I assumed the people whose opinions I actually value already know about this. Have any thoughts? Or are you just going to be an obnoxious *** who doesn't add any content again?
Why don't you get a personal forum? That's the sensible thing to do. Or, you should probably just PM Stoked so you two can bitch together.
Since that statement is utterly nonsensical, I bet she meant tax cuts don't create jobs. I know it's appealing to think (for conservatives) that she's so clueless, she doesn't even know that people work for businesses. But I don't think that's very likely.
I've disagreed with Stoked plenty of times.
I was merely curious what people thought. Not sure why that has you so riled up. I don't know why you're so angry all the time, but I really am sorry. I hope you get it figured out someday.

Nice backpedal
You know you're here to bitch about "liberals".... don't complain about me trolling your thread if you're trolling for hi-fives.
So was Hillary taken out of context? Is she right? Is she wrong? Do I care? Cheese?
Don’t let anybody tell you that it's corporations and businesses that create jobs. You know that old theory, trickle-down economics. That has been tried; that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly," she said in Boston.
Oh give me a break.
The opposite notion, that businesses create jobs, is not entirely true. I'd say demand creates jobs, businesses facilitate the fulfillment of that demand by employing people who produce or serve that which meets the demand. No one thing can really exist without the other. As with most things a balance is required.
Businesses create jobs in order to fulfill market demand. I don't think "demand creates jobs" is a more meaningful statement since demand is an abstract concept, and not an actor that can perform action.
Sure. It's all about supply and demand. What I meant was that the statement 'businesses create jobs' is fair and objective. I don't disagree with anything you're saying.Alright. But without demand business fails. It may be an abstract concept but it obviously has a tangible effect.
In some cases businesses create their own demand, and what we as consumers demand is often shaped by our options. I certainly don't want to minimize the role of business in the scheme of things, but business doesn't exist for the sake of business, and jobs don't exist as some benevolent effort by business to employ people for the sake of employment.
