Truly Frightening — Hillary Clinton Says: Don’t Let Anybody Tell You Corporations and Businesses Create Jobs
At a Democratic rally in Massachusetts, Hillary Clinton’s attempt to attack “trickle-down economics,” resulted in a spectacularly odd statement.
Clinton defended raising the minimum wage saying “Don’t let anybody tell you that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs, they always say that.”
She went on to state that businesses and corporations are not the job creators of America. “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” the former Secretary of State said.
I really wish they had let the clip run longer. Does she articulate some bizarre theory by which jobs are created by something other than corporations and businesses? I wonder what that is. Government? Martians?
This person might be president?
We are so screwed.
Patterico (9c670f) — 10/25/2014 @ 3:07 pmWell, Hillary Clinton said it so the opposite must be true*. It is corporations and businesses that create jobs.

nk (dbc370) — 10/25/2014 @ 3:12 pmClinton defended raising the minimum wage saying “Don’t let anybody tell you that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs, they always say that.”
Absolutely!!!!!
Democrats should not be content to stop at raising the minimum wage to $10 or $15 an hour. They should raise it to $50 or $100 an hour and create even more jobs through the invisible job monster in the sky and lift even more people out of poverty.
Smart take!
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 10/25/2014 @ 3:15 pmShe is running against Warren and is going to occupy the Left if she can.
The Democrat Party as we used to know it: McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Gore, Bill Clinton is gone and the party of The Omnipresent State has taken its place. You will know its adherents by their political correctness and their desire to replace people’s morality and sense of justice with legalisms and artificial ethics; in short: Sociopaths.
Kevin M (b357ee) — 10/25/2014 @ 3:31 pmYup. It’s great to say the two parties are the same. Right?
We had better all vote. And not be all sniffy about it.
HRC doesn’t believe in anything other than what she thinks will give her power. An angry and vindictive woman.
It’s going to get nasty.
Simon Jester (1d5945) — 10/25/2014 @ 3:31 pmClearly it is poor people and the working class that create jobs. Percolate-up economics, if you will.

daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 10/25/2014 @ 3:35 pmSimon,
Another way to put that is to note that so-called RINOs are not Democrats because the Democrats have completely lost the plot. We should instead woo the political middle, mainly by sharing the Occupy Democrats every statement with them.

redc1c4 (34e91b) — 10/25/2014 @ 4:20 pmWhat’s so funny is that she probably desperately wants to run as a competent centrist, but she is so freaked out by the de Blasio/Warren wing of her party that she is going into full pander mode to try to head off any potential challenges from the left. She probably couldn’t pull this off if she wasn’t completely sure that the media would cover for her once the primaries are over. In the meantime, however, I wonder if her Wall Street buddies are taking notice.

Simon Jester (c8876d) — 10/25/2014 @ 4:32 pmIf she were a ‘normal’ person, one would think that she might have sustained more damage than has been admitted to when she had her ‘episode’ causing her vision problems; or that maybe that ‘tarmac shelling’ made a hit; but being Hillary, a Progressive through and through, she’s just another economic moron.

