I'm so sick of hearing the right-wing throw around the term "job creators" and act like the poor and workers should be grateful to the rich for allowing them to work demeaning low paying jobs with little hope for a better future. The fact is that the poor do not need the rich, but the rich need the poor. Capitalism could not exist without labor. Allow me to quote a famous Republican president on this issue: "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."

Another brilliant observation by a DUmmy.
Of course I don't know where he thinks the govt would get the money to cut those checks without the rich though, maybe 0bama's stash or they can just print more.

Interesting that they ignore the rancher that takes a portion of the proceeds from his business and invests in a local blacksmith, or restauraunt, or bakery because he intends to make money off of it.  The problem is that they don't have a clue what they are talking about.  Teddy Roosevelt would have considered these Dummies to be fools, they are taking him far out of context.
