The chart above showing the relationship between the Koch brothers' net worth and the number of people they employ. And so we see that the net wealth of the Koch brothers has grown, but that wealth has not trickled down in the form of job creation at their company. In fact, the Koch brothers have been JOB DELETERS in favor of padding their bank accounts. I bet if I found the data it would show salaries of their remaining employees have also been reduced. The ExxonMobil chart above also shows the lack of correlation between rising income and "job creation". How long will you GOP/conservative/libertarian suckers keep arguing that the rich should be left alone because they are "job creators"?

How do you propose "correcting" this? Don't you think people should work for what they earn?
First, you right wing suckers need to stop being liars and claim that less (or zero) taxes on the rich or allowing the rich (persons or corporations) to do what they want will "create jobs". That is a lie. Because you lie and call the rich "job creators" means you know that your ideology is a scam and you need to use Orwellian words to lie to the people. Be honest. Secondly, if I could correct it I would follow the thesis outlined in this post: The Rich lied to America. We want our jobs and money back. Lastly, the notion that the "rich" did it all on their own and should keep all their rewards is a fiction because they are not islands. If a man opens up a lemonade stand on the street and makes money off of that he did so on streets the community paid to create, to police, to keep clean and to allow an atmosphere that will allow such an enterprise to take place and be successful. Let the lemonade entrepreneur reap his reward, but he owes society a compensation for creating the conditions for his wealth to accumulate.
The rich do create jobs. People with less means like me can create jobs too. I've created my own job and a job for a few others. I don't think the rich are the only job creators. I didn't read your link. It sounds to long to focus on right now. Why shouldn't the rich or anyone else be able to do "what they want" assuming they aren't going to kill someone or harm someone. Does this mean you think that only the poor should be allowed to do what they want and say "have an abortion"?
The so called wealthy also eliminate jobs. The rich or corporations are not in the job creation business but in the personal wealth creation business. If a rich person can get money from eliminating jobs and squeezing down the income from the remaining terrified employees (who just saw others lose their jobs so they don't complain and rationalize why they get less income and job security than their parents did) they he will do so. What you right wing suckers do is create a falsehood that the rich are what makes the world go round rather than the demand and supply cycle. Why are you liars? And the link is to a short thesis by Destro that even a stupid know nothing like yourself can read and understand.

I'm always surprised at the short memory spans or rank ignorance of recent history on this forum, such as the era of corporate raiding or hostile takeovers, and subsequent liquidation or sell off of the assets of huge companies which was prevalent during the Reagan administration. All to increase the price of stock holdings.
