Real Job Creators Smarter & More Honest Than GOP Politicians In a rare example of a Mainstream Media entity NOT taking a GOP talking point at face value, NPR sought out "job creators" who would be discouraged by the proposed "millionaires surtax". We wanted to talk to business owners who would be affected. So, NPR requested help from numerous Republican congressional offices, including House and Senate leadership. They were unable to produce a single millionaire job creator for us to interview. So we went to the business groups that have been lobbying against the surtax. Again, three days after putting in a request, none of them was able to find someone for us to talk to." Myth Busted. (And no explosions or cannonballs required)
