...and here I thought she was a smart woman.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At a Democratic rally Friday in Massachusetts, Hillary Clinton’s attempt to attack “trickle-down economics,” resulted in a spectacularly odd statement, according to The Washington Free Beacon.

Clinton defended raising the minimum wage saying “Don’t let anybody tell you that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs, they always say that.”

She went on to state that businesses and corporations are not the job creators of America. “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” the former Secretary of State said.

That is why she shouldn't be elected. She is Obama II. She will say to be elected .I guess she think Greece who followed that plan was right. So many will sell their vote to highest bidder for empty promises now days.

If government could create jobs, it would. Back in 2009-2010, when the Democrats held the executive and legislative branches of government, why didn’t they simply snap their fingers or wave a wand or whatever the party of government does, and create all the jobs needed?

Government can’t create jobs. Jobs are created when capital seeks a return. ALL jobs, from McDonalds to Goldman Sachs, are created when a business owner hires a worker. What the government does is redistribute, a different thing.

Believing in Democrats' brand of economics is like believing in unicorns.

Government can’t create jobs. Jobs are created when capital seeks a return. Exactly ALL jobs, from McDonalds to Goldman Sachs are created when an owner hires a worker. What the government does is redistribute, a different thing.

^^^

Before the job was a thinker with an idea for a good or service who came up with a game plan. The good/service had to be marketed to the public so a demand existed. A physical company had to be assembled or built for said business to operate from and the good/service had to be fully fleshed out for public consumption.

All of this has to happen before jobs are created for those hired to fill them.

Given this....who creates the jobs?

Surely not the US federal government and certainly not Hillary Rodham Clinton.
What does Hillary truly know about business/jobs other than how to obsruct it? She is a liberal politician and that is her MO.
She wants to take from those she feels has too much and add it to the general fund. All politicians say funds are earmarked but all funds go into a general fund. Check with your county and state and see.

I see we are inching closer towards communism.

Just waiting for someone in power to actually say the word.

She's just out collecting votes from the mindless liberals. Nothing to see here....

In a way nobody actually creates jobs.

Supply, demand, need and other circumstances just are. It is likely that jobs existed before any of us were born. What changes is WHAT those jobs are.

If businesses create jobs, then all we have to do to eliminate unemployment is to create a bunch of businesses. I see a Nobel Prize in my future.
