Hello John,

    LL>> According to perennial loser Mitt Romney, what this country needs are   
    LL>> more Job Creators.  Jobs Creators such as himself.  Unfortunately,   
    LL>> American voters are not very good at math, preferring to listen to a

   JM>When was the last time you heard of a poor person creating jobs?   
      
   Each and every morning.  All across America.  When I walk outside   
   in the morning, I pick up the newspaper.  I bring it inside, and I   
   open it up.  And inside the newspaper I notice lots of advertisement   
   inserts.  Especially on Sundays, as the newspaper seems to be loaded   
   with such advertisement inserts.   
      
   Somebody had to put those advertisement inserts in the newspapers.   
   And it is those advertisements that pay for the salaries of   
   everybody who works for the newspaper, including those who insert   
   the advertisements.   
      
   Businessmen are in business in order to make a profit.  Not only   
   do they have to pay the salaries of the employees, but they also   
   have lots of other expenses.  As a businessman, you are well aware   
   of this, and need no lecture on the subject.   
      
   Before a newspaper can be distributed, the ads must be inserted.   
   As such, those employees who work in the mailroom are the most   
   important employees of a newspaper, as without them there would   
   be no newspaper.  And hence no other jobs for anyone else.   
      
   It does not make a damn bit of difference who a mailroom employee   
   votes for or intends to vote for.  The job needs to be done, and   
   the owner(s) of the newspaper know it.   
      
   These mailroom employees are the real job creators of a newspaper.   
   Rarely seen, seldom given the credit they deserve, and lowly paid.   
      
   I asked the participants in the forum a question long ago.   
   What is capital?  The answer is frozen labor.  Throwing the   
   ice out will never generate a profit for any businessman.   
   What that busnessman needs to do is unfreeze that labor.   
   How to do that?  By offering higher wages and better benefits.   
   Doing so will help retain a strong workforce, and allow for   
   the company to make bigger profits (more newspapers sold and   
   delivered leads to more advertising $$$, resulting in more   
   $$$ for owners).   
      
   Trickle up, trickle up, trickle up up up ...
