John Boehner is a communist

Whenever politicians like Boehner or Pelosi or Obama or Bush or FDR or whoever proclaim, “It’s all about jobs,” that’s proof they’re communists.

Because that’s exactly what communists like Stalin or Marx would say: Capitalism is bad, it’s not hiring enough workers, we have to intervene, it’s all about the worker, workers paradise, yadda, yadda, etc.

For the love of god people, do you know what your doing when you vote for politicians who say, it’s all about jobs? They’re taking pages from the communist playbook! Communists pander to workers because they know everyone wants a job and they make them think jobs can be handed out like candy. Notice how all politicians talk like communists? It’s all about jobs! Well I got news for you, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

With capitalism, it’s not about the jobs, its about the entrepreneur who only creates jobs when they absolutely have to, based solely on increasing demand for his product or service in the marketplace.

Here’s how it works:

Entrepreneurs see a need not being met.

They start a business to meet that need, partnering with investors who supply capital (loans, savings).

Then come jobs.

In that order.

If the venture fails because the entrepreneur misjudged demand, the business goes bankrupt and that’s the way it should be. But failure is a foreign concept to communist politicians. They bailout the same failed businesses no matter how out of touch with reality they are, because its all about — jobs! That’s why the USSR failed and why China abandoned communism.

Another concept people must relearn is the need to not interfere with the adversarial relationships inherent in capitalism.

Customers want as many products as possible for as little money as possible.

Entrepreneurs want as much money as they can get for as few products as possible.

They meet in the middle and that’s how it works.

Entrepreneurs would also rather not hire anyone at all, it reduces their profits.

At the same time, workers would rather not work at all and get paid for it. Hello government welfare and unemployment checks!

For instance, do you run a website for money? Then your an entrepreneur. Do you want to hire someone and reduce your earnings substantially? Of course not, your not running a charity! You only hire people if you have to, to keep up with demand. That’s how it works and that’s how it should be.

Government puts their thumb on the scale in favor of labor. That’s not fair, but they get away with it because they get elected by the majority and the majority are workers. Businesses fight back by manipulating the system to get their people elected and you get a corpocracy. It’s a vicious cycle that only leads to economic collapse.

In their insane quest to “create” more jobs the politicians distort the market by giving incentives to invest in non productive endeavors like millions of empty houses. The fact that this is stupid escapes your average communist in Washington, D.C., he illogically deduces, “We just didn’t do it enough!” Yeah, those buggy whip makers were stupid, they just didn’t make enough buggy whips. Too bad they didn’t get a bailout. Guess we weren’t communist yet back in 1900.

When you vote for president or governor or whatever, vote for the person who advocates less government (and has the record to prove it) because only then will you know he’s not a communist.
