    at this point, nobody can defend Obama's shameful performance on jobs.

    The saddest part about this weak jobs number and rising unemployment rate is that Obama is making no effort to improve jobs. What's he doing instead? Threatening to raise taxes on the very people who create jobs. Implementing the largest tax increase and regulatory increase in the history of humankind with Obamacare. Strangling job growth in the energy sector with an activist EPA running wild. Threatening to gut our military early next year by slashing $500 billion from their budget.

    And he has not even bothered to meet with his Jobs Council in 6+ months.

    It's shameful. All he does is campaign, deceive, and divide. Our nation deserves much, much better.

    Oops!

    We need to bring back a democratic majority so a jobs bill can get passed.

    Republicans have passed jobs acts and tax reform acts in the House. Harry Reid stops them cold in the Senate. Republicans have passed budgets in the House. Harry Reid stops them cold in the Senate. Meanwhile, what role or involvement has Obama had in anything jobs related in the past year? NONE. He has only strangled job creation with his policies of higher taxes, more regulation and more litigation.

    It's time for the American public to realize that Obama has literally done nothing but campaign for the last year. He has abandoned his duties completely, and he SURE AS SCHIT hasn't created a business friendly climate for job creation. He openly mocks the efforts of small business owners -- you heard his speech in Roanoke, right? You didn't build that. The man is literally CLUELESS on how the economy works and how to create a climate for jobs. This should surprise no one, since he has never even had a real job.

    This is not correct. Taxes haven't been as low as they are now in 30 years.


    You can thank Citizens United for that

    Obama's policies have been for LOWER taxes, I guess it is too much to expect for you to tell the truth.

    Funny.

    Romney's economic advisor needs to educate you and your Republican ilk. While he has some reserves about fiscal policy, they are not those typically advocated for by economic know-nothings that want to propel the American economy into a fiscal cliff.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/business/economy/30view.html?_r=1

    While we're at it, throw in this for Romney economic policies. I'm assuming it's going to pass because Romney advisors, just like Obama advisors, are perfectly synchronized mouthpieces incapable of independent thought.

    Are you even aware of the debates going on nationally over where the tax rates will be after this year? Are you aware of the taxes and regulations contained in Obamacare? Did you even listen to the debate last year about the debt ceiling?

    I'm getting tired of correcting you, boy.

    I would also point out that of the 160,000 "jobs" that were "created" in July, 355,000 of those "jobs" came from a Bureau of Labor & Statitics seasonal adjustment -- i.e. not real jobs. Of course, this economics lesson is far too advanced for you simple boys to understand.

    Unemployment is at 15%. People are giving up their job searches after extended periods of being unemployed. This has a real human impact and is a national tragedy. Can you imagine not having the financial capacity to provide for your family? This should not happen in America.

    We deserve a leader who understands the economy, understands job creation, and has a track record of building businesses, creating jobs, and leading in a bi-partisan fashion. Obama has proven himself incapable of leading our economy out of this. The markets don't trust him. Europe's financial leaders definitely don't trust him -- they mock him. Confidence in him is in steep decline. It's time for a change.

    MA was 47th in job creation with Willard as governor. The only job creation he understands is shipping jobs overseas and closing business for profit.

    Speaking of...

    Romney’s Economic Plan Would Kill 360,000 Jobs In 2013 Alone

    Romney claim that his plan will create 12 million jobs is one that his economic advisers have been echoing. However, a Center for American Progress Action Fund analysis found that Romney plan would actually kill 360,000 jobs next year alone:

    In a white paper outlining his economic platform, Believe in America: Mitt Romney’s Plan for Jobs and Economic Growth, he offers a 59-point plan to create jobs and lower unemployment. Unfortunately, no amount of economic theory, real world evidence, basic arithmetic, or just plain logic could substantiate the belief that his 59-point jobs plan could create even 59 net new jobs in the U.S. economy…In total, by a conservative tally, Gov. Romney’s 59-point plan would actually cost the economy about 360,000 jobs in 2013 alone.

    Several of Romney’s proposals entail no change in policy, so its unclear how they would create jobs. Several others — including tax incentives for outsourcing — would actively undermine U.S. employment.

    Only tax raise I can think of is in the Healthcare bill, and it doesn't take effect until 2014 (Except for the suntanning surcharge, but sin taxes don't fall into the same threshold, IMO). Meanwhile, the tax breaks contained in HCR went into effect immediately.

    If anything about the past 4 years has been business unfriendly, it is the inability to pass long-term tax law.
