Why don't cons understand that higher taxes and more onerous regulations creates jobs?

Look at the 50s, 60s and 70s when Democrats controlled our government, before Reagan. We had protective trade policies. Wages were high enough men could support their families and get ahead while wives stayed home with the kids.

We had strong unions. We had high taxes on the rich and low unemployment with plenty of good jobs. We had Social Security, Medicare, food stamps and welfare.

We had paid down our WWII debt and Ike paid cash for the National Highway System. We had strong infrastructure. Look at us now after 30 years of mostly Republicans controlling the government.

See the difference?

Regulation creates a level playing field, where rules are established to protect new comers to enterprise. Regulation also protects the consumer, by insuring products are safe and not harmful to the environment. These regulations ensure that strong corporations are not able to monopolize and keep upstarts from competing.

The more companies in an industrial sector, the more demand for workers. Higher revenues in the form of taxes allows government to fund existing services and to provide more services. Higher revenues to government also increase the value of currency, so the dollar buys more.

A stronger currency means consumers can buy more for the same pay, which drives up demand.

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.
