The Bush tax cuts are ten years old. Where are the jobs?
Let's see, there was nearly 8 years of sub 6% unemployment...MUCH of that time was under 5%, which is considered full employment by the fuzzy math book keepers in Washington...despite everything that happened under Bush's watch.
You need to ask the democrats who have passed 157 thousand NEW regulations since they took control of both Houses in 2006 where the jobs are. Regulations that have done everything from shut down off shore drilling and driven 120 thousand jobs to Chile where it's more business friendly...CHILE for cripes sake...to LITERALLY turning the duck pond and reflecting pool in YOUR back yard into a navigable water and therefore subject to the control of the Federal government.
You need to ask the democrats who have been in charge of the US House of Representatives AND US Senate since 2006 and until last year controlled both houses AND the Executive branch why the tactic of cutting taxes to increased the base and reducing regulations to simplify doing business worked before they took control, why it doesn't work now. Oh, wait. The democrats have INCREASED the regulatory burden on Americans.
And let's just address the mind set that the government can "create" jobs or ANYthing while I'm on a rant. ;~)
The whole idea is ludicrous. The government doesn't create anything...except paper money out of thin air. The government doesn't have a THING that was not forcefully TAKEN from someone else...namely, "We the People!"
Government only does one thing well. Create more government. Over 70% of all jobs created since 2008 have been public sector, mostly part time and temporary jobs. That means tax payer payed for jobs. They don't build things to sell, unless you count GM and Chrysler which we now own. Government doesn't even buy and sale the goods produced by others to support their habit. A concept even a crack head understands!
Oh, and before someone cranks up the, "Obama has fewer federal employees...just like Clinton did." BULL! He, just like Clinton and Bush before him, has simply continued the trend of switching as much of the federal work force to contract personnel as he can. They don't "technically" show up on the federal payroll, but they ARE paid for by tax payers.
Government EATS TAXES. At some point, we are going to reach the point that countries like Greece already has. There will be more people with their hands out than people who actually do work to support the goodies giveaways can support. And if you like the Occupy morons...you're gonna LOVE the anarchist that are burning cars and looting businesses on every street in Greece nightly.
SAT...it doesn't matter a damn how fast we row the boat as long as progressives/liberals/socialist are drilling holes in the bottom to let water out. We WILL sink!
