This man not only looks dishonest, he *is* dishonest

Job creators. Right. The ones who are creating jobs. Not laying people off, replacing them with AI, or farming them out to indentured servitude somewhere in Bangladesh. Those job creators.

Lying is a sin, bargin bin Flanders.

It’s been a lie since Reagan tried it. Why do people still believe this shit?

This is the only policy idea republicans have had for 70 years.

Are the “job creators” in the room with us?

Trickle down has never worked. Fuck I hate the gop so much.

Oh look it's that guy who lets his son monitor his porn usage.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., in a recently surfaced video from 2022 shared how he and his 17-year-old son, Jack, hold each other accountable when it comes to their porn intake by using a third-party software called Covenant Eye to patrol all of their electronic devices.

Under his eye.

This “plan” hasn’t worked in 60 years. It ain’t working now.

The same tax cuts from 2017 that they claimed would trickle down and create a hiring boom, but only resulted in massive executive bonuses and stock buy backs.

Great! Now people can work three jobs and struggle to pay bills. Thanks gop 🖕

I was assured by Conservatives on Reddit that this wouldn’t happen

He’s a fucking eunuch 😂😂😂

Never trust a man with a little boy’s haircut

wasn't Trump's tax cuts for "job creators" and are permanent? Johnson wants more tax cuts for the rich and powerful and that be permanent?

Literally bribing the rich in order to stay in power and ruining the country in the process. I get that it doesn't ruin things for rich people and Johnson, but they have to see how ruinous this is

Worked great in 2018 until a pandemic sent inflation through the roof, even though those job creators received massive bailouts. I mean clearly they wisely invested the tax savings back into their compa...oh they bought back stocks.

I mean job creators don't need any help. https://www.lanereport.com/170700/2024/01/fortune-500-made-2-9t-in-profits-in-2023-38-of-it-in-the-u-s/

We have a shitty consumerism economy. You put money in the pocket of people who will spend the money and your economy will boom.

So, the economic boom that is supposed to happen when you cut taxes for the "job creators", that these folks have been preaching since the Reagan days, still hasn't happened. So you just need to keep trying? Or they just need to keep blaming Democrats? Both? All?

This is the same trickle down bullshit that’s literally never worked and never been a serious consideration for anyone who actually understands the economy. I can’t imagine still believing the trickle down stuff in 2024

Revive the economy.

• Dow Jones: More than 7,500 points up since the start of the presidency of Biden.
  
• Dow Jones: 1,000 points up since beginning of the year.
  
• S&P: 1,700 points / 700 points up.
• Unemployment rate: To be fair: Jan. 2020: 3.6% (before COVID), Jan. 2024: 3,7%.
  
• GDP: All time high.
  

Yes, the economy needs to be revived ASAP. And tax cuts for wealthy people are the best way to achieve it and create new jobs, a sound, tested and proven concept since R. Reagan. (TBH, I have some nagging doubts about the tax cuts. I cannot fathom why?)

This just screams give us donations and we will never raise your taxes. We’re a good investment.

Trickle down NEVER works. Never has, never will.

Your daily reminder that tax cuts disincentivize job creation. Dollars spent on wages or assets are deductible. Every time you lower the rate, it’s that much more attractive to horde that dollar than create a job with it.

GOP is out of gas. All they got is tax cuts and racism

Living wage jobs only, I’m sure.

/s

Job creators like Elon Musk? Oh wait, he just fires people. Then collects 50 billion dollars.

If we just give rich people all the money one more time it will work this time for sure.

So… make indentured servitude permanent? Okay, Mikey-Poo. Super Jesus-y move on your part.

Yeah because that's really f---ing worked for the last like 50 years, right dumbass?

Revive the economy when our corporate overlords are making record profits. Ok…..

They love that misdirection of "job creators". But the same tax breaks for those ostensible job creators also go to the idle rich and the investor class playing in the casino rigged in their favor.

Which economy? China’s? India’s? These companies take the tax breaks and still move jobs offshore, all thanks to the GOP.

You know who’s been creating US jobs like a champ? Joe Biden!

That sounds like a great way to kill it.

"job creators"

Total transfer of wealth is what they are after. This would balloon the national debt massively.

Supply side economics is a scam. Demand side will actually spend it and more fair free market will decide what companies should survive, not bailouts or tax cuts.

I implore Jesus Christ to come back and absolutely pummel these sanctimonious, hypocritical bitches.

Elon Musk doesn't want to "work" anymore if he doesn't get paid $56 billion dollars by Tesla.

Even if the premise is somehow true that job creators create when you make them happy, the compensation has ballooned so much there won't be a damn thing left to trickle down.

