Hello Bob,   
      
    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   
    LL>> motivational speaker rather than doing their homework...   
      
    JM>> When was the last time you heard of a poor person creating   
    JM>> jobs?   
      
   BK>It does happen, esp when they start out in a hole in the wall   
   BK>and build up. However, it's more often the near poor to the   
   BK>middle class. Not often the rich.   
      
   No more Twinkies due to Hostess going bankrupt and shutting down.   
   Conservatives will undoubtedly blame labor as being the cause, citing   
   the workers going on strike.  However, what conservatives fail to   
   tell you (or realize) is that even had their been no strike Hostess   
   still would have gone bankrupt and shut down.  The simple fact of   
   the matter is people are not buying or eating Twinkies any more.   
      
   BK>A few years back a study of the Fortune 500 was published. If   
   BK>found the entire Fortune 500 had not created a net gain of one   
   BK>single job in a decade or more.   
      
   That statement is misleading, as jobs are in many instances created   
   elsewhere (outside of the USA).   
      
   BK>Not in this country anyway. They weren't concerned about China.   
      
   And some companies, such as Hostess, are down for the count.   
   About the only place left where you'll find Twinkies are on eBay.   
   And then only if you hurry.
