It's not the wealthy that creates jobs, either. It's mom and pop. Enjoy.
We own our own small business, but can only have a few employees because we need jobs in order to keep our staff working. Mom and pop aren't usually the ones who run coal mines, restore the infrastructure or demolish useless and empty buildings.

Amateurs compared to Kennedy. Shall I go on? And as I noted - it's wrong for either party.
