Job Creators.

       Just who is it that are job creators? I know you've heard its the rich that create jobs. I'll bet you've also heard its the corporations that create jobs. But I'll bet you've never heard that its the middle class and poor that create jobs, have you. But actually that's who create jobs. The rich don't, they just pocket added profits. The same with corporations. They turn it over to shareholders or just hold on to the profits.
       Now why would I say that the middle class and poor are the job creators? It's because demand for products and services are the driver that forces corporations to modernize and ad jobs. So who creates demand? Well it's not the corporations and it's not the rich, except in small quantities and if the corporations had to depend entirely on the rich, they'd go broke. But the poor and middle class are the big buyers, the job creators.
       So if the middle class and poor are the job creators, how come all the profits go to the rich? There's no good reason except that they've convinced too many people that they are indeed the job creators. No! No they aren't. You are. So it's time to increase the minimum wage so that a person can actually live on it without food stamps and the like. Raise the taxes on the corporations and the rich. If they don't want to pay those high taxes let them invest in higher wages for their employees and modernize. If wages went up for everyone, demand would increase by leaps and bounds and profits would soar. Everyone would make more including the rich.
