Hillary: 'Don't Let Anybody Tell You' That 'Businesses Create Jobs'

Appearing at a Boston rally for Democrat gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley on Friday, Hillary Clinton told the crowd gathered at the Park Plaza Hotel not to listen to anybody who says that “businesses create jobs.”

“Don’t let anybody tell you it’s corporations and businesses create jobs,” Clinton said.

“You know that old theory, ‘trickle-down economics,’” she continued. “That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly.”

“You know, one of the things my husband says when people say ‘Well, what did you bring to Washington,’ he said, ‘Well, I brought arithmetic,’” Clinton said, which elicited loud laughs from the crowd.

“You know, one of the things my husband says when people say ‘Well, what did you bring to Washington,’ he said, ‘Well, I brought arithmetic'"

And Obama managed to even ruin that with his stupid indecipherable common core standards.

Yes, government bureaucrats in back rooms created all the jobs in industry. Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan and the rest....minor players compared to some gov. hirees. Just like Al Gore created the internet, all sorts of gov. people are responsible for the wealth of the country. You know, Obama’s stash and all that.

All forms of government create “jobs”. The difference lies with those that fear God and those who gnash their teeth at Him.

What does that even mean, that bill Clinton brought arithmetic to Washington? Why did the audience laugh? How is that a laugh line?,,,,

She's implying that all of the incumbent government types just couldn't handle all of the hard stuff because they were no good at math, or didn't use it at all, and she had to rescue all of them and us with her no-nonsense pragmatic mathematical wizardy. Kind of like: my husband couldn't balance the checkbook, so I had to take over and use math."

As a side note, I had to stop twice while typing this in order to vomit in a bucket.

For the Clintons, when you want a job created, you pressure your friends and business partners to put one of your family members on the payroll. They don’t have to show up to do the work, but you have to give them a monthly salary. Another way the Clintons create jobs is to get your political flunkies to act as a go-between to offer your girlfriend a government job so she’ll keep her mouth shut.

What creates jobs, Hillary? Not a business that gets too big for one fella to do it all himself? Then What??? “Government?” That is only with other people’s money. Government created jobs are self serving and often quite redundant. Look what we pay the CDC director. My first three neighbors could do a better job.

That is hilarious... And so true.

When they tax a million small business owners in order to use a thousandth of that money to create “jobs” for twenty of their privileged friends who receive generous government grants,

THEY CREATE JOBS!

Clinton’s arithmetic: SS income- SS payments= money to spend!

People say how good the economy was in “the Clinton years”... and what an awful problem SS is today. I can only laugh.

Don’t Let Anybody Tell You That Businesses Create Jobs when everyone knows only the Politburo can create jobs.

Without the jobs created by business and industry, there would be no government jobs, as there would be no economic activity or profits to tax.

Government is just a support system so business can exist. Except lately, government has lost their way and think everything revolves around government.

Cut government regulations and meddling with business, and watch the job market explode, or keep squeezing and choking American business and watch it wither away as it has been doing under the progressives and Marxists.

The sad part is that the FSA half of the electorate believes her.

Comrade Hillary is doing well and she is going to be elected by the other comrades in the electorate who are citizens of the world and ready to embrace her and her husband as their beloved, fearless leaders. /s/

IMHO

In that case corporations and businesses should be outlawed. Don't be a coward, Hillary, have the courage of your convictions and say it.

Wait a sec...

Doesn't that convert Fabianism to Fascism?

The real definition, not the morons' one.
