Hillary Clinton says businesses don’t create jobs.

“Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” former Secretary of State Clinton said in Boston. “You know that old theory, trickledown economics. That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly. One of the things my husband says when people say, ‘What did you bring to Washington?’ He says, ‘I brought arithmetic.’ ”

So there you have it in a nutshell, the reason I never vote for Democrats.

Let us put aside the corporations portion of her comment.

 

Where does she believe jobs come from then?

[Lhalo]

The government. Duh.

[mtangelsfan]

Good lord......................  sad thing is I'm sure you are right, that is exactly where she thinks they come from.

[Jay]

The government. Duh.

 

sad to think there are actually people who believe this.

[floplag]

shes right about trickle down but that has nothing whatever to do with jobs...
said it before, ill say it again she would be the worst mistake in the history of the nation and shes about 3-1 to win in a landslide thanks to the lemmings.

[Adam]

It doesn't matter. Obama said the same shit. He still won. As idiotic as that statement and belief is, the Republican beliefs are equally as toxic. 

[Taylor]

She knows that, but the dumbasses who vote will buy it.

[Tank]

wow, the people at bohemian grove really wrote an interesting script for her.

[Lhalo]

You didn't build that job!

[shellback]

just what this country needs- a female deviate president.

an endless economic argument: is it consumption or corporate that creates jobs? imo both together in balance is what does it.

[arch stanton]

Just think how destitute India and China would be without American corporate jobs. And our military keep construction companies humming worldwide by leveling old building for them to replace. Our coke and potheads have funded countless college educations for the families of the drug kingpins. As always we are the world leaders.

[shellback]

check out harpers magazine october issue for a fair summary of hillary and her political history. its terrifying.

[Crampknees]

After seeing the different jobs her husband got while in Govt. she probably thinks people should give the Govt. jobs. 

[DowningRules]

Hillary's tone is awful and condescending.  She comes off as such a 'know it all' and we pee-ons are simpleton idiots for not understanding what she 'meant' to say.  Her bogus back-stepping clarification is a major reason Americans hate the professional politician.  We are doomed if this women wins in 2016.

 

From Politico:

 

In Somers on Monday, Clinton wrapped the discussion about trickle-down economics into one about the minimum wage, an issue Democrats across the country have discussed in stump speeches.

 

“Trickle down economics has failed. I short-handed this point the other day, so let me be absolutely clear about what I’ve been saying for a couple of decades,” she said. “Our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in America and workers and families are empowered to build from the bottom up and the middle out — not when we hand out tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs or stash their profits overseas.”

Are there people who think trickle down economics still works?

[TobiasFunke]

Are there people who think trickle down economics still works?

I'd say 75% of the people that have posted in here not including you or I.

[mtangelsfan]

I'm not sure what really works to drive the economy.  Are you guys?

[Taylor]

Finding Hillary's comments idiotic ≠ thinking trickle down economics work.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I'm not sure what really works to drive the economy.  Are you guys?

 

I used to believe so, but it seems like pretty much every theory has been shown to be wrong. Any more, no idea.

****ing guy, did she not mention trickle down economics in the op?

 

keep neoconing.

[mtangelsfan]

LOL, what a maroon.

[Jay]

LOL, what a maroon.

 

Give him a break, I think he's about 13.

[Schildog]

12

[Taylor]

She certainly did. That's what was idiotic. She was creating a strawman that effectively says, "If you believe that businesses create jobs, you must be a proponent of trickle down economics."

 

It would kind of be like saying, "If you believe in global warming, you must be a proponent of the Boston Red Sox." Non sequitur, etc.
