Dubya Redux: Raising Taxes on the Job-Creators.

Hmm!   Former President  George Bush the Younger has emerged from a gentlemens'  retirement long enough to declare that,  "If you raise taxes on the so-called rich,  you're really raising taxes on the job creators."   Nothing new there.   Governor Romney and numerous fellow Republicans have been repeating that very same mantra verbatim,  ad infinitum.

Let's see,  what sort of jobs are the so-called rich actually creating?   Well,  for starters,  anyone who aspires to be a nanny  (au pair if you really wanna get fancy),  in the wake of some dedicated networking around such toney localities as Lake Forest,  The Hamptons,  or Beverly Hills,  may well succeed.

Of course,  if one's passion is driving,  one may find employment as a personal  chauffeur.  Further opportunities abound for butlers,  housekeepers,  landscapers, and cooks.   And  one mustn't overlook the buff dudes who clean and maintain the family swimming pools  ---  that is,  whenever they're not otherwise  occupied with The Lady of the House.   

So there you have it,  by God,  the so-called rich  really do create jobs.   And,  for Pete's sake,  one mustn't ever raise taxes on the job creators!

Chin chin!