I doubt she runs. She is just making sure she stays on the speaking for $ circuit.
mg (31009b) — 10/25/2014 @ 4:44 pmThis is the distilled essence of the political philosophy of the Left, although, it really is nothing quite so grand as a true “philosophy,” and, is more properly referred to as the same tired, recycled tropes that have long been stock tools taken from the well-worn pages of the neo-communist playbook. To wit, everything that is good flows from the “benevolent” and paternalistic hand of the State, according to neo-communist-Democrat apparatchiks such as this vile, power-mad crone. Of course, the self-perceived “expert” centralized planners of the Central Committee know best how to manage our lives, despite the fact that almost none of them have ever worked outside of government in the private sector, what constitutes “the real world” for most of us.
So says the woman who has never spent one minute actually working at a merit-based job in the private sector, who has never actually managed or founded a small business, much less worked at one! A woman who, along with her equally vile husband, has managed to milk her mediocre political career into obscene amounts of lucre that she never would have been able to amass in the private sector as a result of entrepreneurialism, sweat equity and actual accomplishment.
Two things are really quite remarkable, here: 1) That Clinton would actually casually (and, perhaps, calculatedly) regurgitate the abject stupidity and transparent demagoguery of Obama’s “you didn’t build that” comment of 2012; and, 2) That she is totally unabashed and comfortable spewing this communist narrative. The Left is becoming more and more comfortable about openly displaying its totalitarian centralized planning bent, and not even engaging in a pretense of being pro-free market and pro-capitalist. This is food for thought, because, it suggests that Clinton knows her audience, and anticipates that most of the populace — far from rejecting this tupe of pandering and demagoguery — will, in fact, be receptive to it. She may be right, inured as most Americans are now to receiving their “free” goodies from the State.
And, of course, the final irony is the gaping chasm that exists between neo-communist-Dem utopian ideals, and, the deleterious real-world consequences that ensue, once those utopian, ill-conceived machinations are put into effect. Apparently, the examples of Cuba, North Korea, Cambodia, the Soviet Union, France and Communist China don’t suffice to get the point across, with respect to statism/socialism/communism’s representing an utterly bankrupt ideology (in more ways than one) which has brought nothing but death, impoverishment (intellectual and fiscal) and misery to countless hundreds of millions of people over almost 100 years.
Guy Jones (df6cf0) — 10/25/2014 @ 4:51 pmIt really is a sad state of affairs. Eight years of Obama’s arrogance, vanity, incompetence and utter detachment, plus, the ceaseless fallout from his ruinous policies, followed by four or eight years of the insufferably self-aggrandizing and self-enriching Clintons taking the reins of power, sixteen years after Bill was mercifully put out to pasture. The country will survive, but, not in a form that supporters of individual liberty and limited government recognize. What is the last bastion of freedom left on Earth? I will remain living here only because I don’t have the means to look at other options abroad.

The Popehat blog had an interesting article recently:
http://www.popehat.com/2014/10/21/gamer-gate-three-stages-to-obit/
Now, it is about GamerGate (and don’t roll your eyes; people are angry about this topic). “Clark” at Popehat lays out the situation pretty clearly…and then the article expands out until the topic is an example of our current cultural war in the West. I sat up and took notice.
Then , “Clark” wrote this:
Now, I read that Conquest book when I was in college (along with Milton Friedman). It really moved me. And Conquest (and “Clark”) are right. I would much rather live in a Civic society.
Also, it is a warning. When we all agree within a “tribal” group, pretty soon the “other” is seen as so thoroughly evil it is okay to attack, first verbally, and then worse. It’s primate politics. And we are at our center primates (who glance upward toward Grace from time to time). If it is wrong when the Left does it, it is wrong when the Right does it too.
Conquest’s book is worth reading. “Clark”‘s post definitely is…
Wow. I hadn’t thought about that book in many years. Again, thanks to Patterico for providing such a space.

But that’s obviously not who she really is. Based on her gut biases, she oozes and bleeds liberalism. But not just as a leftist, but a weirdly dishonest one at that. Or a reference to her brandishing the escaping-sniper-fire-as-First-Lady line even after her lying about that was publicly revealed, and she knew it too but still kept up the charade. That all by itself illustrates not just a form of blatant dishonesty, but an almost sociopathic one at that (then again, look at who she’s married to).
Incidentally, several years ago she arrogantly dismissed the hardship that some businesses would have in meeting things like government-mandated health insurance, proclaiming that if such companies were so undercapitalized, they shouldn’t be in business in the first place.

Add Obama to that and you have the entire party these days. There are an awful lot of Democrats who are going to wake up one of these days and find the Democrat Party doesn’t speak to them anymore.
There are two wings left standing in the Democrat: the Socialist wing and the PC wing. One wants to reduce everyone to a chattel of the State, the other one wants to reduce all personal interaction to a checklist. The old coalition can try to find a home in those choices, and no doubt many can, but a lot of people are going to find their ideas of personal freedom, a market economy and a strong government to help the weak just isn’t in the platform any more.
And Hillary has decided to join the lunatics rather than pull them back of the ledge.

The somewhat incredible thing to me is how people like Hillary and Obama and Reid find themselves amidst a planetary alignment of people eager to enable them. At times it is almost enough to think there is a “grand someone” behind them pulling puppet strings.
Perhaps they are better coordinated by Alinsky’s patron spirit than most in this day and age would ever consider. But that seems a more reasonable explanation than many others.

