If lower taxes on the rich help create jobs...then WHERE ARE OUR ****ING JOBS?
   
Sorry, I just want to scream that whenever I hear some right-wing gas bag argue that we should extend the tax cuts for the rich on the basis that lower taxes help create jobs. Well, these rich ****s have been enjoying lower taxes for almost a decade, so where are all the jobs that they should be creating? They aren't there because these rich ****s don't give a flying **** about creating jobs, it's just pure extortion, plain and simple. It's a con game. If Congress does extend their tax cuts, they'll just do what they've been doing for the past decade, stashing it away, or investing it in schemes that don't really create much in the way of jobs whatsoever. How many times do we have to be fed this "trickle down" nonsense before we realize that it's poison?

What you haven't heard this is the summer of recovery?
Socialism is saving the day. 
Obama promised laser like focus on job creation and his golf game.
It could be worse unemployment could be 14 or 15% just ask Obama.

Yes, the Keynesian experiment of gov't pumping money into the public sector has made things so much better.  The current economy can only be described as pure liberal genius.

Listen primitive, if there weren't so many people hurting because of the stupidity of those with your political and economic viewpoints, your silly little question would be funny.  Grow up, son.  We conservatives can't carry your idiot butt forever hoping one day you'll mature past the mental age of 3.

I love it when they use that term, "summer of recovery". lol
Have they seen the unemployment weekly numbers lately?! Stupid bastards!

The reason why, dear DUmmies, is because taxes ARE going up, and companies are NOT going to hire in a situation where the GDP is already an anemic 1 percent and likely to get worse when the tax hikes kick in come next January.

You want to see what Obama REALLY meant by hope and change?  Wait about five months.

Taxes will rise, healthcare costs will be government regulated, red tape just increase by a factor of 10, and Obama is so "business-oriented" that he pushed a moratorium that cost our economy something like 25,000 jobs in the south...and yet the O and the DUmmies can't figure out why business owners aren't willing to hire people with a degree in Womyn's studies.

I have the feeling the dominoes *may* start falling as early as October, since both businesses and traders have to start weaving 2011's tax/expense environment into their execution during that month.

Not to mention open enrollment for most companies happens around that time as well.  Nice timing for the midterms when they see how much their premiums are going up.

Hey DUmmies, have you noticed that your Lord Zero is not for capitalism?!!? Did he not pass the health care disaster?!? Did he not pass the financial reform bill?!!? Is not going to extend the Bush tax cuts?!? Is he not creating uncertainty in the stock market/economy?!? Did he not fight for the moratorium in the Gulf while other nations are pumping away?!?! YOU STUPID, STUPID DUmmies!!
