    If tax cuts don't create jobs...do tax increases? This is an idiotic question, that only complete idiots would answer "no" to.

    So a 90% tax rate would have no detremental effect.......

    ......do you realize how looney your arguments are?

    YOU KEEPING YOUR MONEY CAUSES RECESSIONS......if only government would seize all our money so the economy would start booming.

    Did Pelosi teach you economics?

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE-z38pXUAo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE-z38pXUAo[/ame]

    WHERE DID THE MONEY FOR THE FOOD STAMPS COME FROM?

    Where did the money for the unemployment checks come from?

    Do you or Pelosi have any contentions based in REALITY?

    Let's cut the tax rate to 26%.

    That was the top tax rate as the economy was tanking during the Great Depression, and unemployment only got to 25%.

    LOL.....do all your arguments go back to President BJ, a REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED SENATE, and a REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED HOUSE?

    Im sure you believe BJ reformed welfare (after vetoing it twice) and AlGore created the internet.......

    Check your history. The Clinton tax increase was passed by a DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED SENATE, and a DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED HOUSE.

    That's your strawman, not mine. The topic is whether tax CUTS increase employment, and the answer is a definitive NO

    What tax cuts? The 1997 cap gains cut? That was a minor compromise that didn't change tax rate and had minimal effect on the budget, which by that time had already been on a decreasing trend for 4 years.

    What are you babbling about now?

    I'm sorry did you contradict what I said? Cause I don't see the contradiction. I said Bush tax cuts cost more than they put into the economy...this is true.

    Revenues went up in spite of the Bush Tax Cuts. Not because of them.

    Strawman?

    Im a US Employer....a Job Creator......and Im telling you to your face that stealing more of my money doesnt help me create jobs.....just the opposite.

    It would be akin to me telling you that if I steal more of your money, it would help you spend mjore.

    Do you see how ass backwards your ideology is?

    One of the largest growths in government revenues in US History.........one of the largest periods of economic and job growth in US History......and yet you insist "tax cuts cost more than they put into the economy".......a testament to willfull ignorance.

    So say it......

    If every American quit their jobs and went on unemployment and collected food stamps, the economy would boom.

    .......this is the insane contention of you and Pelosi--One of the dumbest life forms to ever inhabit this planet.

    Are you seriously trying to convince us that you are running a profitable business, that you can't produce whatever it is you produce fast enough, your employees are not (barely) able to cope with this demand, your products/services are selling like hotcakes and you have a waiting list of people desiring more of whatever it is you do...and despite all that because of a few percentage points of tax rates you can't afford to hire additional help?

    LOL, who are you kidding, yourself or the rest of us? If your business does not need more help you will just pocket that tax cut you are so obsessed about, if your business is profitable and hot and the market can't have enough of your product I bet you can find an easy way to finance its expansion, especially with current record low interest rates.

    Im not trying to convince you of anything besides your willfull ignorance.

    Speaking on behalf of every employer in the United States.......

    .......taking more of our money DOESNT CREATE JOBS.

    Good gawd.....I relocated my entire business to save a few percentage points on property and city income taxes.

    I see deals made and broken everyday over a few percentage points.

    And yes the few meaningless percentage points in your eyes......determine hiring practices and expansion.

    Like Obama, you probably never ran so much as a lemonade stand.......and yet you have the gall to tell employers what does and doesnt matter.

    LOL, you are not speaking on behalf of every employer.

    Sure does, if the money is used to create more demand for your goods and services - you will expand and you will hire. If there is no increased demand for your goods and services you will not hire a single extra temp even if your tax rate is below zero.
