Jeb Bush Cracks The Whip: You Need To Work Harder

During an interview yesterday, presidential candidate Jeb Bush said that “people need to work longer hours” if America is going to escape its current economic rut and achieve “4 percent growth as far as the eye can see”.

“The fact is, Bush’s brutal antipathy for the struggles of hardworking Americans is becoming more obvious as his campaign continues”, said Manriquez.

JEB BUSH: You can take it out of context all you want. “We have people who are working”.

Ex- Florida Gov. Jeb Bush listens to a speaker before giving his keynote address at the National Summit on Education Reform in Washington, November 20, 2014.

Known as a “Super PAC”, Right to Rise can accept unlimited monies from donors.

The only two other Republicans to have disclosed their campaign hauls are retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson ($10.5 million) and former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina ($4.8 million between herself and a Super PAC).

Instead of calling the people he wants to vote for him lazy, maybe he should call the millionaires and billionaires funding his campaign and his Super PAC and ask them to give their employees a raise. The Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign have both smelled gaffe and responded with mocking counter press releases, depicting Jeb as smug and out of touch.

“If we’re going to grow our economy, people need to stop being part-time workers and need to be having access to greater opportunities to work”, Bush said last night. The campaign is also hoping the fundraising news enables Bush to push past one of his worst news cycles, which came in the wake of his comments Wednesday that American’s should “work longer hours”. Among them, Texas Sen. For perspective, that’s less than the million Bernie Sanders raised during the same filing period.

What enabled its size was an innovative strategy that some of Bush’s GOP rivals chose to emulate: By not formally running for President, Bush could keep the independent group close by and help it grow into a political and financial juggernaut.

Rich countries don’t just have more money.

Bush isn’t alone in counting on significant support from a super PAC.

Getting these people into full-time jobs probably won’t produce 4 percent growth – a level that no recent president has been able to sustain – but it would make a huge difference for the workers and their families.

By law, it can’t take direction from the campaign, and the two operations have limits on how they can communicate.

Right to Rise already is advertising on Bush’s behalf.

When it comes to spending the money, campaigns get less expensive rates for advertising than outside groups; Right to Rise filed its first public expenditure Thursday: $47,000 for media production and placement in Iowa and New Hampshire, the first states to cast presidential ballots next year.
