Romney made it plain he believes the economy will get better by him being elected president, without him having to do a thing. While I commented about his magical thinking, we all have suspected and now have confirmed that corporations are holding back jobs deliberately. They are doing it for a number of reasons – one to make Obama fail and two so that they have the upper hand in the supply/demand equation of jobs and job seekers.

The thing that bothers me most about this video is not the 47% thing. We already knew or at least suspected it. His description of the chinese factory and the fact that other donors there were familiar with it is the point. You see venture capitalists tend to see labor in units or ergs. Measuarable cost of energy expended. you see it in cost analysis. You hear it discussed. I did in one of my first jobs as a file cleark for a major construction project (subway system). If you can control the cost and use of the ergs used, your profits go up. Remember the song with the phrase I owe my soul to the company store”? If you can purchase cheap ergs by creating a glut of ergs, ergs cost goes down. Supply and demand. So if you have a lot of jobless, there is a lot of competition for those jobs. You can make a lot of demands of the workers you have, like long hours, poor living conditions and charge them for the privelaege. Ever wonder why the union busting push, the fight against equal pay? Cutting education funding? Voter disenfranchisement of certain populations?
Romney has stated that as soon as he takes office, jobs will abound and he does not have to do anything. To me, this says that potential employers, who are doing great on Wall st, are holding out for cheapers ergs. Their problem is they need consumers. And tax payers. Rick Santorium said it the other day. The comment about liberals being the smart people. There is a dawning realization, apparently, of the intentional dumbing down of the American.
So my freinds all I can say is that in the eyes of Mitt and freinds, you are an erg, I am an erg. Nothing human about us.
