"To create jobs"

*
I challenge any politician, economist, or journalist to point to the corporate charter of a single Fortune 500 company whose stated mission is "to create jobs." Until this Fifty50 Challenge is successfully met, all politicians, economists, and journalists need to shut the fuck up about how businesses create jobs.

Businesses are not founded "to create jobs"; they are founded to enrich their owners. Corporations are not chartered "to create jobs"; they are chartered to earn profits for their stockholders and dodge taxes.

I have spoken. Long live StuporMundi.

  1. During the 1856 campaign I think some Buchanan supporters pointed out that plantations created jobs, so give 'em whatever they want. This is always the argument.