$56 billion dollars. $56 billion for one guy to fuck around on Twitter while you work your ass off actually building the shit these mfers sell.

All they can do is parrot Reagan talking points. There isn't an original idea amongst the entire party. They really are a pathetic example of governance. These t ideas they cling to as being enlightened are just sad remnants of failed promises to the masses. They have been however, a complete cash cow for the top their. The masses just think they are as savey as their overlords. Dumb as the day is long.

Y’all if we just try trickle down even more this time it’s really going to work. Just ignore the past 40 years of data

Soooo...more tax cuts for the wealthy huh.

How in the ever loving fuck do people keep falling for this? It's proven time and time again that republican leadership is  shit for the economy.

"Job creators" is just a way of describing massive corporations that aren't struggling at all to make them sound nicer. Will those tax cuts lead to them creating more jobs or paying their employees more? Of course not. They already have plenty of money and they're not going to spend more than they need to on staffing costs.

And then they want to cut social security and Medicare. F these greedy ghouls.

Talk about sanctimonious! OK, Mike. Then tax churches instead. They are the farthest thing from job creators.

Just sitin here waiting 45ish years for a single drop of that trickle-down to splash on me…

Mr. Johnson, that's not called "reviving the economy", that's called "accelerating the decline".

Feudalism 2.0. Tax the peasants while the aristos live in idle luxury off the peasants' indentured labour.

We already did this once, guys, and it ended with revolutions and guillotines and stuff like that.

Bringing back this job creator talk from the Obama years. All they want to do is lower taxes for the wealthiest tax bracket because they think you will be fooled to thinking that will spur the economy. It never does, it never has, look what happened during the bush administration. Economy was terrible and they slashed taxes for the wealthiest. This is all about the top 1% getting their tax bill as low as possible, and many of you dummies support itbecause you vote about wokeness, Biden is old, and other crap. You need to be smarter. These people are taking advantage of you.

Corporations have been taking in massive profits, how much from price gouging, how much from giving us less and charging us more and now the Republicans want to make tax cuts permanent and probably increase those tax cuts as well??? WTF...

Revive the economy? The economy is the strongest in the World! Fuck this Trump fluffing, right wing, pussy!

The s&p 500 was up 28% ytd last time I checked. Can the media push back when they insist on reviving the economy. Cuz they're going to say it's bad and if they win, they'll suddenly realize it's actually good and take credit.

Higher interest rates are intended to cool a too-strong economy. Johnson KNOWS this, but counts on enough voters not knowing it.

We don't don't enough fat cats for all these starving children. So we will create more fat cats, and then we will get more starving children. It's the only way to destroy the American dream, amen.

If I got tax breaks for "creating jobs" that's all I'd do. I'd hire 500 people and lay off 500. Then hire those 500 back and lay off the first 500. Rinse and repeat.

I bet I could run a mom & pop convenience store and "add" 5,000 jobs a year to the community. I'd be a fucking savior to the GOP.

Fucking bootlicker. Go eat shit Mike

How is this news that a shill Republican is proposing tax cuts for the wealthy?

They tried that it didn’t work for anyone but the wealthy

So they can pocket all the money? Fuck that.

To be fair, he looks like a pedophile, and he has proven he is dishonest.

He looks like who I’ve come to see as a lier who claims to be a pious Christian. A hypocrite.

So give them a 10-20% rebate for increases in payroll expenses if they also increased their headcount. Oh, you meant huge loans to rich companies that get spent on stuff that isn't jobs and then forgive those loans while they announce huge job cuts...

“Trickle down economics has not in fact trickled down and we’re going to make than permanent”

Eat shit and die poor, Republicans

This man is evil, a money grubbing evil man hiding out as a Christian…🤮

They would just use those cuts for stock buybacks and it won’t do shit for the economy

So, more tax breaks for the rich again? I'm sure it will work this time.

Oligarchy is their watchword

Do they ever even sit down and think, for one second, how absolutely tone deaf this is?

Lol trickle down economics again eh. Worked so well before

Isn’t he also a member of NAMBLA

Guys guys guys. We get it. Trickle down didn't work. Our bad! We tried and we failed. But look. We have another idea and this time... This time, guys, it WILL work.

We call it "job creators centered drip down" policies.

Conservatives answers to everything: cut taxes for corporations

It hasn't worked for over 40 years, so that's why we have to keep doing it.

But keep on fucking your average working class, right?

By this point in 1789 the French were chopping off heads!

Job creators? More trickle down economics nonsense

You mean corporate handouts and welfare for those who don't need it, you psycho stepford Christo-fascist.