And that needs to go double for the public sector, or the government that, unlike just about the entire private sector (which includes companies and non-profit organizations), forces people to pay for its “goods” and “services,” whether we want or need them or not.
I guess the closest one can get to companies being analogous to you’ll-pay-or-else! government would be privately owned utilities, since in just about all cases one can’t casually choose to have or not have electricity, etc. But when it comes to most of the hierarchy of the government, local, state and federal? It’s great to be required — REQUIRED!! — to fund the salaries of Joe Blow sleeping in his office cubicle in DC and all the government-only holidays of Jane Doe over there in the state capitol, etc.

I can’t believe you bigots are making fun of our future historic first concussed-American President.
With bonus lady parts.
Steve57 (e92787) — 10/26/2014 @ 10:28 amFWIW, I am not sure what Coby’s underlying intent was.
I think demand is still a free market principle and not suggestive that it is the government that creates jobs, unless the government orders you to buy something, or tells you to buy something and will tax you if you don’t…
Though I do think at times companies have created a demand by making something people didn’t know they wanted.
But I know so little about economics and business my opinion doesn’t count except to raise an example of a lack of understanding…

narciso (ee1f88) — 10/26/2014 @ 10:47 amnot bothering to read narciso’s link, though I am sure it is good as always, by the title it seems like an Obama straw man argument
one could treat them like heroes AND treat them nicely while in quarantine.
Some isolated compound on an isolated beach in the Bahamas, perhaps.
MD in Philly (f9371b) — 10/26/2014 @ 10:56 ammaybe that would be an incentive for volunteers to counteract the disincentive of having an additional 21 days away from one’s usual life.
After reading the article at narciso’s link, I can only conclude that it’s a prerequisite to have had a head injury with permanent effects if you want to work for Obama.

” Clearly it is poor people and the working class that create jobs. Percolate-up economics, if you will.

No, no, no!!!! Don’cha see, it’s all the non-English-speaking, “doing it for love” / “just trying to make a better life for their families” border-crossers that create jobs. Humberto and Enrique and Consuelo and Lupita need translators(*), they need bureaucrats to get them enrolled in the various public assistance programs, they need schoolteachers for their kids, and people at DMV to be sure they have driver’s licenses …. that’s JOBS, dude!!!!
THAT’S why Prog’s like Shrillary insist on having open borders — To Benefit America!!!, yessir.
(*) – any more, that includes other nationalities too: Wang Chiang, Iqbal, Ngobamabe, and Praveet (and their families) need translators, etc, too.

daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 10/26/2014 @ 12:51 pmInspired by the topic of this thread, Doug Ross has a list of revealing and unintendedly comical Hillary! quotes over the years which will come back to haunt her.
http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2014/10/12-funniest-and-most-evil-hillary.html
Now an O/T observation about “fact checkers.” AKA Democratic operatives with bylines. Snopes tries to defend Hillary!
Umm, no. It’s not difficult at all. Did she say those things? Yes. Therefore true.
Ahh, but what about the holy context?
How brain dead do you have to be to know that it doesn’t matter if she only said this among friends and donors? The tax increases, unlike her confession, will not be directed only to well-to-do Democrats who attend fundraisers for pols for Barbara Boxer.
Personally I would support that kind of targeted tax cut. But that isn’t the kind of tax increase Hillary! was talking about, as everything she said before or since about wealth redistribution and “income inequality” has demonstrated. If anybody won’t be taxed, it will be Democratic donors. Why else bribe her with outrageous speaking fees?
But even this limited context Snopes tries to provide doesn’t somehow make anything better. When put into context, the quote is every bit as bad as it appears just on its own. There’s nothing misleading about the quote. Just like Obama’s admission that he’d raise capital gains taxes even if that reduced tax revenues because of fairness, this quote provides a window into the mind of a pirate.
Then there’s the next quote:
Umm, no, it isn’t undercut. Because Hillary! doesn’t affirm support for free markets in that next statement.
Any market that has to follow rules to promote Hillary!’s values and Hillary!’s priorities is not a free market. Anybody who stayed awake during an economics class would know this.
http://www.colorado.edu/studentgroups/libertarians/issues/friedman-soc-resp-business.html
Hillary! being one of the products of and now contributor to those forces undermining the basis of a free society.
Which is the point of the people who wrote that list!
The only thing properly within Snopes stated mission was to rate the answer to this question either true or false. Is the rumor true or not?
It’s not difficult. It’s true; Hillary! said it.
But being liberals, they had to somehow influence whatever conclusions you draw from knowing Hillary! actually, no kidding, said those things. Which might lead to conservative thought crime. And we can’t be having that.
