Reid: "Millionaire Job Creators Are Like Unicorns" Because They "Don't Exist"

Reid: "The Republicans say the richest of the rich in our country, even those who make millions every year, shouldn’t contribute more to get our economy back on track. They call our plan, time after time, a tax on job creators, and I say so-called “job creators.” Because I say that, Mr. President, every shred of evidence contradicts this red herring. For example, there have been many outlets, but I’ll concentrate on one. National Public Radio went looking for one of these fictitious millionaire job creators. A reporter reached out to the business groups and a tax lobby in the Republican Congress hoping to interview one of these millionaires. Days ticked by with no luck. Many of our job creators are like unicorns, they're impossible to find and don't exist. That’s because only a tiny fraction of people making more than a million dollars, probably less than one percent

I believe peyote grows in his part of the country so that might have something to do with it.

How about a search for marxist job killers here in the US?

(hint: concentrate the search in DC and State Capitals)

Reid should know, all the fellow Millionaires he hangs with in the Democratic party have never created a single job. Unless of course you count prison guard jobs for all the new “criminal class” created by their reams of new laws regulating everyone.

Yeah, only homeless people and impoverished psychotics create jobs.

Millionaires like Steve Jobs never create a single job.

The owner of my company.....the one who built the business from the ground up and keeps 200-odd people employed.... Would be interested in knowing that he doesn’t exist.

He’s a whining joke of a miscreant. Corrupt and almost completely stupid.

We could do worse: Schumer.

LOL

NPR; the Taxpayer-funded propoganda outlet for the DNC, and they are gonna do a hit-piece on the "rich bastards"? Gimme a break.

Reid is a steamin' pile, and NO WELFARE PARASITE ever created a job, nor held one, but that's who keeps a-holes like Reid employed.

Only those with FUNDING can create business and jobs, and it's ludicrous, on its face, to think taking their money will "create jobs", but that's the bill o' goods that Progressives are peddling.

For Harry Reid, being dumb as dirt is a full-time job.

Let's see, was Steve Jobs rich? Did he create American jobs?
Is Donald Trump rich? Does he create American jobs?

Republicans should pick up on this state that yes, some rich guys - like Barak Obama and Harry Reid, don't create American jobs.

Schumer may or may not be worse, but give Schumer this much: He holds himself out as HEY, I’M LIBERAL. Reid? Reid lies that he is a moderate/ conservative, a good Mormon boy. What a truckload of fertilizer THAT is. At least Schumer is “liberal as advertised.”

Simple, Nevada is a Mafia controled state. And their voting process is rather like the Chichago Mafia voting process that got Obama in office. The "little people" vote never quite match's the outcome.

Reid is the devil, claims a Mormon. Wouldn't miss him a bit if lightening strikes. I can honestly say I hate him with a passion.

Schumer is so damn nasty and obnoxious. I’d hate to have to listen to him rant. Our side never picks a fighter. Pitiful.
