Sensata Asks Romney If Transferring Wealth to the 2% Creates Jobs, Where are They?
A Sensata worker has a question for Mitt Romney, ‘If transferring wealth to the top two percent creates jobs, wouldn’t we be swimming in jobs?’
Here is the video from MSNBC:

In a night full of powerful segments, perhaps the most powerful came at the end when Sensata workers themselves were asked by Ed Schultz what they would say to Mitt Romney if they were asked. The first worker asked a question that every voter who is thinking about voting Republican should ask him/herself. The Sensata worker wanted to ask Romney, “If transferring wealth to the top two percent creates jobs, wouldn’t we be swimming in jobs?”
Other Sensata workers called Romney the Devil’s twin brother, urged him to save their jobs, and told him to just be honest. Voters should consider the story of Sensata a big screaming siren trying to warn them about what they can expect from a potential Romney presidency. Mitt Romney has always been about making money. Romney’s entire career has put profit over the middle class.
Ed Schultz’s broadcast from Freeport, IL was a rare hour of cable news television devoted to the impact of outsourcing, but the key question that Republicans have never been able to answer remains if tax cuts for the wealthy create jobs, where are the jobs?
Romney has tried to dodge this question by claiming that his tax plan does not cut taxes for the wealthy, but his lie is laughable, and is now being openly mocked by President Obama as Romnesia.
Republicans like Mitt Romney keep coming to voters and telling them that just like Linus waiting for The Great Pumpkin, if we all truly believe that the jobs will come after we cut taxes for the rich, they will rise up out of the pumpkin patch of employment, and bless us with tens of millions of new jobs.
The reality is that the jobs didn’t come when the George W. Bush cut taxes for the wealthy. They still didn’t come when Obama was ransomed into extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, and we’ll still be waiting for them if Romney wins, and signs off on an even larger tax cut for the rich.
Sensata is a warning to every working person in this country. Don’t listen to Romney’s words, look at his deeds, and echo that Sensata worker’s question to Mitt Romney. If cutting taxes for the “job creators” creates jobs, where are they?

That’s a damn good question.
Another good one is this:
Whenever the monthly unemployment figures come out, and the rightwingnuts scream about how long the UE rate has been at an “unacceptable” 8% (which they continued to do even after the rate dropped to 7.8%), why don’t they EVER hold the top 2% (aka the “job creators”) responsible?

I wish PO would pose that question to Mitt Romney. Bush’s tax cuts which benefited the rich did not create one job in the US. PO should ask Romney for proof that tax cuts create jobs which history has shown to be a lie.
Even Trump back then before he lost his marbles, didn’t approve of it and claimed he will go out and buy a $800 bar of soap or something to that effect. The R’thugs have no new ideas and are obviously too lazy to sit down and engage their brain cells so they spew the same failed policies of trickle down of the Reagan era.

Willard Mitt Romney…
U R a real piece of work…
So dam greedy that you can’t even postpone shutting down this factory and shipping these jobs to China until after the elections…
Same reason you can’t release your tax returns for 10 years like your Daddy said one should do…
because you are so consumed with greed that it was impossible for you stop it for a few years and allow for your people to clean up your returns and have a few years worth that could be presented to the American people.
I don’t give a shit if you are worth 100 Billion…
You are one Bankrupt little man Willard and all the money and power in the world will never change that.

Bain has proven by the way they’ve treated the Sensata workers that they are job cremators instead job creators. I watched the Ed Show myself, and I was absolutely sickened at the demeaning treatment the workers have received, such as being forced to train their replacements and having the police called on them when they tried to plead for their jobs. Willard Romney is the epitome of the moral bankruptcy that is at the root of the greed which prompts Bain to hire grossly underpaid Chinese workers to increase their profit margin. This is a microcosm of what to expect from a Romney administration, because he is a ruthless, uncaring robot who cares only about making money. For him and his ilk, there is never enough.

Terrific show last night by Ed, it should be repeated again and again so that more people see who is causing job losses in this country (and blaming the president). I read this morning that the Bain people at Sensata closed the plant on Friday because they were afraid of the cameras that Ed bought there.

With Sensata, Mitt Romney clearly shows at which point people no longer matter to him. The era of “greed is good” needs to end. My heart breaks for each and every one of theses workers, and all the others in this country whose jobs have been outsourced to slave labor camps overseas. What a disgrace for Romney, and this country. And shame on the Republicans in congress who voted down the presidents bill to end tax cuts for outsourcing, and give tax credits to companies who bring jobs back. They are all bought and paid for by the greedy bastards that want to turn America into China. I am officially sick to my stomach over this crap.

They also refused to pass a bill calling for JOBS to be returned to the USA, even offering a financial bonus. GOP GET OUR PROFITS

What an amazing show and thanks to Ed Schultz for having the courage to take this public.
Now ask why our beltway journalists, Chuck Todd, David Gregory, nightly news anchors, refuse to report ANY news to the American people that shows the deviousness of Romney and his plans?
You won’t see the Sensata diabolical loss of jobs hit mainstream channels.
These anchors are not journalists – they’re spinners that hold control of what reaches the American people.
They are perpetrating an enormous disservice in this election and all should be replaced. Surely there are journalists out there who care about reporting the news – good, bad and ugly.
They had no reluctance hashing and rehashing Bengazhi attacks.

Top2%
own 50% financial wealth
Get 30% individual income
Include incomes in millions-4000-3000-2000-1000-500-100
They need a tax cut. Crazy.
Many pay 1% or less payroll tax.
Many pay 0.
