[quote=luchabee]Urbanrealtor: You missed the point.

The point has never been “real jobs” (like a teacher versus an engineer), but jobs that create other jobs for poor people like me . . . For example, people who start businesses.

Again, some of hardcore liberals are big fans of regulating and taxing businesses at every opportunity.

As I mentioned to my brother-in-law, these far left-wing types will never give him a job, never hire people, never pay business taxes, etc., so he might want to think twice about jumping in bed with them politically (unless he can get a nice government job as an accountant). I know it’s a radical thought. [/quote]

Your premise seems to be that liberals don’t start small businesses.

I suppose you should post some data to support, considering that 52% of the voting population now qualifies as “liberal” by your standards.

I haven’t personally been employed by scary liberals, but my spouse and I do own several small businesses and have dozens of employees. Their response to the original thread question would be “yes.”

Realizing the plural of ‘anecdote’ is not ‘data’ – I thought I might contribute anyway.
