More "brilliance" from Harry Reid

Apparently, Harry Reid is claiming now that millionaires do not create jobs, apparently under the idea that millionaires somehow manage to buy the things they enjoy and make capital investments without anyone ever getting employed as a result.  In a just society, Reid's closest advisers would be telling him to resign his office for making a comment that stupid.  For the record, I am personally acquainted with several millionaires who have provided jobs for others; my stepfather (a retired dentist), the owner of the local hardware store, a farmer out in far eastern Colorado (unincorporated Nebraska; it's on the state line), and others.  And yes, taxing Jim, Charlie, or Lee more heavily will put someone out of work. 

One would figure that men who portray those who purchase luxury cars (as opposed to having the taxpayers pay for them as Reid does) as enemies of the people would at least figure out that the people working at the Mercedes, Cadillac, or Lexus dealership benefit from the deal, but apparently not.

gotta remember, in Reid's world, all of his millionaire buddies got that way through graft, political connections, and insider trading.

an actual entrepreneur? he dont know any. its a foreign concept to him.

What Gino said, LOL. It's not about his dislike of millionaires. He only likes certain kinds of millionaires; the ones that got that way with a little "help" from him.

Reid is about as brilliant as a peanut.

But ironically, Harry Reid provides jobs in his private life through his lifestyle. He can't even leave home without talking with a millionaire's wife who provides jobs for others.
