Poll question: What percent of the 1% are job creators?
I actually don't know, but my guess is 1% of the 1% or less.

Tax 'em all.

2. Better question now is what % are labour exploiters
Edited on Fri Nov-11-11 04:48 PM by Rambis
some day they might run out of cheap labour but there are always prisoners so I would not hold my breath.

3. The "1%" are, by their very nature, parasites.
They aren't even capitalists.

4. True job creaters
Are those in whose absense there is no product. No product - no jobs.

6. It's faith-based Jobs Creationism
Edited on Fri Nov-11-11 05:18 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere
The Corporation is Holy. All grace trickles down from the Corporation.

The Lord Corporatist formed the man’s job and breathed life into it. The Lord Corporatist then planted a garden in the east which became the first Corporation, the Garden of Eden and there he put the man whose job was to work it and take care of it. And then the Lord Corporatist that night took a rib from the man and made a woman’s job.

7. Jobs cannot be created unless someone is buying
If the middle class is not buying products or services, no additional jobs will ever be created.

Therefore, the real job creators are the consumers (middle class).

9. Isn't it amazing that the "1 % are the job creators" ...
but if you listen to their "life stories", "none" of them appear to have come from wealthy backgrounds? Or so they claim ...
