RUSH: Keith in Galveston, Texas, you\u2019re next. Great to have you with us, sir.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah, hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to call, I\u2019m just sick of the irrelevance of Washington, the obstruction going on of the jobs bill. Everybody needs jobs. We need our roads and our schools fixed, they\u2019re falling apart, and the Republicans only care about protecting their millionaire campaign donors from a half percentage point tax increase instead of helping their own constituents. It doesn\u2019t make any sense at all. Why can\u2019t they just put politics down and do what\u2019s right for once?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, because that\u2019s not how jobs are created. If it were we wouldn\u2019t have unemployment. We spent $787 billion in 2009 for roads, bridges, schools, whatever else you said there, and now we need another $60 billion for it?<\/p>\n
CALLER: (interrupting)<\/p>\n
RUSH: You gotta wake up. This is not how jobs are created.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Rush, if you travel along the highways —<\/p>\n
RUSH: The Republicans are not standing in the way of the creation of jobs. Republicans are standing in the way of bloated government. They\u2019re standing in the way of more government growing, which takes away money from the private sector, which is where jobs are created.<\/p>\n
RUSH: No, because there\u2019s no such bill! It\u2019s impossible! There\u2019s no federal spending that can create private sector jobs, the only thing that could happen is public sector union workers to be hired, DMV types and all that type of people. People that work in the FDA. There is no way that government spending is gonna increase hiring at any private sector firm. It isn\u2019t possible! You cannot take money out of the private sector — you just can\u2019t do it — and have people hired. It just doesn\u2019t work that way.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, actually the last few job reports, Rush, the private sector had created jobs in line with what\u2019s expected in an economic recovery. The real job losses have been in the public sector because of crushing budget cuts —<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know…<\/p>\n
CALLER: — and all this bill is to do is to reveal some of that.<\/p>\n
RUSH: If I were you, I would be embarrassed. You are such a tool! You are a mind-numbed robot programmed to spew a bunch of absolute garbage, illogical garbage! You\u2019re just flat-out wrong, embarrassingly so. You\u2019re reading from a script, incapable of critical thinking on your own. You\u2019re a sponge, and you\u2019re soaking up stuff from the wrong side.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: You know, that tool we just had on the phone, he\u2019s not even up to date on the latest leftist talking points. The Democrats have dropped the millionaire tax from their new jobs bill. Right there it is. Democrats jettison millionaire surtax in new jobs bill. It\u2019s from Fox News — and, by the way, you people in Ohio? Organizing for Obama is a big part of that campaign in Ohio, to lie to you about what Issue 2 is on your ballot, but the Democrats have dropped the millionaire tax. On the other hand, the House of Representatives has passed more than 20 jobs bills. The difference is their jobs bills don\u2019t involve what government does; they involve what government will no longer do.<\/p>\n
The Democrat-controlled Senate has ignored all 20 Republican jobs bills that have come out of the House of Representatives. So our last guy hadn\u2019t gotten the latest DNC talking points yet. He\u2019s reading off something that\u2019s a little old out there.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Barron\u2019s, November 7th issue, editorial commentary. It\u2019s on page 47. Entitled, “Hard Come, Easy Go,” by Thomas G. Donlan. “Twelve reasons…” This is the highlight of this piece.<\/p>\n
“Twelve reasons why there is more inequality in the US are Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Sergey Brin [Google], Larry Page[Google], Michael Dell, Paul Allen, Steve Ballmer, Michael Bloomberg, Jeff Bezos,” that\u2019d be Amazon to you, “Steve Jobs, Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey…” Those are 12 reasons why there is more inequality — and you could add this Zuckerberg Facebook guy for 13. These are just a few of the people who changed the country, and most people would say they did it for the good of the country. Some on here arguable, but still, they did well — and look at all of the jobs these people have created. Do you know how many Microsoft millionaires there are? Do you know how many Apple millionaires there are; how many Facebook millionaires there are?<\/p>\n
