Job Creators or just plain Fat Cats

You can’t help but notice in the news how Republicans refer to the wealthy in this country as “the job creators,” and as such should not see their tax break given to them by President Bush be done away with. Without the “job creators” no new businesses would be started and companies would not expand their payrolls. After all, they feel, the trickle down economic theory of Ronald Reagan, which didn’t work before should have a second shot.

What I do not understand is if these people are the “job creators” how come they didn’t create jobs with that Bush tax cut? And why will it work now? In other words, why is this day different than all other days?
