Republicans have been pounding their "job creators" alternate universe name for the rich into the ground for a couple of years now - people are tired of hearing it. I think the time is ripe to throw it back in Republican's faces. The super rich aren't "job creators", they are "job misers". They have aggressively been grabbing up more and more of the fruits of Americas economy and simply hoarding it. Workers are asked to keep working harder, to do the work of two or more, to do that work more efficiently than it was previously done by two or more workers, and to do it with lower pay and less benefits. The Job Misers then seize most of the profits, give themselves raises, bonuses, and stock equity, and then sit on top of their wealth. They are Scrooge constantly repeating "mine all mine" while gloating over their bars of gold. They don't want to give back a nickle to the American middle and working classes unless they absolutely are forced to.

Democrats message needs to be that the worst thing we can do for the American economy is allow the Job Misers to keep hoarding more of Americas wealth. They are doing their best to make sure that most of our money never sees the light of day being transferred to middle class wallets again. If the "Job Misers" are forced to spend any of the mountains of gold they sit upon on actually creating jobs - they would rather use their American profits to create cheaper jobs oversee.

We can't afford to let the Job Misers lock up even more of the life blood of Americas economy. The stingy bastards have shown that they intend to give back as little money to the American workforce as is possible without shutting down all their businesses here; that is until the day comes when the Indian and Chinese consumer markets grow to the point that Americas Job Misers Job Misers no longer care if anyone here can afford to buy their goods and "services".

New Framing: They say "Job Creators, we say "Job Misers."
