Who here thinks another Tax Cut will do "Squat" to creat Jobs
From what I see Avoiding Taxes is the only reason the Wealthy Corporations have to take risk and create jobs

Small Business NOT Corporations create jobs. Wealthy Corporations "Take Over" small business and outsource those same jobs.

We will never create jobs with the Corporate Tax Code that we now have and a Tax Cut merely takes money out of the economy and is a "Job Killer"

3. Economics 101. Gotta spend to make things better.
Tax cuts for the wealthy and corps won't do it. Think of how much money they already have....what are they doing with it all? If we give them more, what will they do with that? Certainly NOT help us common people.

12. a.k.a. You have to spend money to make money.
Would love to see this point thrown back into the GOP's faces.

Austerity to the point of suffocation is detrimental.

4. Despite the conservative's best efforts, tax cuts have NEVER improved the economy
And even worse, not only is Obama doing the same thing, many of the tax cuts in his "jobs bill" are just continuations of existing tax cuts that havent helped one bit in creating jobs.

How anyone can expect an improvement from continuing to do the same thing is a mystery.

5. Of course it won't create jobs,
And it won't be much of a stimulus either. Tax credits and tax cuts are proven to be the least stimulative actions that we can use.

7. If tax cuts created jobs, we ought to have 99% employment right now instead of 80%

10. All the previous tax cuts created a negative job growth
So what's to think another one would change that?

11. It's been proven not to lead to job growth...
How many times must we hear this from the fucking Republicans? We've had 30 years of "trickle down" and 10 years of Bush tax cuts and IT DID NOT CREATE JOBS!!!

WE HAVE THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT SINCE...REAGAN!!!

14. Even the conservative economists agree tax cuts dont stimulate
job growth. Only the Corporatists and T-baggers.

16. Tax cuts to consumers create jobs
if you don't believe that, then you don't believe in Keynesian economics.