"job creators"? You mean the asshole who inherited the business from mommy and daddy and pays $11 an hour while whining that "nobody wants to work"? Those guys?

They keep doing this shit, and the repercussions take time; just enough time to rear their head once republicans are out of office and can successfully shift the blame.

Increased demand creates jobs. So … tax cuts for middle class consumers creates jobs because they will then have more spending money. The lie about job creators should be challenged all the time as nonsense.

Conservatives doing what conservatives have always done……conserving the money for their donors. Since day one baybeeeee. These fucking clowns have never once done anything different.

'Job creators'... ha. The record profits show they're doing just fine. Poor widdle billionaires don't need more money

I'd rather the money go to Job Havers not Job Creators

This is the Republican solution no matter the condition of the economy, make the rich more rich.

Ahhh, the 50 year failed experiment of ‘trickledown economics’ continues… This never has worked, btw. Several states (Kansas, Mississippi, Ohio, West Virginia, etc.) and all it has done is bankrupt the states and make the legislature cut spending on everything they actually need. It’s a fast-track ruining your state’s credit rating (ahem, Mississippi). Ohio is scrambling after enacting tax cuts on the wealthy as they are something life half a billion short on revenues. Kentucky abandoned their tax cuts because it just would not math.
And ask Sam Brownback how those big tax cuts in Kansas worked? So well that he resigned from office and replaced with a Democrat as Governor.

People love to say Reagan oversaw the biggest tax cuts ever - he did, as they were far too high, but also, after they were cut, they had to be raised over 20 times in his 8 year tenure to pay America’s bills, with the increases actually more over time than the cuts.. The difference was he had cut taxes from top earners and shifted them the low and middle class earners. 😐 His administration also oversaw a huge increase in the national debt. There was a reason folks called it ‘voodoo economics’.

No mother fucker tax them. If you give them more money they hoard it. Incentivize making them raise wages by taxing them on excess income. You absolute ghoul of a human

We have 40+ years of this bullshit economic policy NOT working

Fucking HELL

Trickle down economics is the same as let them eat cake…didn’t work in the 1700 and won’t work now.

When it is a conservative, I always leave some room for consideration, perhaps it isn't dishonesty, but rather that they are, in fact, that unintelligent that they still believe in tax cuts and Reaganomics. After all, they are dumb enough to vote Republican, it is hard to truly underestimate how inane their genuinely held ideas on how government and the economy works.

How many decades of trickle-down failures before they stop pushing this shit? We just witnessed FIVE YEARS of "job creators" raking in unprecedented profits while cutting jobs. Why does anyone at this point believe cutting taxes for corporations will translate to an uptick in the economy?

You want to revive the economy? I have a better idea: at the federal level, raise the minimum wage, create a nation-wide health care plan, and mandate 3 weeks of vacation for every full-time employee. People make more money, especially at the minimum, they spend more. When people aren't drowning in medical debt, they... SPEND THAT MONEY on other things! Oh, and if people have vacation they tend to... go on vacation and... SPEND MONEY!

Permanent Voodoo economic, trickle down horse sh*t. Yay.

That’s just another way of saying trickle down economics

Ah yes, the same corporations that will layoff employees just so their shareholders (other corporations) can make more money

Republicans are liars, they have nothing to run on.

It's been 40 years, that trickle down should be kicking in any time now boys.

Back to this huh? The whole job creator thing worked out great for Mitt Romeny back in 2012….

Ah, the good old trickle-down economics bullshit excuse!

Most of the people he’s talking about here are the ones pushing for AI to replace human workers.

no he's being honest about that being his plan. it's just incredibly shitty and stupid

Which is why I won’t pay taxes after going forward & you shouldn’t either they can’t lock us all up

In other words, more tax breaks for the rich

Which economy…? These fucks lie about everything. And exactly who is the job creators…?

Revive?

Are they so out of touch that they don’t see it’s on a goddamn tear? That it raised the entire world economy practically single handedly?

So the tax cuts are proportionate to the actual numbers of jobs "created"? Cool!

What? They're not? Shocking.

They are NOT fucking “job creators”!
They own a company and they NEED LABOR

Yes sir I’d like to become a LLC….and not pay taxes while I become rich!

AKA tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. Sure, it may collaterally help a few mom and pop shops, but the big dollar savings are for the rich.

Job creators is just code for wealthy people since they aren't going to say "if you create x jobs you pay less taxes this year" it'll just be wealth and income based like always

That will absolutely not help the economy

Ah yes. In related news: I have a bridge for sale

Mark Goldbridge?

How would that revive the economy?

Of course, he does. He's a Christian nationalist.

