"Nothing is more inspiring than the fervent desire of corporation executives and political leaders to provide ‘jobs’ and their dedicated labors to this end; the public virtually drowns in this display of compassion, while the same people devote themselves to removing jobs to high-repression, low-wage areas abroad, through corporate decision or government policy: a major function of the ‘aid’ program, for example, is to enhance these services to private wealth."

"It is only necessary to understand that ‘jobs’ is the Newspeak version of the unpronounceable term ‘profits.’ By accident, profits always seem to benefit from the policies undertaken in the name of ‘Jobs, Jobs, Jobs’ while jobs disappear, another of those odd coincidences that must be kept from the public eye."

"... ‘over 80% of the tax benefits for home mortgage interest, charitable contributions, and real estate taxes go to those earning more than $50,000,’ not to speak of ‘the large fraction of tax expenditures that subsidize corporate fringe benefits.’ To this one must, of course, add the pentagon system, export promotion devices, direct ‘entitlement’ subsidies to business of $51 billion a year along with over $53 billion in tax breaks to corporations (a sum that alone exceeds welfare programs to the poor by almost $30 billion), and other measures designed to provide taxpayer subsidies to the wealthy – to protect ‘jobs,’ in standard parlance." [quoting political scientist Christopher Howard]
