    lol the popularity of the word "trickle down" over the last 3 years nicely sums up everyone's state of affairs.

    Overused word when they were promising it.
    Overused word when the people were trying to comprehend it.
    Now it seems to have gone quiet because it's time for **** to actually trickle down.

    Huh? Who's arguing high taxes lower unemployment? High taxes mean more money for the government to pay for basic functions like paying teachers building roads or paying off the debt.

    I believe it is the rich people who are claiming that lower taxes means they higher more. I honestly don't give a flying **** if higher taxes doesn't lower unemployment in the private sector.

    Its not going to change as long as the middle class Americans keep voting for the party that keeps ****ing them over. 400 of the richest Americans make more than the other 150 million combined...

    they created jobs,

    in china, india, south america, etc. and the sooner both sides stop lying to the american people that we can fix these problems with simple tax policy is the day we actually start working on bringing jobs back here

    i had an an interview with a company last week that said half the department was moved to manila, and the only thing i thought was that it was a matter of time before companies started outsourcing my type of job

    You need to save the extra business revenue to pay CEO's $25m bonuses. Sorry...$3-$4m just won't cut it anymore. That cannot be done if the margins don't look good.

    Wait, sure it can...I forgot about the golden parachutes!

    Yipee!

    This, as someone posted on this BBS awhile back, the rich will buy 100 Bentleys but they won't buy 10,000 Chevrolets. Obviously you can see the benefit in more jobs to build, sell, and service those Chevies than the jobs created to meet the demand for the Bentleys.

    I dont think the jobs will come until Europe is solved. There is just too much risk for businesses to expand right now, and demand won't pick up until the Euro is stabilized.
