Do you realize cutting taxes does NOT create jobs?

My parents were self employed and owned businesses my entire life. I can remember them buying equipment at the end of the year to offset taxes they would owe on their net income. You have to remember businesses pay taxes on what they net, not what they gross.

Deductions such as equipment purchases, investment in the business, salaries, etc. come off of the gross before they pay taxes. A retired business man wrote into our local paper and said the same thing that when he was in business he bought equipment and hired people to reduce his tax liability. I think what has happened is that businesses and the wealthy have become accustomed to these tax breaks and don't feel they should have to pay.

I really believe these tax breaks were probably one of the worst things that were done during the Bush administration. We were in the middle of two wars and were reducing everyone's tax liability. If tax cuts creates jobs where are they?

That's not a good analogy. By giving serious tax incentives by way of cuts, encourages economic activity. Which encourages investment, which encourages growth, which encourages hiring, which encourages people to go to work.

When people go to work it reduces the amount of people on the Government dime, which reduces welfare and unemployment and encourages more money in the way of tax revenues, which if being spent wisely, helps the citizens of the country.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
