Despite the narrative that is perpetuated by the right, taxing the rich less does not create more jobs. So much for that myth, but they will still cling to it.

How about your taxes going up? Why do you want others to pay for the things you want?

The real job creators are the middle class who buy products or services. Without a need for such, there are no jobs. Extend the tax cut to the middle class! We are the true job creators!

Higher taxes on the rich does not lead to job growth.

Actually, it just might work! These "job creators" would have to get off their asses to make more money by expanding their business rather than just banking their fat paycheck.

You think? You are correct also in that it is the middle class that create most jobs.

No, actually they say F it, fire tons of people and retire.

Or instead of working 89-100 hours a week they rid themselves of all but one or two employees and make far less money to just pay basic expenses.

Let them. There are plenty of small businesses waiting, hoping, and trying to break into the market but have been snuffed out by huge corporations that compete with them. Small business owners are the real job creators in America.

Take the burden of healthcare costs away with a Universal Health Care and also watch small businesses flourish!

BTW, "basic expenses," corporate CEOs are used to, go way beyond what they can earn with just a couple employees.
