Hillary: 'Don't let anybody tell you' that businesses create jobs'

[Zimbow]

Appearing at a Boston rally for Democrat gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley on Friday, Hillary Clinton told the crowd gathered at the Park Plaza Hotel not to listen to anybody who says that “businesses create jobs.”

“Don’t let anybody tell you it’s corporations and businesses create jobs,” Clinton said.

“You know that old theory, ‘trickle-down economics,’” she continued. “That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly.”

“You know, one of the things my husband says when people say ‘Well, what did you bring to Washington,’ he said, ‘Well, I brought arithmetic,’” Clinton said, which elicited loud laughs from the crowd.

I really want to vomit the thought of voting in 2016. We will either be choosing from Hillary or whatever piece of garbage that the GOP puts out there.

I for one hopes that she steps up her insane rhetoric so even the biggest government couch potato comes to the conclusion that they cannot vote for her.

Insane rhetoric? She is speaking the truth. Corporations may do the hiring, but it is the consumers that create the need for the hiring. I look forward to welcoming her into the White House.

What in the world are you talking about? It is not the government that develops, builds and markets the product. Your point about the consumers creating the need has nothing to do with the government. People are going to need toilet paper whether or not the government tells them they need toilet paper. Companies do a whole lot more than "doing the hiring".

Do people really think like you?

What are YOU talking about?

It is not the government that develops, builds and markets the product.

Where did I say the government did?

Your point about the consumers creating the need has nothing to do with the government.

Where did I say it did?

People are going to need toilet paper whether or not the government tells them they need toilet paper.

That's a valid point. So what? Who stated otherwise?

Companies do a whole lot more than "doing the hiring".

Yes, they do. But they only hire based on need. That need is created by consumer demands not based on extra cash in the company.

Do people really think like you?

The valid question is: do people really think like you? Does everyone just make up what they think the other person has stated and then argue against it?

Try making a little sense if you want to debate.

Yeah, they are called people with non-government jobs. It is sad that they have to defend ourselves against the "isms" (socialism, communism, etc.) of progressive politics.

When you said that you agreed with Hillary's statement you were saying that government does not develop, build and market product. Pretty clear here, eh?

Yes, the toilet paper comment was a bonus wipe. It was tongue in cheek commentary about Hillary's comment and anybody who believes the same way.

Your statement that consumer demands were not created by extra cash in the company truly makes no sense. Since the beginning of time there was trade between people (businesses) and this happened with out Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton inspired governments making it happen. I would love to hear more of how you reached this conclusion because I honestly cannot understand this thinking.
