SURPRISE! TOP OF FORBES 400 ARE JOB CREATORS

It is interesting to see that Obama’s friend, George Soros, is the only non-job creating financier in the top ten. And the administration says that their rhetoric is not class warfare

Excerpt: Here is an interesting fact that members of the Obama administration should consider: although there may be a few financiers and hedge fund managers at the top of the Forbes 400 list (the list of the wealthiest people), most of the individuals on it have founded or run companies that have created and maintained tens of millions of jobs.

However, according to the Obama administration, they are neither “paying their fair share” nor did they earn their money on their own.
