Here is what I find the most disturbing about the Republican's today. They say straight out, we must protect the"job creators". As there are only a few of them; and Give them massive tax cuts so they can create jobs, as though only a few people know how to do this.

That is a blatant elitist philosophy. And insulting and wrong. None of those guys is smarter than we are, by and large. Many of those rich people inherited the money and led lives of privilege: Forbes, Koch, Trump, etc.

We do not need Job creators, we just need an environment where people can create jobs. A strong middle class does that by giving people discretionary money to invest in business.
