Amy B. Dean: Tax Cuts Create Jobs? Prove It

Since the Clinton era, it has been popular even among Democrats to argue that investment in capital and spurring the economy through low tax rates would lead to job creation. But the evidence amassed since then does not support this idea. As Jack Rasmus recently noted, the period between 2001 and 2004, when George W. Bush pushed through a series of tax cuts for investors and corporations in the name of creating jobs, actually saw some of the weakest job creation rates on record following a recession.

They cant so they wont.

They deny any facts on the subject and use right wing media personality's ramblings instead.

More disposable income, more commerce. Do you spend more shopping when things are on sale or when paying list price? Every time money changes hands at multilevel government gets a piece of it from manufacturing, shipment, storage, resale, point of sale. The more money changes hands the more government gets in the end. You want to slow down exchange, raise the cost of it. Commerce equals jobs. No getting around that.

Since stimulus was implemented the unemployment rate increased to 9.8%.

Government spending creates jobs? Prove it!

But tax cuts for the wealthy are a shitty way to get commerce going

since the OP wasnt trying to say the stimulus creates jobs either you have no standing here. (and there have been reports that stimulus did both save and create jobs)
CBO finds 3.7M jobs created by stimulus - The Hill's On The Money
Recovery.gov - Tracking the Money

now im waiting for you to tell me how liberal the mainstream media is and how these numbers are all lies.

Dont bother them with facts they answer to a "higher level' of proof, they look for it up Glen Becks ass.

 

[boedicca]

TM wouldn't recognize a fact if her life depended on it.

The OP is an homage to economic illiteracy.

Tax Cuts are not a magic panacea where "poof" jobs are magically created the day they go into effect.

The DotCom bubble burst in 2000, followed by 9/11. That combination was a double whammy for the economy. Y2K worsened it by accelerating tons of investment. The two phase tax cuts did result in reasonable growth prior to the financial meltdown.

The Tax Cuts did not cause the Financial Meltdown. Nor were they accompanied by appropriate spending cuts.

But even after all of this, 6M more people were employed at the end of Bush's two terms than when he started. Obama has a net negative 3M+ at this point.

 

[Truthmatters]

Prove your claims with documentation

 

[boedicca]

You sad little booby.

It's quite easy to find the jobs by year on BLS, but I doubt you have the search skills to do so. Here is a summary from Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobs_created_during_U.S._presidential_terms

I am not going to provide documentation that Y2K investment was done prior to the year 2000, that the dotcom bubble burst in 2000, or that 9/11 happened on 9/11. If you are too dense to know these recent historical facts, then that is your pathetic problem.

Ah, you're mad because you can't prove it.

The social activist bitch proved nothing... and the logic behind more money in the hands of private citizens in a private economy, being better than more confiscated and placed thru a bureaucratic system of waste, has been shown time and time and time and time and time and time and time again
