GOP Plan To Fix The Economy: Save Bush Tax Cuts For Rich

[Appaholic]

It's not the rich segment's job to be benevolent.

You don't get rich by being stupid. You get "progressive".

The Rich Are Not Here to Give Us Jobs

Let's cut the baloney about jobs and rich people's taxes. If corporate profits automatically turned into jobs for the little folk, the unemployment rate would be plummeting.

It happens that company earnings now exceed their lofty peaks of the housing boom. And big-business balance sheets are sloshing in cash. Corporate America's decision to stick with its current workforce is not for a lack of dough.

Companies don't create jobs because they have extra money jingling in their pockets. They take on new workers when they want to expand, and right now the demand's not there to warrant that growth. Corporations are in the business of maximizing profits for the benefit of their managers and shareholders. They're not in the business of creating jobs, nor should we expect them to be.

Sooo...the best way to create employment growth is to create demand which will require companies to hire more workers. And demand is created by purchases. So, outside of someone getting a paycheck for unneeded work, the best way to create demand in the marketplace is to allow consumers more money to drive the demand with purchaeses....like, letting them have more take home pay....huh...who'da thunk it?

Doesn't that just make you want to run right out and blow big wads of money to support our consumer-based economy, Hen?

I guess the good news for the economy is that I'll have to go get a home equity line to pay my tax bill this year.
