Although I've never been rich, I do admit to creating jobs in Okinawa, Mexico (Tijuana) and a couple more places I was stationed at. The jobs were temporary, sometimes not lasting more than an hour, but now I know how those young ladies felt.

What type of jobs have they created with they're bonus money??
There are only a handful of CEO's out there that get paid the mega millions. Your average CEO will get no where near the amount of money as some of these CEO's that are headlined in the news or those CEO's of businesses that trade on the NYSE.

Spending money, whether on consumer products or investments is what ultimately drives the economy.

Most rich people in the US are not job creators.

Those "job creators" have been slacking on creating jobs for nearly 10 years.

If more rich people spent their money like Charlie Sheen instead of sitting on it like the banksters, then they would be real job creators.

Do you have some stats to back that up? Look at all the leftist celebrity elite who travel with massive entourages to make themselves feel valued. It might be a degrading job to walk before a rich woman to spray perfume but it is still a job.

This has been my point! The Teabaggers and Faux are trying to shove that "job creator crap" down our collective throats! The majority of them (teabaggers) really do not have a clue between wage tax (which the majority of American pay) which is higher than capital gains tax which the wealthy get most of their money from. Wall St folks live off of money that they make from other's sweat and tears. These vultures do not create jobs they don't even use their own money! The few "job creators" that exist in this country provide jobs overseas anyway
