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

He requires unions and those on entitlements to elect him. He has no understanding of what makes anything go.

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

Well, I don’t know about you but the blame for the D controlled Senate has to be laid at the feet of Rove and the R Establishment.

Confucius say
“If you run naked, around a tree, at a speed of 185,999 miles per second there is a distinct possibility of f’n yourself.
Or you can just vote for Obama and get the same effect”.

Well either Confucius or Einstein - I realize they aren’t alive but if they were they would say it PLUS Will Rogers..

Would be interested in knowing that he doesn’t exist.

Fergoshsakesdon'ttellhim. Last thing you need is for him to disappear or fade away.

Every man that ever gave me a job was a millionaire. On paper. Some years they didn't do so well. Some years they did.

Reid is a bona fide, abosolute, warranteed, guar-on-teed, drat-blasted city slicker, congress-cretin that would improve the world by just leaving.

Virii get stupid when they infect Harry Reid. Bacteria shun him. Rats, rattlesnakes and sharks give him professional courtesy. Whores cover up, and thieves put their hands on their wallets.

Women faint and children scream at the mere sight of him.

But other than that, he's pretty normal for Washington, DC.

Here's one of those rich bastards now. When did he ever create any jobs?

"As of September 2010, Apple had 46,600 full time employees and 2,800 temporary full time employees worldwide."

Nope, Steve Forbes, Bill Gates, they don't exist and never created a job.

Jon Huntsman's father, another millionaire, he never created a job either.

How about the guys who created Fedex? Those packages must be carried to their destinations by unicorns (or bands of Santa's elves).

Schumer is so damn nasty and obnoxious.

Lets us not be hasty, but dwell upon the topic and get to the point.

Schumer has perfected the art of obnoxiousness to the point that only sewer rats can stand him, because they think he might be able to earmark them a deal.

He's so vile that the Grinch that Stole Chrismas got a warning from HR for failure to be vile, when compared to him.

He's so stupid that when he went to visit MIT, the particle accelerator shut down and the general IQ of the establishment fell, because of the strength of his stupidity field.

He knows as much about guns, the internet, and miltary as you can chisel onto the head of a pin with an axe.

In short, Charles is a moron, and ugly.

Reid is the Senator from Las Vegas. Sin City and Reno dominate NV politics because of their many unions and liberal transplants from CA. The rest of the state, while mostly conservative, is so sparsely populated it can't overcome the Democrat bias of the 2 cities.

Reid is a self important little loser (didn't he once call President Bush a loser - in front of school children?) Something I would love to see is a single commercial with him signing the poisonous letter to the syndicators of the Rush Limbaugh show, all but threatening to have the FCC revoke the licenses of stations that air the show. Reid, having watched too many mob movies, believed that Rush would knuckle under to his blackmail. Instead, Rush went public with it, and had all 40 something dems who signed it running for cover. Not only did he go public with it, he framed the letter, then put it up for auction on eBay, promising that the funds raised would go to a worthy charity. To sweeten the pot, he matched the millions donated.

And now, the best part... Reid, the ultimate weasel, had the gall to try to take some credit for the charitable contribution. Rush really went to town on that one!

To put it bluntly Reid is a consummate lowlife, weasel scumbag. You can tell he was brought up wanting to be a "wise guy" and saw how it was done, but never quite got the hang of it. But his political position still allows him to strong arm his opponent. But everyone knows he's the unions' little bitch.

Wait a minute, it’s Biden’s job to act so stupid that dumber-than-a-rock Obama looks smart.

Hmmm... Is Reid preparing a challenge for the VP slot in 2012?

Well, I guess NPR knows who butters their bread... Funny, if they would have just watched "Stossel" on Fox Business last week, they would have found at least a half a dozen, and between them, more than a quarter of a million jobs were created.

So these non-existant job creators created more than 250,000 to reduce the unemployment rate. Obama's regime reduces the unemployment rate by removing more than 300,000 unemployed people from their statistics... So I guess Reid is right... The government is far more efficient at reducing unemployment that the job creators. As opposed to working hard for years, all it takes is a stroke of a pen.
