Hi, I'm Governor Ted and I'm here to help

So Governor Ted's going to be in Wilmington today to see what he can do to help the area recover from the loss of DHL jobs.

Well here's how I see it Ted. Here are the things that this state has done in the past three years to drive jobs out of the once great state of Ohio....

- Introduction of the CAT tax
- Annually, increase the minimum wage
- Keep strippers six feet from patrons
- Ban public smoking
- Decrease the profits of payday lenders.
- Not allow casinos in the state
- The continued assault on employers in the form of outrageous unemployment and worker's comp costs.

Now you can say, Geez Gordon, these didn't hurt company's who offered good paying jobs to employees.

But jobs don't exist in a vacuum. The money the stripper earns is every bit as valuable to an economy as the money an autoworker earns. Ever heard of the multiplier effect?

After all, where does the stripper spend her money? Don't they buy cars? Go to restaurants? Shop at Krogers? Do people work at those places?

Guess what, people work at those places as well! They need the money of the stripper the auot worker, the computer programmer, the brick layer, the restaurant server, et al to survive.

Each and every law that is passed in this state that makes it more difficult for profitable businesses to exist in this state has a ripple effect throughout an economy. It may only directly impact 100 people but those 100 support others, who support others, etc.

So what if the check cashers go out of buisness? What about the real estate developer who doesn't need to build new space because of saturation in the commercial real estate market? Aren't those contstruction jobs good jobs?

I'm of the belief that there is no distinction between good jobs and bad jobs. There's only healthy economies and shitty ones. It just so happens that democrats always seem to be governing over the shitty ones, which means fewer jobs for everyone.

Governor Ted was against the casino being built in Wilmington. Now he has the balls to show up and ask what he can do to help jobs in that very area?

Yeah Ted, how about you getting the hell out of the state. That will do a lot to get business back here.

As I've said before, democrats have made a cottage industry of ruling over the horrible areas they actually created. Ohio is simply Michigan Junior at this point. All we need to do is follow Michigan's lead and we'll have their kick ass economy soon.

What's so "progressive" about no jobs?
