re: This is why business owners/entrepreneurs do not like democrats very much

So resident liberals/progressives/democrats. Do you always think in such simple minded terms? Hillary and Obama have now stated the core belief of the left, that businesses and corporations do not create jobs.

The belief is that either the government or the consumer creates jobs. But neither can exist without businesses.

Business operate on a profit. In order to make a profit they must create and sell a product. And for that to happen, they must hire employees to run the day to day operations and create said product. In turn the consumer must have money. The only way consumers have money is by working jobs and earning money. Ergo, businesses create jobs that supplies the worker with money.

Then there is the idiot government argument. That only government creates jobs. Well, the jobs "created" by government are paid for by taxpayer money. Taxes come from individuals that earn money. Ergo, taxpayers employed by businesses earn money from the business and are then taxed by the government.

Now i'm sure an idiot will say, "government workers pay taxes too". Which is true. But the money being taxed by the government is supplied by private industry taxpayers. So a government worker being taxed by the government does not contribute a net positive. That government job is simply a place holder job and contributes nothing to the GDP of the country since all of that government employees pay is coming directly from taxpayers.

I'm sure the idiots on the left know this, but refuse to discuss anything deeper than the meme's fed to them by their government slave masters. But then again, liberalism is a mental disease.
