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.
Obama has actually cut taxes more than Bush did.
Obama has extended all the Bush tax cuts, which means he's equaled Bush on those cuts,
plus, Obama cut the payroll tax and cut 288 billion in taxes in the stimulus bill.
