Job Creators, Job Creators, Where are the Job Creators?
Dave Speck
Every time I turn around I hear another Republican politician explaining how the rich, who are sitting on three trillion dollars are the job creators and we need to give them more money.
Who are the job creators?
If it was the rich, we’d be in fat city right now because the so called job creators would have nothing but money to magically make more jobs.
If the businesses and the wealthy were the job creators, there would never have been the great Republican depression of the 20s. They had all the money and America, the real America, still starved to death.
Who Are the Job Creators
The businesses will only hire if there are customers needing something to buy. The best way to kill an economy is to stop people from buying. If people have money to spend, businesses will hire. The customers are the job creators.
The Customers are the Job Creators
Got that? The customers.
If a business is doing well, it can stream line and increase their profits. When the streamline, they lay off people. Who is the job creator? The business is the job killer. The bigger the business, the more streamlined it is and the bigger job killers they are.
Bringing in more customers will mean they have to hire more people, even if they’ve streamlined the business. The customers are the job creators.
When a billionaire buys a company and moves it over to China to cut costs, the billionaire is the job killer. It’s not the customers, it’s not the regulations, it’s not the taxes, it’s the greedy billionaires who are the job killers.
So, who are the Job Creators?
You got it. The customer. Give the people a union and a reliable income and our economy will flourish. If we give more money to the so called Job Creators that the Republicans tell us about, we will lose more and more jobs.

The Ponzi Scheme of Commons Exploitation
Sunday, November 6th, 2011The Ponzi Scheme of Commons Exploitation
by
David Schlecht
We’ve posted before regarding the need to protect our commons and the damage caused by allowing the greedy to exploit our commons for profit.
I’m glad to see that others are beginning to recognize the unavoidable destruction that comes from the greedy exploitation of our commons.
This is such an important issue that it has to be addressed immediately.
We are allowing some to get rich by mining our minerals, and drilling our oil. I say “our” because everything in the ground belongs to all humans, all of us. Anything and everything we take from the Earth is limited. Sooner or later everything will run out unless we make rules, right now, today, to prevent the extraction of anything that is not replaced at the expense of those benefiting from the taking.
But, stop. Think about this a minute. Aren’t you and I benefiting from having cars to drive and oil and gas to burn to keep us moving and keep our heaters and air conditioners and air filters working? I’m guessing we will all say, yes, we are all benefiting from exploiting our finite resources.
What happens to our kids and grand kids when we’ve used up all those resources? Haven’t we effectively stolen the resources from future generations?
It’s time we started realizing that this Ponzi scheme will only last so long before it will all come crashing down. What will happen to our economy when all the oil is gone? It will be the biggest economic crash we’ve ever seen and it will last the rest of time.
What happens when we’ve used the last of the rare earth minerals that make our technology run? No new computers, no new pace makers, no new technology. What do you think that will do to our economy?
Sure, there’ll be a whole new industry of little Chinese slave labor hands stripping the guts out of our old technology trying to scrounge up enough to make a new computer. What will that do to our computer industry? What will that do to our entire technology industry? It’ll be a disaster like we’ve never seen before.
Sure, we might not run out of oil today and we might have enough rare earth minerals to last a few more years, but sooner or later it will all be gone. We have to start conserving today. We need to start finding alternatives to our limited resources. We need to stop the greedy from exploiting our commons for money. When it runs out, it will be you and me that suffer. It’ll be our kids and grand kids. The greedy will already have their money.
Now, don’t expect the greedy 1% to willingly stop making money stripping away our commons. It has to be you and me to pass the laws that require that our commons be cared for. The only way to protect our commons from the greedy and from ourselves it to educate everyone of the train wreck right around the corner and to pass laws that protect our commons, right now, today.
