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"?

You are stupid as is this article and the carpet muncher Maddow. So because the Koch's made money in the Obama Depression and didn't hire a lot more people (as would any smart company would do when the Kenyan is trying to screw them), this is supposed to prove the rich are job destroyers? How many people did you hire this past year?

The rich Kochs made $8 billion dollars between 2007 and 2008 under Bush and added on NO NEW employees.
Between 2008 and 2011 the Kochs made $12 billion dollars MORE in the Obama era over what they made in Bush's last year in office and those richers DELETED/FIRED/SHED 13,000 employees.
The rich Kochs, still paying Bush level tax cuts, etc did not hire more workers as they made more money but fired them.
Hence you Koch suckers can't claim the rich are JOB CREATORS without being called for your Orwellian BullShit.

So why would they need to hire anybody?
How many people have you hired?
#96. To: no gnu taxes (#93)
How many people of the rich and corporations with their record profits hired? The rich and the mega corporations are job deleters even when they are flush with cash.
Why are you Koch suckers still calling the richers "job creators"?

no gnu taxes: How many people have you hired?gobsheit: How many people of the rich and corporations with their record profits hired? The rich and the mega corporations... blah blah blah........
Translation: NONE.

In mathematics, zero is greater than negative. Since the richers fired people rather than hired people I am ahead of the curve.

Rule of Disinformation #13. Alice in Wonderland Logic. Avoid discussion of the issues by reasoning backwards with an apparent deductive logic in a way that forbears any actual material fact.

Really, you'll have to do much better, if you want to keep up.

You are the one avoiding the FACT that the ones the GOP/conservatives call "JOB CREATORS" aka "RICHERS" actually are JOB ELIMINATORS and are so even as they make record profits.

WOW... ((((raised eyebrows))))
That's gotta' be the most convoluted sentence I've seen, in quite some time.
You seem to think the situation we're in revolves around politicians and businessmen with an "R" as their political identity, versus those with a "D" to represent their political views.
And it ain't about R vs. D. It's about corporatist socialism (what we have had since ~JFK), versus socialism (a la the USSR) that YOU want, versus capitalism (what I want).
If they're CROOKS, they need to be hanging out the end of a rope. It doesn't matter to me if they call themselves an "R" or a "D", they're STILL CROOKS!
You keep falling for the same old "us versus them" game. And so they keep playing you.
GROW UP!
George W. Bush (Herr Dumbass) was bad. Bush-I was bad. Clinton was bad. oBUMa is REALLY bad!
When did you think someone could Jimmy Carter look competent?
Let's see... Six elections, and we keep getting the same old shit, steadily plodding towards the police-state...? You see a trend, yet? We're moving toward a level of corporatist fascism that Mussolini would have turned green with envy, over!
With a lot of leftist bloggers calling oBUMa Bush-III, do you STILL believe there's a difference between the parties?
DO YOU?

This is exactly right.
The political establishment of both parties have essentially given us a corporatist economic system, dominated by politically connected companies on Wall Street. Goldman Sacs ran the Clinton administration.
The lunatic left thinks that this is the free market and calls for even more government.
Capitalism gets blamed for the failures of big government, so of course the answer is even more government.
It's a vicious circle that needs to be broken.

Why aren't you out there putting your ass on the line with the occupy Wall Street people?

It is the capitalists who blame their failure on government, not the other way around.
