Democrat’s Say The Dumbest Things

Uneployment lineThe current Democrat class war is like punishing the advantage of literacy to pay for the economic misfortunes of people who refuse to learn how to read or simply do not read well.  People whose only fault is having succeeded are somehow responsible for people who have not.  And the Professional Left (and their amateur useful idiots)  will go to any length to make the point, reinforcing the popular right wing adage, "Democrat’s do say the dumbest things."

Take Merrimack’s political village idiot, Fred Morse.  In this mornings Sunday News Morse, who carries the lefts water in the print news at every available opportunity, made the following statement.

If there were any verifiable data that the richest were actually job creators in any substantial sense, that would be the lead story of FOX News every single night of the year.  So when someone says that the idle rich are job creators, they are either misinformed or attempting to mislead the public.

I’m not sure if FOX actually uses the words ‘Rich people create jobs’ (I don’t typically watch any television news) but I’m reasonably sure they talk about business, finance, markets, capitalism, investments, and all their productive and beneficial side effects.  These are the mechanism for creating wealth and for creating jobs.  So not only are they (FOX) talking about it, the very existence of jobs proves the point; that investment of time and money by free people creates jobs and that by extension people who chose to create jobs by starting a business can become wealthy.

This probably does not count in the worldview of the class warfare left because they would like you to believe strongly, as Mr. Morse does, that this is not how jobs are created.  That the ‘idle rich’ sit at home atop their fortune like mythical dragons–slaying and consuming anyone who tries to access their wealth.  But that is hardly the case.  Even the idle rich, Hollywood Liberals come to mind,  invest their money in business and industry.  They buy stocks and bonds, invest privately in funds and opportunities, even start or own businesses of their own.  That investment is used to create the value and opportunity which makes public companies viable; that produce innovations, scientific and technological advancement that makes all our lives better, and the wealth by which people are employed in the practice of pursuing the goals of the investments themselves, hopefully rewarding investors for their risk.

Without "the rich" or people willing to risk their own property, there are no jobs.

But Mr. Morse and the left would have you believe that jobs spring from government like Eve from the rib of Adam.  They do not want to admit that ‘government’ is itself a luxury item that must be paid for like anything else’ by the product of private sector risk taking.  Good government cannot exist without the conscience of better men giving a portion of their property for some guarantee of stability and a promise to protect their property in exchange.

So there is no need to repeat daily that which should be obvious.  Not only do the rich create jobs, they also make government possible.  To turn around and use government to deny them of the promise of stability and the protection of all private property, and then systematically deprive them of that property, is the work of tyrants and dictators.  It is how you progress toward socialism, the ownership of nothing with no rights to anything but the shared misery and suffering that comes with it.
