Taking their cues from Obama’s C of C speech, I think I have seen at least two prominent Democrats per day in the news pointing out that business has $2 bil. in reserves that they are not using to create jobs.

I think the template for the Obama 2012 campaign is set. “I tried. I asked them to be Patriots. I asked them to create jobs. But they refused. Guess now we’ll just have to take their money and create Green Jobs for them”.

I can turn her words around to make them palatable.

“There are great new technologies out there that can make business a fortune, with lower costs and better efficiency. More for everyone. Find those new technologies, develop and market them, and instead of capital just sitting there, it will produce handsome yields.”

Perhaps Ms Jackson could invest some of her own damned money “to create jobs that advance pollution control”.

You are not going to see any job creation until he is gone and out of office.

You are right about that. The only economic growth you will see over the next two years is in ventures that require no employees. This Administration has created a business environment where having employees becomes a huge liability.

So the big question is: Are they doing it out of ignorance? Or are they doing it with the willfull intent of destroying the American economy.

"We should find a way to confiscate tax those cash holdings at an 80% level (nobody needs that kind of money!) and use it to eliminate the deficit expand social and environmental spending.

"Taxing at that level would force businesses, most of them the DIRTIEST polluters in the nation, to actually use that money to open new, GREEN plants, creating new GREEN jobs, instead of collecting unearned income from it," Administration officials said in a private Oval Office meeting.

"We know how to put it to better use, than those greedy B*****ds who are sitting on it, trying to hatch it like a rotten egg!"
