why can't we make the "job creators" take "personal responsibility" for their failure?

how many years of bush tax cuts do they need before they create these jobs they keep promising?

how many years of sustained high unemployment do we need before we can say that the "job creators" have failed to create enough jobs?

the belief that corporations that can post record profits WITHOUT creating jobs would hire NINE MILLION more people if only our already-cut tax rates were cut even further is a religious one, not an economic one.

it's time to declare the "tax cuts create jobs" myth is just plain WRONG.

if it's the rich who are supposed to create the jobs, then they have failed and deserve a higher tax rate as punishment.

1. The job cremators should be taxed heavily for each job cremated n/t

2. they certainly have cremated a lot of jobs, haven't they?

why should they have a tax incentive to off-shore jobs?

4. They haven't failed.

It's just that their goals weren't at all what we were told their goals were.

They accomplished EXACTLY what they set out to do.

5. Great, now you've gone and hurt their feelings

No jobs will be created for the foreseeable future. This is why we can't have nice things. Don't you have any appreciation at all for how nervous and jittery the wealthy are? Some of them can barely hold their drinks steady. And as for relaxing - really relaxing - on the yacht? Well, they're just totally ill at ease now, thanks to you.

Another round of tax cuts will help, but it won't fix everything. They're going to need a little sweetener if they're going to create jobs again. And oh boy, it'll be lots and lots of jobs, just you wait and see. Unless you spoil it again.
