Van Jones demands Jobs!

Former Obama "green jobs czar" and sometime communist Van Jones is now working for Move-on.org. Today at 2:37 pm Eastern time he sent the following email to everyone on Move-on's mailing list. Here's how it began:

Dear Friend,

Since the tea party took our economy hostage to protect tax breaks for the wealthiest among us, we’ve seen:

• the first downgrade of U.S. credit in history;
• the stock market drop 10%; and
• Congress’ disapproval rating hit a historic peak.

So, if you’re sick and tired of Washington’s games, you’re not alone.But just getting angry isn’t going to solve anything. What we need are solutions and action. What we need are Jobs, not Cuts—just like Americans want.

Let me fill in the rest:

We need Jobs! We demand Jobs! Jobs, with a capital J! And where we gonna get all those Jobs we demand? By growing government, that's how. Because that's the only kind of Jobs that are worth having! Good, solid UNION jobs. Ones you can't be fired from if you gots more important things ta do some days and need ta be somewhere else.

You may have heard that Jobs are created by businesses bein' started or growing. That ain't true. Most of the things created by businesses are TAX BREAKS fo' da rich. They create a few jobs--but see that's a *small* J. That stands fo' those sorry-ass jobs where you actually gotta show up and work and all. That ain't the kind of Job I'm talkin' bout. You don't want those little-j jobs.

Now Brother Barack, he wants to extend your unemployment benefits and cut your taxes. Because he knows that when people got more money, they spend more and the economy grows, right?

But now business, that's a different story, right? Cause when you cut taxes on business, they don't spend it. They just keep it themselves. So we got to RAISE taxes on business. Cause it's jus not fair that some people be ownin' businesses an all. And we be all about fairness!

Okay, I denounce myself. But man, listening to an Obama buddy preachin' about needin' jobs, and knowing that the guy is all about taxin' the hell out of every business within reach--or even forcin' companies to shut down if they don't hire the right people, or make loans in the right areas--it's pretty funny stuff.

Just keep telling yourself that the biggest creator of jobs is the government, Van.
