"If transferring wealth to the top 2% creates jobs, wouldn't we be swimming in jobs?"

[The Irish Ram]

When Mitt Romney asserted in a recent interview that his tax rate was fair and that it was necessary for job creation, I wish the interviewer would have followed up and asked him for some details and examples of how HE has created jobs in the US since he thinks his tax rate causes job creation. And then I would have asked for some specific examples from other people who are wealthy and get the same tax breaks.

In a report on Sensata (a Romney/Bain enterprise) laying off employees and outsourcing jobs, one person about to lose his job asks, "If transferring wealth to the top 2% creates jobs, wouldn't we be swimming in jobs?" (instead of outsourcing them which obviously creates more wealth due to much lower wages for the investors).

It doesn't impact the public with more jobs at all.

Its something the GOP won't bring up:

If tax cuts lead to prosperity and job creation; the Bush tax cuts that were extended would have delivered prosperity.

Compared to the last four years, tax wise, the Bush era was a day at the spa. Wait until January.
We are going to be stunned by what Obama is positioned to take, if he obtains the flexibility he's waiting for. We ain't seen nothin' yet.

 

[The Irish Ram]

TIR believes Obama is "redistributing our wealth to his Muslim brothers", which some how is driving "our cost of living" up and we "might have a chance of keeping up with his printing worthless bills and causing inflation" if BHO did not do that.

Only an assertion by TIR, nothing else.

A threat of u-boats by Libya, TIR asserts, without documentation. But TIR alles that BHO's buddies are helping out the Libyans to destroy the Israelis.

All asertion, no evidence, no signficance.

Conclusion: TIR is stark raving bonkers.

Jake wrote to get TIR's comments below in context "You don't get it. How much is that $175 million in contrast to the SS budgent. Give us percentage comparisons. And while you are at it, why weren't you doing this to the Bush admin that was fighting two wars and running two large-scale expanision programs in drug prescription and public education? Come on, give us something worthy."

No Jake, You don't get it. No contrast.
If Obama would quit redistributing our wealth to his Muslim brothers, our cost of living might have a chance of keeping up with his printing worthless bills and causing inflation:

According to the country's top newspaper, the newly Islamic-controlled country would like to buy a pair of high tech U-boats from Germany. With them, they'd be able to strike at the shipping routes, and offshore energy facilities, of nations throughout the Mediterranean. Yes, including Israel. The problem is that two of the submarines will cost the cash-poor country almost a billion dollars.

Fortunately, they've got an ally willing to help them out.

Barack Obama's surrogates are currently negotiating with the Egyptian government, in the hopes of sending them an aid package worth -wait for it - exactly $1 billion dollars.

What a coincidence Jake..

No Jake it is not an assertion. It is the Obama administration. Clinton just promised radical Islam 48 million more of our dollars. Of which 40% is borrowed at ungodly interest, and that we will be paying back long after our Muslim president has moved onto the World stage. How much more can he distribute to them in 4 more years, when his flexibility is unleashed?
Maybe a new updated constitution to include the sensibilities and the needs of the Brotherhood.
Hollywood will miss him.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Billions and Billions Jake.
^
read that like Carl Sagan said it.........

 

[JakeStarkey]

TIR continues to blurt "billions and billions" without any correlation of cause and effect.

And the silly comment about "Libyan u-boats" patrolling the Med is very strange.

 

[The Irish Ram]

We are all blurting Jake, you aren't listening........

U.S. relations with Egypt have soured not only due to the ascendency of the Muslim Brotherhood, but also because of the transitional government’s witch hunt against pro-democracy workers in the country, including members of U.S.-funded nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). But none of this has fazed the Obama Administration; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that America will continue to give Egypt $1.5 billion in annual aid.

^
And that is just one. They all have their hands out. They pray toward Washington now.

 

[JakeStarkey]

You have showed no evidence, TIR, just blurting, squirting, and spurting.

'explain how you transfer wealth to the top 2%, I'm curious.

 

[WillowTree]

So we had the Bush tax cuts, which are still in effect. Where the hell are the jobs? Clinton raised taxes on the wealthy, did we have an economic bust under Clinton like we did under Bush?

The jobs are waiting for obama and obamacare to go away.

As well as the end of the explosion of regulations via Tzars and Executive Order which are undermining the private sector and in violation of constitutional separation of powers.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Nothing is in violation of the Constitution. Only the wisdom of the regulations is in question.

 

[mikegriffith1]

Your premise is erroneous. The reason the economy is so weak is not that we have been transferring wealth to the top 2%. Furthermore, it's a matter of easily verifiable fact that the top 2% are paying a larger share of the federal tax burden than they were before the Bush tax cuts.

A better question is this: If wealth distribution, draconian regulation, and big government created jobs, wouldn't Europe be in the midst of an economic boom and at nearly zero unemployment right now? Most European nations have either had minimal growth or no growth for years. Unemployment in Spain is more than double our own unemployment rate. In other parts of Europe the picture is not much better. What's more, European banks are heavily regulated, yet several large European banks are in terrible shape and have needed bailouts just in the last 2 years.

Reagan faced a recession that was just as severe as the one Obama has prolonged. Yet, by Reagan's fourth year, the economy was booming and well over 1 million jobs, in net terms, had been created. Obama misleadingly repeats his claim that he's created "5.2 million jobs," but he never mentions that we've lost 5 million jobs since he took office. That's why the number of jobless people has only decreased by 200,000 since January 2009 (from 12.3 million to 12.1 million), and that does not include the millions of people who have simply given up looking for work.

We are 8 days out and almost nothing will change between now and Election Tuesday.

I wish you all the best as Americans, and I will pray that you remember that which unites us more than divides us.

Takes time to trickle down. Someone in Peoria Illinois reported he saw some of Hoover's RFC trickle down in a flower shop just outside town. We have to be patient with trickle-down because it goes through many many hands, and each hand must extract a lawful fee. Reagan's trickle-down is expected to begin surfacing sometime in 2142 in a bank in Boise.

We are 8 days out and obama continues his slide. Romney is up over obama by 2 in Ohio.

Whatta LAUGH RIOT!!!!​

Republican MATH!!!!

"Last September, the non-partisan Congressional Research Service released a report showing that tax cuts for the rich — contrary to GOP orthodoxy — have minimal effect on economic growth or job creation. Instead, they simply increase income inequality. Republicans pressured the CRS to pull the report down; it was eventually re-posted with the same conclusions.

Last month, another non-partisan agency, the Congressional Budget Office, released an analysis showing that one of the GOP’s favorite corporate tax ideas would end up pushing jobs overseas. Again, instead of reexamining their ideas, Republicans are attacking the messenger."
