2. Yep.

Apparently they are being created, as we've been told they would be. What we weren't told, and apparently rarely are, is that jobs are being created by US companies everywhere but here. And folks like Thomas Friedman like to point out that it's a good thing, actually, when that happens.

7. That is why the Teabaggers like Backman

say to end the Minimum Wage. If you pay Tech Support Staff $3,000 a year, instead of $4,000 a year like India, then the jobs will come back to the USA. Little Problem. Who can live on $3,000 a year in the USA?

3. We just haven't cut enough I guess. Corporations need a negative tax

burden to contribute more to society than cheap third world produced plastic trinkets.

5. Perhaps we could tell the big corporations and the rich to start creating jobs here ...

in the United States or face a return to the tax rates of the Eisenhower administration. The highest tax bracket was 92% in 1953.

6. So in reallity any tax increase would not be a tax increase

until it passed 92%
That should be the meme of the year

Let the tax rate float back to the old days

9. I heard back in 2008 or so, during a campaign, that there would be a couple

million jobs fixing the US infrastructure.

Audacity of hope.

10. Ask the "job creators". Seems like they've been slacking. I wish

just ONE reporter would ask that of the Republicans -- point us to the jobs that have been created since the tax breaks went into effect. Still waiting... you didn't answer my question...
