      Hello Richard,               LL>> According to perennial loser Mitt Romney, what this country needs        LL>> are more Job Creators. Jobs Creators such as himself.        LL>> Unfortunately, American voters are not very good at math, preferring        LL>> to listen to a motivational speaker rather than doing their        LL>> homework...              RW>YEah right, lessee, Bain Capital did a leveraged buyout of       RW>American Pad in Indiana, lots of people lost their jobs.              Oh, come now. Don't be so hard on the guy. I mean, he did create       lots of jobs in China, Indonesia, Mongolia ...              RW>Hmmm, KB toy was a thriving popular destination at many       RW>shopping malls across the country. IT went Toes up under       RW>the guidance of MItt Romney.              Making toys is what Asians do best.       Buying toys is what Americans do best.       Paying for toys is what Obama does best.              RW>MItt Romney held up the feds for a pretty massive bailout       RW>back about a decade ago.              And who bailed out Wall Street?              RW>Yep, job creators, maybe for minimum wage drones, or more       RW>like they created an opportunity to do a job on the       RW>taxpayers.              Bob K. hates for me to bring this up, but in many cases folks are       much better off not working at all. By working, those very same folks       deny themselves government benefits they would otherwise be entitled       to. I call them "the working poor." They earn too much to qualify       for govermnet benefits, but do not earn enough to pay for those same       things on the open market (food, rent, health care, prescription       drugs, etc.).              RW>You see it went loike this:              RW>Romney and his cronies said this company they were heavily       RW>involved in would pay out a bunch of bonuses, and screw the       RW>lenders as they sucked it dry unless they got some major       RW>concessions from the feds.              RW>Yeah that's job creation.              Yes. It is. That much is undeniably true. However, what is       left out of the equation is who benefits. Those who invested in       the company benefit. By "those who invested" I am referring to       the owners of the company. Not necessarily those who worked for       the company. After all, employees are dispensable. At least       in Romneyworld.              RW>I get real tired of listening to these people piss moan and       RW>whine about some guy getting food stamps when they look the       RW>other way at billions of largess bestowed upon crooks on       RW>Wall Street.              Lots of everyday folks invest in Wall Street. Most of them       indirectly, and not with a lot a cash to worry about. So please.       Do realize not everyone is a crook. :)              RW>As for the great occupy movement, it was anotehr bad joke.              The occupy wall street movement has transformed itself into being       the occupy sandy movement.              --Lee              --- MesNews/1.06.00.00-gb        * Origin: news://felten.yi.org (2:203/2)    |
