Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Monday said “millionaire job creators are like unicorns. They are impossible to find and don’t exist.”

Congress is currently caught up in a fight over extending the payroll tax cut. Reid continued, the Hill reports:

“Republicans say the richest of the rich in our country … shouldn’t contribute more to put our economy back on track,” said Reid. “They call our plan time after time a ‘tax on job creators,’ and I say so-called job creators because … every shred of evidence contradicts this red herring.”
