Mitt is Rich, and He Pays < 15% on his Wealth. So, How Many Jobs Did He Create Last Year?

[Yavin4]

He's a job creator, right? So, how many jobs did he create last year?

[Owlet]

1. Not to be picky

but he paid less that 1% on his wealth. The <15% was applied to his income for last year, and rumor has it he paid even less than that for 2009. As for job creation, I suppose you could make the claim that everyone now working on his campaign is in a job that he created. I have no idea how many people that is.

2. I bet he has lots of underpaid servants and gardeners

To do work that the average joe does by him/herself.

3. Nada

4. At least a few of his freeloading sons. Doesn't only 1 have a real job?

5. Let's hope he keeps a Dog Psychiatrist on contract. (nt)

6. well , he's having extensive work done on his Calif coastside home

doubling the size, that'll keep a few contractors busy for a short time.

7. Actually he's almost quadrupling the size of that home.

From 3,000 to 11,000 sq. feet.

8. I would argue that even the "Staples" jobs were not created jobs

Staples drove plenty of smaller shops out of business while hiring their employees. To me this is just job redistribution not job creation.

Things like wind turbine and solar panel manufacturing is actual job creation. These are new jobs, not some that have been moved over from mom and pop shops to a huge corporation.
