Blame and shouting does not a job make

“Cut taxes for the rich and jobs will follow.”  Yeah right.  A mantra often proclaimed by many conservatives.  Oh really?  So, where are the jobs? 

I know this coming 2012 campaign season once again will have its share of the partisan battle cry, “Jobs Jobs Jobs.”  As if we’ve never heard this before.  Remember 2010?  It was Jobs-jobs-jobs into infinity.  Spouted mindlessly by hollow headed candidates.  But quickly forgotten once a candidate took office and then started their reelection campaign fund raising just days after swearing in. 

Well, if you haven’t been paying attention, taxes have been cut long ago.  The rich have been on a tax holiday for the past ten years.  And most recently the rich have been given an additional year of tax-free frolicking through the daisies.  All the while their savings are stacking up in large vaults like Scrooge McDuck.  But as a result, no new jobs.

So, where are the jobs that the well meaning congressman and the rich had promised?

TEA partiers, where are the jobs?  Mainline conservatives, where are the jobs?  The very rich, where are the jobs?  Don’t give me that shallow excuse, “Well Obama hasn’t created jobs.  The president doesn’t create jobs.  Congress has to act on any proposal the President suggests.  You know the freaking drill.  Stop excusing yourselves and blaming others.

It’s the TEA party stupid!  It’s the conservatives stupid!  It’s cutting taxes for the rich stupid!  All job killers stupid!
