   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.
