and politics would GET the economy is NOT driven by businesses creating jobs for no reason, but by DEMAND.. The stupid and the greedy rich both may have to face the fact NO business, big or small will create jobs out of thin air and pay people to work doing nothing..Nothing moves without a demand for the job of making/doing whatever the business sells..demand must coming from somewhere,and the rich are not enough to create such a demand.. The quickest demand for stuff come from people who need stuff to survive NOW!!

If these politicians really wanted economic recovery there would be a massive influx of money to the LOWER classes.More than that cheesy 200 dollar check years ago.

If the poor were not forced to be so desperate,then the poor won't be prey for assholes to exploit

The Banks help no one but themselves.Reagan's stupid voodoo trickle down bullshit was a FAILURE and massive theft/fraud against America.It is a LIE that too many people think still "works"and this lie is STILL repeated even by Obama..

In negotiations over the forthcoming economic recovery package, some policymakers have argued that various measures aimed at low- and moderate-income families would serve a “safety net” function but that the package should focus more heavily on creating jobs. This argument reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of the current economic situation and of how economic stimulus works. Some of the proposals that policymakers apparently think of as job creators would actually preserve or create many fewer jobs than other proposals directed at families with low or moderate incomes or unemployed workers.

* The main reason why the economy is shrinking and unemployment is rising is a sharp drop in demand for goods and services.
* The quickest, most efficient way to bolster demand is to put money in the hands of people who will spend it quickly — namely, people who need it to cover basic expenses such as housing, food, and transportation.

Helping struggling families thus isn’t an alternative to preserving and creating jobs; it’s one of the most effective ways to preserve and create jobs and needs to be a prime focus of the forthcoming package.

Republicans hate the poor yet fear the poor becoming self suffient,and eventually becoming the competitors of the old rich, changing the way the old rich operate,changing the culture that is old and dead,changing the status quo.Taking control away from the old rich. That is what the old rich and christian straight whites fear the most,losing control over the millions of people they exploit,impoverish ,abuse and lie to.

4. Exactly.
Without demand, there will be no private job creation. It does not matter what the tax rate is. Even if it were at zero for businesses, without demand, no jobs.

5. Businesses are creating jobs . . . in China . . . and that's the root of the problem.

6. Business does not make jobs...

Labor makes business possible. Labor precedes and is superior to business.

In truth, the bourgeoisie are parasites, we don't need them and would be much better off without them.

7. That's just basic economics
The right has always relied on pseudo-economists like Arthur Laffer to support their fucked up economic ideas. For decades, Republicans have been pushing the failed economic 'theory' that supply creates its own demand. It never has and never will. This has been proven time after time after time again, yet the Republican fucknuts still keep touting it because it translates to tax cuts for the rich, which is really what they are all about.
