It's crock of crap that the GOP lets loose as they are the ones that benefit from the tax cuts along with their freak shills such as Limbore and Beck. Shame on them and I hope that they reap what they are sowing. If anyone suppports these fleas it is either because they are in the top 2% or blinded by partisanship hate for Obama. I will venture a guess that it is the latter. May your holiday be as happy as the people that the right wing has made suffer via greed, corruption and reptilian cold bloodedness.
Pelosi is saying that unemployment creates jobs.
How crazy is that one ?

Anyone can say that any policy can "create jobs".
Only DEMAND can create jobs. Until you get demand there is no reason to create more jobs.

This whole premise breaks down on the fact that rich people are entitled to the fruits of their labor too. At what income bracket do you lose the right to your property?

Explain to me how giving government more and more money makes the economy boom, or causes those overtaxed employers to hire more people? If we took 80% of all the wealth from the top 5%, how would this create an economic boom and create jobs, if the same people who invest and create jobs have been taxed out of 80% of their wealth? Or is the magic number 60% of their wealth? either way, tell me how.

During the Clinton years there was false wealth reported as being created, as corporations and companies were cooking the books, and vaporware was as substantial as the phony money being promised and assumed to actually exist.

During the 1940a and 50s the very wealthy and powerful hid their wealth, or used bribes and favors to get policy makers to allow for loopholes so these people could get away with paying taxes.

I'm thinking all you or Robert Creamer will have are some pie charts and statistics, and no real cogent explanation as to how business owners will create more jobs or invest and expand, if they hand government more of their wealth.

There is nothing trickling down.
The US is broke.
India and China are "trickling" down and creating jobs.

If no one is buying then where is the trickle down ?
If there is no demand then there is no reason to create jobs ?

The jobs are being created where the demand is the greatest..India and China. 10% growth seems like a boom to me.

Because they have drank the koolaid.
The government is going to "create" those jobs. They just need the rich people's money.

Hey, unemployment checks are the best way to stimulate the economy, and we have about 10 million unemployed that have been stimulating the economy for about two years, and.... ummm.... hmmm, it does not look like unemployment checks actually do stimulate the economy, so never mind.

So where will the money come from for their continued paychecks, if the employers close up shop due to lack of sufficient funds?

As usual, liberals are wrong.

Even the unemployed are entitled to their property. The problem you are seeing is people borrow from others in order to buy property but this doesnt make it yours.. Its the belongings of those you borrowed from until you pay them off..

It sucks to be unemployed and not be able to pay people what you owe, but no one is taking off of you what is yours, they just recoup what was theirs to begin with..

Why "the rich". They have endless amounts of money.
The rich will solve all of America's debt problems.

The government just needs to GET that money so they can make everything "right".

Utopia is right around the corner.
