On Romney’s Plan To Create 17,000,000 Jobs




 





Romney is now altering his campaign-strategy. From attacking ‘Obamacare’ and putting up loud speeches favoring cut-taxes for wealthy people in America, Romney now has somehow outlined the things he will do if he becomes POTUS. But up to now he hasn’t yet announced how he will deal with such issues like immigration, AIDS epidemic, human trafficking, Iran’s nuclear program, drug cartels in Mexico, the Arab Spring, global warming, and even the bail-out plans. Why did it take so long for Romney to develop his so-called would-be policies when he knows he’s running for the US presidency? It seems that when he entered the race for the GOP nomination, his clear intention was just to ‘WIN’ the presidency without highlighting his would-be policies. That shows something about Romney’s mentality of taking over the reins of power with the simple reason of just wanting to win what he wants to win for himself. It’s like putting his ambitions first before having an intention of truly serving the American people. Romney’s ambitions outshine his desire of honestly doing public service.

Romney has just announced that he will create 17,000,000 jobs if he becomes president! I think Romney’s number one admirer today- Vegan Stephen would jump up, not jump out, from his seat upon hearing the news that Romney has already outlined his would-be policies as a presidential candidate. However, as I’ve pointed out from the first paragraph of this article, Romney has not yet worked out plans on how he would deal with major global and economic issues if he wins the US presidency. The problem with MYTH ROMNEY is that he has a long history of selling out his principles and ideals in exchange of political and business interests. Romney is basically a ‘profit-driven politician’ rather than the highly-principled public servant that a voter would dream of voting for in every election. Romney is not shy in expressing his pro-oligarchy sentiments and elitist behavior, and has even partnered with a politician who wants to curtail all welfare-programs for the less-fortunate people in America.

Since Romney is a profit-motivated politician, his economic plans can be summed up like this: ”Borrow a lot of money and then give tax cuts for mostly the rich. Pay for it 10 years from now when myself, MYTH ROMNEY, is no longer president and drill on federal lands for a short term gain.” Yes, short-term gain means fake opportunity because the desired long-term stability for America would not be pursued since fast money for big businesses, including those of Mitt, would be the main motivation of a would-be Romney presidency. Remember that during the primary, Romney stated “he will hire professionals to direct him on certain matters.” Obviously, Americans can just elect a professional like Obama or you can just hire professionals without Romney.

Mitt has been running for President for about four years now. I would have expected him to have strong positioning statements in June, July, or August - not just releasing them now in mid-September. Romney has said he will hike taxes on the middle class. Romney has stated that he wants to expand the tax base so that the 50% now not paying income taxes - currently considered too poor to pay income taxes - will begin paying income taxes. Since at least half of those are in the middle class, that's actually a “Romney tax increase” on the middle class - by his own words! Romney also has loudly stated his opposition to the ongoing talks about the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. I guess such stance would define his foreign policy if he becomes US president. He is rabidly pro-Neoconservatism when it comes to issues about the Middle East and the developing world.

Romney has said that “he will create 17,000,000 jobs if he becomes POTUS.” I don’t think that would be possible under a Romney admin! Most of Romney’s wealthy fund-raisers are fellows who supported his ‘shipping of jobs abroad’ in order to get easy money. Since corporate raiding is Romney’s game, I believe what he meant by job-creation is actually creating job opportunities outside of the USA, not inside America. Residents of Cayman Islands, China and Mexico are rejoicing with the upcoming job plans from Romney. Romney might give Mexico with 8,000,000 jobs and China with another 8,000,000 jobs. 500,000 jobs might be developed by Romney in Canada. The remaining 500,000 jobs will be open to both US and UK citizens. However, the available 250,000 jobs for Americans would only be given to them if they would relocate to the United Arab Emirates. That means Romney’s job-creation programs would surely benefit him and his friends, not America’s job-seekers.
