This is from the Ed Shultz Show, 27 July 2011.

"I want to have you hear this audio clip that - from a caller from my radio show today. I think he sums it up pretty well, the income disparity in this country. His name is Dennis. He‘s calling from Kansas City. He‘s the owner of a publishing company.
I want your response. Here it is.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I am a small business owner. Most years, I make over 250,000 dollars a year. And you know, Republicans keep on saying they can‘t tax the wealthy. They‘re the job creators. Ed, they‘re wrong.
As a small business owner, I am not a job creator. The middle class in this country are the real job creators. Those people making 30,000, 40,000, 50,000 a year. Ed, you know, two thirds of our economy is driven by consumption.
That consumption is not being done by the top two percent. It‘s the vast middle class. People listening have to understand that businesses exist to create a profit. You have to make businesses hire by creating demand for their goods and services.
We have a demand problem in our economy, not a cash problem for businesses. Business owners, wealthy people, they don‘t need more cash."

This is a great and simple explanation for real job creation. A Real American Businessman saying it straight. The American people need to hear this over and over to reverse the lie the Republicans have been shoveling out about the rich. This could make a great political ad.
