10 years of Bush Tax Cuts and Where are the Jobs
Tax Cut Exemptions for Corporations have moved 43,000 American manufacturing plants to China for a loss of 3 million Good Paying American Jobs

Hedge Fund Managers paying a 15% Tax Rate on 100s of Millions in Income and Unemployment in America is over 16%

The Effective Tax Rate of 17% for Millionaires while School Teachers are taxed at over 21%

Corporations move profits overseas to avoid $60 Billion in Taxes annually while the American Middle Class has millions of their homes in foreclosures

And now they want to Cut Social Security and Medicaid Benefits because Corporate America and the Wealthy Elite think they are paying too much. Millions of Americans are Under-Employed working 2 or 3 Low Paying McJobs struggling to get by. The Corporate Tax Codes provide incentives to move American Jobs Overseas yet do not encourage Research and Development for Manufacturing here in the United States

If you want to get Re-Elected SHOW Me the Jobs



and keep your hands OFF the Social Security and Medicaid Benefits My TAXES Paid for

1. Where are they?
Somewhere else. And many probably won't come back.

4. It's a simple question.
The only people who I have heard ask it are Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow.

7. There's plenty of job growth. It just happens to be in China and India.

5. They trickled down the river to other places

And the only trickle down we see is the shit from the wealthy who are enjoying their tax cuts.

6. Tax cuts were never about "job creation" or protection
The Rethugs merely used them as tools to fool their rightwing constituency.

Rethugs are the tools of the global corporate capitalists, they only care about votes, and want to make it more and more difficult for the middle class and the poor to contribute to campaigns and causes.

Looks like they have been very successful, using the "threat" of communism, then terrorism as an excuse to enrich the MIC and the wealthy, while whittling away at our nation's infrastructure and manufacturing/technological base. People who must struggle to survive each and every day, do not have the money or the time to stop them, Rethugs know that weakens their opposition, and despite their supporters becoming a smaller and smaller percentage of the US population, they have a larger and larger percentage of the nation's wealth.