Looks like a vice-presidential candidate to me.

Clearly for those not paying attention the GOP solution to

• access to heath insurance
• The environment
• poverty
• infrastructure
• funding wars
• providing SS for seniors

Is cutting taxes for the wealthiest people in the country! /s

Heck ask a business person - the problem is finding people to work jobs now! Even if that supply side bs worked, you can create job openings but the workforce isn't going to magically appear.

Oh, right, because that’s always what worked. Just cut taxes.

I think we just haven’t been patient enough. Give it another 2 weeks and I’m sure trickle down will finally start kicking in. Plus we will all have that sweet new healthcare bill

Any problem you have, republicans’ solution is to cut taxes for the rich. Toilet broken? Tax cut for wealthy. People starving? Tax cuts for wealthy. Jobs not paying a wage you can live in? Oh you better believe that’s a tax cuttin’.

Every time I hear the phrase job creator I want to scream.

Trickle Down 2 Electric boogaloo

Whenever I see Mike I'm actually impressed. Impressed that his anus can accodomate all those hands shoved up his ass to make him talk nonsense.

Trickle nowhere economics don't work

Mr closeted johnson

He IS Stephen from the Colbert report without any of the charisma.

Job creators? You mean the people creating jobs that pay their workers below poverty wages but still makes themselves billions? Those job creators need tax cuts? While we all subsidize their worker's wages through social programs?

Who writes this shit? Oh yeah the ultra rich, op I mean "job creators"

Fucking dragons. 40% tax on anything over 1 million. Suck my impoverished nuts.

I think who he considers a job creator is the important part. If I had to guess it's billionaires.

Read the 2nd half of his sentence first, it makes more sense when you see the first part is just candy coating.

What does he mean by "revive" the economy? Unemployment is under 4%. He should be addressing inflation, housing costs, interest rates for homes AND student loans. A friend whose wife has student loans said his issue is the 7% interest rate. Why don't the Republicans address that?

His face is so punchable it’s insane. How can you look at that every day.

When oil companies are given a bunch of money, they don’t invest into their employees or lower the cost of anything, all they do is buy back their own stock. It’s happened in the US, it happened in Canada too. Companies don’t care about making jobs, they care about profits. And republicans care about that because the lobbyists pay them to. The whole system is fucked.

Unemployment is at 4% right now and Republicans are still trying to convince us that creating more jobs is what we need. I have a job, we all have jobs, how does this help?

How do stock buybacks create jobs? Regardless, MAGA will eat this shit up. I guess when all of the immigrants are deported that will free up a lot of jobs. None of which a single MAGAt currently would perform. But I guess when we're starving it will be better than nothing.

Economy bloom under Biden, the Republican only make it worse

So like trickle down economics? That’s a great idea. Why have we never tried that before? What could go wrong? 😑

He looks like a puppet.

Oh so CEOs can make MORE money, continue easing prices, because even more money, and still not pay wages to their employees. Yup sounds about RIGHT

Unemployment is quite low right now. He's trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

No, not really, he's trying to throw a bone to his big donors.

And the Democrats will not only support him, they will help him.

Unemployment is holding steady near a record low. If “job creators” are supposed to “revive the economy” by creating more working opportunities for the rest of us, then they need people to work those jobs. If people aren’t looking for work, then there’s no one to do those jobs. Besides the fact that tax cuts for the rich haven’t worked to boost the economy for the last half-century, applying basic logic to the conditions of the current labor market show this plan is flawed. Then again, Johnson and the Republicans aren’t actually serious about making the economy better, they want to consolidate wealth even more with the rich.

"We are going to give the 'job creators' money that are laying people off, we're going to keep doing as demand drops because people are laid off and can't afford the products and services, we have to keep that money flowing, else these 'job creators' will stop creating jobs! See! If they create the jobs, you all will get rich! See magic!"

They have only been trying this since Reagan and we had the most transfer of wealth to the 1% the most destruction to the working and middle classes, infrastructure that is failing, excessive debt.

Republicans are dumb.

Trickle down bullshit

Just say you want the 1% to own everything Mike.

One party is solely focused on destroying this country while making as much money as possible before it collapses. The other is trying to rebuild the middle class and the lifeblood of this country.

Johnson's another douchebag idiot bootlicker like the most of the rest of the GOP. These jackals have no beliefs or morals, or they wouldn't sell out to a fuckwit like Trump while claiming that he's like Jesus or whatever other horseshit they've been peddling since his conviction.

I’ll take the phrase “job creator” seriously when they also call employees “business facilitators”.

What a scam. Top down economy every time. Why not give help to the actual people suffering? The middle class.
