SuperPAC Job Creators

Hey, you know how the Republicans came up with that PR-strategy talking-point idea of calling filthy-rich wealthy guys: "job creators"? Well, it's a funny thing. Because you see, simply being rich does not make one a "job creator"; after all, one could simply hoard one's wealth in the fashion of a Scrooge McDuck. But once you donate some of your big, big money to a SuperPAC, all of a sudden, voila: you're a job creator! Because what do you suppose happens to that money you donate? Why, it goes to hire the best available hit-squad of hatchet-job guys to create the most muckraking of political ads imaginable, as well as perhaps finding itself funneling its way into the pockets of political pundits who fawn upon their party's candidate (even if they bashed said candidate ruthlessly and relentlessly during the primary season), while simultaneously slinging slanderous sobriquets at the opposition candidate. And for every immoral propagandist that gets hired, that's a new job that gets created; and you know what that means, right? Why, that makes the SuperPAC contributor a bona-fide "job creator"! (And the more one gives, the more jobs will be created, which is why donating to SuperPACs, the great political smear-machines of our times, creates the most jobs possible: because donations can be virtually unlimited! It all just depends upon how much money you have to give {and how much you really care about "creating jobs"}!)

This is Scrooge McDuck, for those of you who have been deprived of his colorful antics:
