Romney's Money Disproves the Myth of the "Job Creators"

All that money of his that is invested in foreign countries and deposited in foreign banks
completely disproves the GOP myth that the rich are the "job creators", i.e., the more
they get, the more they invest in America. This is the GOP and Romney's whole rationale
for cutting taxes on the rich and thwarting the Democrats' attempts to increase revenue.
The Romney money story completely disproves that bogus nonsense.

is where the campaign is slowly leading We D. People. It logically follows all the stashed money narrative and completely neuters the, inevitable, "wealth envy" counter-argument.

That's basic stuff, but I wish our side would hammer on that Econ 101 lesson in the campaign… Corporations aren't gonna create jobs unless someone's buying their goods, products, and services… Of course, the GOP doesn't care about US consumers as long as their corporate backers see short-term $$ in the emerging economies of China, South America, etc.
