They bitch and moan about Obama spending $X to create Y jobs, when the numbers for what actually trickle down in tax cuts for the rich into (lower paying) jobs are about the same. So no, they're not effective at creating jobs. And you've got it right- the conservatives are all about big business, and screwing over the middle class to give the rich more money. Rather than helping the working middle class, they're going to stick to giving the rich money or nothing. The rich are going to cut jobs because of the higher taxes on them! No, they're going to shed jobs because the middle class has less to spend on disposable items! And by also cutting the programs that help the lower classes pay for extra things, they're going to get a double-whammy, furthering the spread between the rich and the poor... In short, they didn't create jobs. But we will lose jobs as people have less to spend in general- all to try to give more to the rich. |
im always impressed when dunno makes a post and this time is no different; couldn't have said it better if i said it myself.
the bill will never make it pass the senate
