You remember "confidence," don't you? That's the thing our current Speaker of the House thinks so-called "job creators" need more of in order to turn the economy around. Well, apparently, confidence isn't what it used to be, if even 32 trillion dollars can't buy it. Or if you pay no taxes, but still need a tax cut.
The Speaker, his fellow-travelers and the so-called "job creators" are just "confidence artists." Or con artists, in everyday language. They've used supply-side, trickle-down "economics" to suck away the wealth that worker-consumers, the real job creators, create every day of their lives. Well, it's not trickling down, folks. It's trickling away, and never coming back.
Unless you get mad as hell, and decide not to take it anymore. (Footnote: that line was written by Paddy Chayefsky, a liberal, against corporatism. And Republicans have not right to use it.)
