Believing his own press, Billionaire Steve Wynn thinks he's a Job Creator, not Consumers.

Consumer demand is over 65 percent of the economy. For the billionaire...I mean "job creator" class, they think they did it all. Talk about believing your own BS propaganda.
RealClearPolitics: On the Tuesday broadcast of the nightly Nevada political program "Ralston Reports," Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts sat down with host Jon Ralston to discuss the presidential election.
Here's what we can expect when these guys take over:
Billionaire Steve Wynn: I've created about 250,000 direct and indirect jobs according to the state of Nevada's measurement. If the number is 250,000, that's exactly 250,000 more than this president, who I'll be damned if I want to have him lecture me about small business and jobs. I'm a job creator.

Guys like me are job creators and we don't like having a bulls-eye painted on our back.

The president is trying to put himself between me and my employees. By class warfare, by deprecating and calling a group that makes money 'billionaires and millionaires who don't pay their share.' I gave 120% of my salary and bonus away last year to charities, as I do most years. I can't stand the idea of being demagogued, that is put down by a president who has never created any jobs and who doesn't even understand how the economy works.
This is one of the most arrogant, fantasy based rants I've heard to date. When Wynn compares his job creation record with Obama's, you just want to laugh at the fool. First time business people start off as having not created any jobs, should they just give up? No, they wait until demand requires more product, and then as a last resort, hire employees. Wynn is not only filled with himself, he's also got an ample supply of BS thrown in.



Wynn even repeats the disproved "Obama gave money to Brazil for drilling" lie. Rich doesn't mean smart.
