I was told it was welfare recipients that were ripping off the taxpayers. Are you telling me that the job creators perpetrated massive fraud!?!

US politicians need to stop sucking "job creator" dick. "Job creator" is basically just another way of saying "someone who doesn't do the work but makes work for other people and benefits from their labor".
