eric cantor calls the wealthy the 'job creators'

[spanone]

never refers to them as wealthy....just 'job creators'

he's whining about the bu$h* tax cuts expiring and hurting the 'job creators'

he's on the m$nbc show the daily rundown

[marmar]

1. They're like zombies programmed to utter a series of talking points.....

Completely incapable of an independent thought.

[spanone]

3. my question to cantor would be.....hey eric,

why didn't you refuse to sign on to the tax cuts unless they were permanent.....cause he knew this could be used as a political wedge.....raising taxes is what they call letting the taxes expire

[KharmaTrain]

2. Typical GOOP Claptrap...Voodoo Economics...

These brainstems live purely on talking points...ones that have been drummed into them all their lives. It's the concept of "trickle down"...or as Daddy boooosh properly named it..."Voodoo Economics".

The rich have convinced too many in this country that it is the corporates who create the jobs that generate the wealth, but they fail to forget that without a robust middle class...the workers...they lose the engine that generates their wealth and then the consumers who create the profits. Off shore all they like but without a strong domestic market and economy, their short term gains will end up in long term failure.

4. Eric Can'tor

Sarah Quit'or
The GOP Dont'or Wont'or.
They're all a party of lose'ors

[opihimoimoi]

8. Them asshole Pigs suck up the wealth disproportionately while having a NEGATIVE MODE

There are few signs of POSITIVITY in the GOPIG Party

The Dems seem to have a lock on doing good while them GOPers focus on doing good for themselves...

whad u doing home??? Go Fishing...take Willy

[Hubert Flottz]

14. Willy is laid back watching the squirrels chew the hide off my...

utility cables. I think he's on strike and I can't blame him. If you caught a fish here today he'd be fried before you reeled him up to the boat.

Anybody stupid enough to vote for a guy like Can'tor, deserves the shit bag they get.

[opihimoimoi]

22. Who the fuck votes for the dude??? you guys got that much crazies??? Damn...

what is it? about 95% F?

[Uben]

5. Makes sense to me.....

...but why haven't they been creating jobs instead of hoarding cash reserves? Oops! So, that makes Cantor another republican liar!

They talk the talk but refuse to walk the walk, typical republicans.

The way we save the middle class is to tax the rich into oblivion. As long as they act irresponsible with the wealth we allow them, and WE ARE the ones who allow it, we should start the increase in Taxes immediately. But, but, but, that is class war! If that's what they want to call it, so be it! I enjoy having money, but I would rather enjoy a strong middle class and the restoration of the American dream. Tax me!

The immediate implementation of a 50% tax rate for the uber rich would help ease waning government coffers, but even that is too little. The rate should be around 70%. We could give them incentives once they show an increase in domestic hiring (none of this foreign investment bullshit), but until such time, tax em, tax em, tax em! They will spend billions on lobbyist to keep their taxes low, but not a dime on domestic hiring.

18. I agree with every word; been saying it for years now.

Obviously, it makes too much sense for our government-for-hire to do this.

[Odin2005]

6. Go Galt, you fuckers!

[rocktivity]

7. The return of trickle down economics

The theory that wouldn't die.

It didn't make sense when Reagan said it, it doesn't make sense now.

9. Has the word 'wealthy' has become toxic?

Probably not, but I can still dream.

[ljm2002]

10. The obvious rejoinder...

...would be to ask where in the hell the "job creators" have been for the last 8 years, while the tax cuts were in full force and effect, seeing as how we have lost millions of jobs in that time span and are now in the worst job slump since the Great Depression.

[OHdem10]

11. Create jobs in China, Tehraan, Poland, Romania, Asia--you get

the picture --just not in the USA anymore.

[kenny blankenship]

12. It's their country -if you snuck in, you'll just have to be grateful for whatever they give you

Ever get the feeling that maybe we should just start over? Put these relationships--the so-called job creators vs. the hoi polloi-- on a whole different basis? It seems to me that the country and its laws and govt. should exist for and belong to the people living in it, not just the few with the most power or corporate entities that can have no ties to country because they are neither born nor die, but flit around the world like vampires.

The Social has to come first. Rights of property and capital rank a distant second, and exist conditionally on serving the interests of the larger society.

13. Cantor is a talking head rhetoric machine fueled by greed. n/t

[Donnachaidh]

15. considering how poor his state is -- he should STFU and help THEM,

not suck up to the wealthy who do NOTHING to help his constituents.

[closeupready]

19. 'not suck up to the wealthy'? My dear, Donna - don't you think that's what he's been paid to do?

:sarcasm:

[Donnachaidh]

21. yes dear - I know that.

But the weasel should be reminded DAILY that his constituents should come FIRST.

[chelsea0011]

16. Last I looked jobs were not created by Bush's tax cuts for wealthy

and by the time his term ended the recession had set in and jobs were disappearing. So why does the media allow them to continue saying the tax cuts create jobs?

[Lost4words]

17. I call them Horse Thieves!

[Urban Prairie]

20. Doesn't really matter to Cantor what the wealthy really are, job creators or not.

Some may be, most are not, but what the wealthy really do that does matter to him, is that they help him keep his job by contributing to his campaign war chest, and in return they expect him to vote and go stump for their interests. If he has to lie and spin the truth, so be it, as he doesn't really care about anyone but those who will help him to remain in office and continue to enjoy the perks and money that come with his job.

Being a Republican means that he can always blame "socialism" as being the root cause of everything that is wrong or goes wrong in the US, and will claim that tax cuts for the wealthy spur job creation, but the real job creators, with the exception of small businesses, are those being multi-national corporate capitalists, who don't pay much if any taxes, due to loopholes in the federal tax code. US workers cannot compete vs the global economy due to the much higher cost of living here, as well as the corporate costs of their long-term employment. So how will keeping the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy make any difference? It doesn't. But Cantor won't ever admit to that, since his corporate and wealthy benefactors will abandon him otherwise.

23. And right he is!

Just ask anyone in Bangalore. :eyes:
