Here's a thought.....

makes sense to me!

Hmmm, sounds like a plan. But contributing to super PACS is a whole lot more sexy than creating jobs, apparently.

They must donate more money to their pacs than they pay in taxes.

There you go making sense again Calamity.

I confess that's a thought that's crossed my mind more than once.

All these people complaining about their tax burdens and their inability to create jobs yet finding millions to pour into political advertising.

Something is desperately wrong with that picture.

Excellent

That argument is, as they say, merely a distraction from the real issues and solutions. It's much like the Dems/Left whining about Romney's tax returns. It's fodder for the MSM, but it has nothing to do with solving this country's problems.

The us vs. rich argument is about Obama trying to get the have-not's [millions of whom pay no Federal Income taxes] to resent the haves [many of whom DO pay most of the Federal Income Taxes], and Obama's effort to avoid having to answer too many questions about HIS own record. That divisive effort is the exact opposite of what he promised to do when he ran for office!

Also, there are many jobs available that are going unfilled now, and many do not require college degrees! But, sometimes it's easier to harp that it's the wealthy who are keeping people down, or argue that the 'government' isn't doing enough to make people's life easier by providing more entitlements!

Oh, come on!
2001--tax cuts for the rich---the alleged "job creators."

Where are the %#$*^&%$ jobs!

They must have these tax cuts made permanent so more jobs can be created by the wealthy "job creators."

The GOP ran on "jobs, jobs, jobs" in 2010.
Where are the $%&*%^% jobs?

Give me an answer.

And I will demand to see Mitt Twitt's tax returns. The GOP demands women have no chocies with their bodies. I can demand some #$%^*% tax returns!

Where does one get the idea that any President is trying for class warfare. It's the knowing that a Presidential candidate uses tax loopholes and off-shore and foreign banking not to pay his FAIR share of taxes. Seems to me Mitt Twitt is the one creating class warfare!

Sal Monella · 08-21-2012, 10:28 AM

Cuts in personal income taxes don't create jobs. Except for cleaning people and gardners.

Koi · 08-21-2012, 11:20 AM

If the rich do not create jobs, why does the GOP label them as "job creators"? Seems somebody is lying to somebody.

ohhhhhhhhhm · 08-21-2012, 01:58 PM

The rich would create more jobs if (a) they weren't living on capital gains, and (b) taxes on coporations were higher. Jobs get created when corporations are looking for ways to decrease their taxes.

Living on capital gains means that almost all the jobs being created are in offshore slave workers.
