So, they're not job creators?

They are in that, in the right here and now, they approve and determine new ways to generate revenue.
Revenue generation normally creates jobs.

Why are businesses called job creators, and treated differently than demand creators?

They are one and the same.

What the heck is a demand creator?

Consumers?

What is this 'normal' you speak of? Are these 'created' jobs living wage jobs?

check out thom hartmann as well on this.

if you want a tree to have apples you have to water it. corporations create jobs very well if theres not workers buying their products

this is just a strange thread and i find it hard to believe that people have different view on something so simple as job creation.

I always liked the term " saved jobs ".

 

[teamer]

None?
I see no reason for that in a Board Room.

his point I suppose is if you don't speak of it then it can not happen

Sure. Saved crappy jobs that don't pay a living wage. I get so sick of the Republican garbage about "job creation" and the even more loathsome term "job creators". We've given over our country to an aristocratic class that makes us feel lucky if we can get $14 per hour jobs that are actually worth much more. The extra profit goes back into the pockets of the upper class, strengthening their stranglehold over the masses.

South Carolina and Texas are perfect examples of states given over to the job creator class through anti-union RTW rules and huge giveaways and tax incentives to corporations. Yes, there are jobs, but they aren't good jobs, and even if they are "saved", it's at the expense of the rest of us.

So simple and yet you don't understand it.

So simple and yet you don't understand it.

no i agree with both sides of it. its not even a debate for me. but im not sure why other people are perplexed by it.

probably because there was a concerted effort for them to be told the lie again and again.

 

[JL 0513]

How many hours do you think are spent on "job creation" conversations in boardroom meetings?

Why would executives talk about job creation? That's not how it works. They talk about how to make the company stronger, broadly speaking. Whether it's in new product/service planning or how to cut costs. The idea is to build a bigger and better company that profits more. If they succeed, more jobs are created. Businesses don't exist solely to create jobs. Jobs are the end result of the businesses efforts to make money. The only way a great economy can exist is the drive to make money. Too bad so many people demonize profit as if it's a bad thing. Profit is the foundation of everything. Otherwise, we're all back in caves.

You forgot Reagan and Bush Jr.!

Don't forget Eisenhower, Nixon and Bush Sr. They all did as well. Truman may be missing from the list as well, but in a more tangential way.

Wasn't it Reagan who armed the terrorists in Iran via the Iran/Contra scandal? Yo have a short memory.
