5. "Productive job creators"

Dec 2011

Now we see where the politicians whom these schmucks bought and own get some of their terminology and attitudes - directly from their owners.

Truth is, most the middle class probably work harder than the 1% even know how to, and those same middle-class/poor are primarily the "job creators" - not the mostly idle, pampered, catered-to, rich.

The idea that the poor and middle-class just don't "work as hard" and that's why they're not rich is one of the biggest steaming piles of propaganda we've had rammed down our collective throats for the last 50 or so years.

I don't think so. Them's class warfare fightin' words there. And they're lies. “This attack is destructive” to the 99%.
