    Video: Job Creators: A Poem by Rep. Gwen Moore

    The Nation --  Today at a meeting with progressive journalists and bloggers, Representative Gwen Moore of Wisconsin—the only person to have beaten Governor Scott Walker in an election—read her original poem called “Job Creators.” It’s a challenge to that vaunted group, which Republicans eagerly claim to promote and protect at all costs. It was really too amazing not to post right away:

      Yahoo needs to get rid of the location box.

      The poem is hiding under the location bug.

      This recession has made a lot of "job creators" rich. Mostly, it was #$%$ intended to further enrich the 1% while everyone else kept getting screwed. We should remember that Adam Smith, the 'founder' of capitalism stated that 'the job of government is to protect the rich from the poor'.......capitalism has certainly accomplished that, if little else.

      See it and listen to the truth of it by going to Youtube and looking for "job creators: a poem" by Rep. Gwen Moore. She's not going to win a Pulitzer, but truth is truth!

      Tim it goes something like this,

      Roses are red
      Violets are blue
      Corporations are evil
      Republicans too

      Daisies are yellow
      Daffodils too
      but how to create jobs
      we haven't a clue

      Flowers are pretty
      the colors are lush
      when our schemes don't pan out
      we can always blame Bush

      You can read the poem on her mother's refrigerator. It's right next to her finger painting titled "Democratic Budget in Red".

      I'm sure it's as 7th grade quality as Roland Burris and his Christmas poem before his #$%$ was kicked back to IL so Blago could Sell that senate Seat. Funny how Mark Kirk the Republican won Obama's old seat. I bust a gut everyday. Good job Gov. Walker in WI. YOU turned a Democrat mess 3.6 Billion deficit into a 300 million surplus in 9 months. Who cares what this woman thinks?
