... so we should elect job creators to create to create them.

Seems like there are a lot of job creators running for jobs in a government that doesn't create jobs so they can create the jobs that the government can't create instead of staying in the public sector where they could actually create the jobs that government can't.

If that doesn't make any sense, welcome to the club.


Oh what a wonderful world...

Aren't customers job creators. Without customers a business would go out of business, and most customers are middle class.

The true job creators are the middle class, you know, the lazy class that drinks and smokes too much, that's why they are not rich

Is it your argument that without demand, producing a supply is pointless?

What a novel idea!

But I suppose my question is, if all of these successful job creators want a job in a government that doesn't create jobs in the first place, shouldn't they be out creating jobs instead of looking for a job that doesn't create them?

I don't ever remember a demand for pet rocks before somebody started producing and advertising them.

... as opposed to letting someone with not only zero job creating experience, but also zero military experience, and zero love for the America run the country.

We see how that's working out.

Well it seems to be working out just fine for about half the inhabitants of this country.

Oh if life were so simple.
"In April 1975, Dahl was in a bar (which is now Beauregard Vineyards Tasting room in Bonny Doon) listening to his friends complain about their pets. This gave him the idea for the perfect "pet": a rock.[1] A rock would not need to be fed, walked, bathed, groomed and would not die, become sick, or be disobedient. He said they were to be the perfect pets, and joked about it with his friends.[2] However, he eventually took the idea seriously, and drafted an "instruction manual" for a pet rock. It was full of puns, gags and plays on words that referred to the rock as an actual pet. The original had no eyes."

Government doesn't create jobs but it can certainly get in the way of business doing it and make it much harder for the private sector to create jobs. Who do you think is going to be in a better position to form policy or stop legislation that will hurt job growth, someone who has no business experience or someone who does?
