Job Creation: A Means To An End For The GOP
The GOP likes to talk the talk about jobs and their god like “job creators.” But, actions speak louder than words. Despite promising during the 2010 campaign that jobs would be their first priority, the GOP has focused on circumventing Roe v. Wade, and pushing tax breaks for the wealthiest of the wealthy.
The latter, they say, will encourage job creation. However, the Bush tax cuts have proved repeatedly that the only thing the Bush tax cuts have created is welfare for the richest of the rich. Despite all the handouts, the so called “job creators” received, they did nothing to create jobs. In short, there is no data to support the premise that tax cuts for the 1% creates jobs.
Our history has shown that startups and small business create way more jobs than companies like Bain, or any older large corporation. Moreover, there is a nexus between job creation and a vibrant middle class.
There is nothing to support Romney’s theory about job creation. We saw it under George W. Bush and the result was an economic meltdown from which we have yet to recover. The very idea of trying to resurrect those proposals is not only detrimental to our economy; it is offensive to American voters. I say offensive because it is akin to saying: “There’s a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you.”
Republicans nixed anything that would help create jobs, in the name of making Obama a one-term president. Keeping the unemployment number high by sabotaging the economy and blocking anything that will either preserve or create jobs is all in the name of having a Romney coronation in a few months.
Moreover, we know about Romney’s record when it comes to jobs in America. If he knows how to create jobs, as he has claimed on the campaign trail, it sure wasn’t during his days at Bain. He did hone his skills at the outsourcer in chief, but not as a so called “job creator” in America.
In many respects, this seems counterproductive. Why would the GOP kill jobs and block job creation proposals? Aside from the obvious axiom that a poor economy is bad for incumbent presidents, Lipstick Liberal’s character Mob Wife has a plausible explanation.
Aside from the prospect of winning the White House, the GOP has to answer to its puppet masters aka the so called “job creators.” Sure, they will create jobs after the minimum wage is a fact of history, safety standards are eliminated and they can exploit child labor. This is not about creating a better America. It is all about creating a better profit margin for the so called “job creators” that pull the GOP’s strings, as Mob Wife explains here.

Well, Mob Wife may have said it a bit crudely, but the reality is the GOP is behaving crudely when it comes to job creation.
They don’t care about the people who do the work. Jobs are nothing but a means to a profitable end for the so called “job creators” that the GOP answers to.
In reality, the GOP’s effort to block jobs is about extorting support from Americans. The hope that people will just submit to GOP ideology if there’s a job at the end of the coal mine. Any job. Any pay, just something.
It’s crude, it’s rude and it’s inhumane!

REPUBLICANS HATE YOU IF YOU ARE NOT A RICH WHITE MALE. The Republicans do not care about job creation, and have blocked every single jobs bill that has tried to make it’s way through congress. What the Republicans want is the complete destruction/subjugation of the non-rich to give everything to the rich (wealth, power, rights, etc). If there is an option that helps the non-rich, the Republicans will automatically oppose it, and Mitt Romney is no different. Mitt Romeny via his influence with Bain Capitol single handedly liquidated/looted/destroyed many buisnesses, and directly caused millions in unemployment both by direct job loss, and the ripple effect through the job markets. I made a video about unemployment, and how we can fix it. It’s at my YouTube channel Zarrakan, and here’s the link:

Watch it, share it, and join the fight against those who want to kill all of us with destructive social policies.

You nailed it, GOTP wants us to worship their false “job creator” IDOL, which is just made up BS to benefit the 1% & their self-serving interests. Logic dictates the 1% are using this “job creator” talking point as a way to stroke their egos at our expense, so we should worhip them as GODS aka “job creators,” that will favor us w/jobs. Right.
Wealthy venture capitalist, Nick Anhauer cares about the economy & outed the plutorat lie. Anhauer admitted that the true job creators are astrong middle class spending & creating demand, thus jobs arecreatedtoo.
It’s moral fraud because the true job creators are customers spending money, mainly a strong middle class spending money creates jobs.
Middle class=job creator.

I would love to get my hands on a copy of the Frank Luntz pamphlet that was passed around the GOP when he came up with sayings to be used by republicans like “job creators” or “hard working Americans” and other dogwhistle racist sayings so I could send it to PoliticusUSA, so they could publish it and break it down for the tin foilers.

The RePUBIC-Clowns keep trying to convince us that those infamous one-percenters need all these Bush tax-cuts so they can produce jobs. Perhaps Mr. Bendyboots Romney could tell the nation how many jobs he created during the time he has been the beneficiary of those lower tax rates.

Counting all the potential jobs not created because of repub. obstruction, I can count at least 4 million. About 700K lost in public sector at local levels which could have been prevented by more funding to states for their first responders and teachers, 2million with American jobs act from last summer, tax cut for over 600K small businesses which is about 1 million, and if they don’t extend tax credits for the wind industry, about 1 million. Unemployment with all these in place instead of obstructed would be around 5% or less. Obama should bring these things up in his campaign. He’s not whining, just telling the truth. Remember much of the employment numbers under the Reagan, Bush I and II kept unemployment lower at the time. Reagan even increased the number of govt jobs. Come to think of it, so did both Bush’s.
