See, I think your statement, whether or not you intended it to do so, highlights the belief that government creates jobs. That in my personal view is Bull. Government can pave the way by creating stability through policy, and legislation that paves the way toward long term stability, then you would get companies creating the jobs.
I think your attempt to dismiss my question rather than give me what you think is also telling. So, I give it another go. Would you like to answer it now?

No jobs created here ???? That's funny, they just took applications here for 500 new jobs at Appliance Park for a new line of energy efficient washers and dryers.
I would disagree. I'm of the opinion that voting in America is a right, not a privilage.I'd suggest that representation without sufficient taxation is a problem
so is a biased media
1) billionaire candidates have an advantage over mere millionaire or well off candidates
2) candidates who cause major media figures to have warm tingling feelings will have a huge advantage in getting their message (or lack thereof ) out
how is a company making a profit destroying the economy. Do you know who owns GE stock?

I agree to an extent. I'm of the opinion that biased media is just providing what their viewers want.
You would have to limit campaign funding to whatever the government would provide as well as "X" amount of air time allocated to each canidate.
Of course, that is an issue. I would ask this, are the adds ran by PAC money more or less biased than any news source? Are the million or so people that watch only one news program or channel regiliously really trying to get the news or just validate their preconcieved notions?
all the same, as far as GE is concerned, you gotta thank them for giving Republicans a poster-child for our tax-code-simplification platform.
I said destroying the country not the economy...they and others are sucking the life out of the US
No actually they are the poster child for raising taxs on the rich and getting rid of loopholes out of THIS tax code and raising regulations and imposing tariffs on chinese crap and ending ALL tax payer subisidies that assure corporations pay no taxs and the rich pay less
Jobs are created by demand for goods and services, if there is no demand the companies don't hire. Pretty simple.And this in my view is the problem....Can you tell me wiseone, who is it that creates the jobs, and why they are not doing so right now?

under any objective standard the rich pay too much and everyone else pays too little
as I noted in a recent other post-in Euro socialist societies, the rich pay a bit more but they pay the same share of the tax burden as their share of the income. In the USA the richest few percent pay far more of the tax burden than their share of the income and EVERYONE ELSE PAYS FAR LESS.

Of course, which is part of the reason the founders were against a direct democracy and chose to insitute a more representative form of government. You propose going a step futher and limiting those that are represented.I think its wrong that 10 people who are receiving welfare can vote up their welfare payments as much as they want from 3 guys who are paying net taxes.
I want a tax system that prevents anyone from being able to increase the taxes on others without also paying a proportionately equal tax hike themselves
Thats right and cutting taxs has not a thing to do with it...or corps running to china either...its all about greed.

My guess would be a lot of rich people who aren't paying much tax on their earnings.
I don't believe government creates jobs, and I agree they need to set the stage for economic growth, for personal liberties to be explored, and to allow for people to better themselves and their situation as a result of their own efforts.
As to your question there's no answer, I can't say "X is who creates jobs" and "Y is why they aren't doing so." Its not that simple, the economy can't be summed up in two questions. I suppose the most specific answer I can give to that very vague and broad question is that businesses create most jobs, aside from public service. And why they aren't may be because they view an expansion of business wouldn't be profitable for that company, for example a manufacturer wouldn't manufacture more if didn't believe its additional product could be sold, and therefore won't hire more workers because they don't need to build anything more. Additionally they may want to expand in the US however a government policy makes the cost of business too high, or impractical. Or maybe they want to expand and there aren't enough potential employees with the skill set they require. Or maybe there are those with the skill sets the company needs, however due to the Cost of Living and Standard of Living in the US they may demand/require wages higher than those in other places, like China, may demand/require to survive.

Some of us moved those out of the US markets when GWB was elected to a second term. It was obvious to me that a crash was coming if we continued down the path he had us on.
Wow! Five hundred whole jobs! Well, the recession is over.
Nope the rich dont pay enough, they pay far less than half of what they did and some pay NOTHING...they need to pay far more and to stop their whining...no one believes them or listens to it anymore...its the little boy crying wolf in real life

Of course, I would argue....the moment 70% of voters are on welfare there's major issues and maybe there needs to be some drastic change.
Once again, I would ask this. A huge majority of Americans support a tax increase on the rich. How much have their taxes gone up? You make it seem as if the founders didn't ever consider this at all. I would argue they were elitists. When they spoke of protecting the "minority" a lot of times they meant the land owners and large plantation owners.
That's because it's the rich who have most of the money, and they can afford it while the poor cannot.
complete BS
if you have a TV or a cell phone you can afford a little tax
I moved my pension funds to Europe (Britain) in 2004 and then to Asia after Tony Blair ran the Brits ship aground. My funds are still making money. That is my retirement funding and just because my government isn't ethical enough or smart enough to keep its financial institutions under wraps doesn't mean I am required to be stupid as well.? you run a pension fund ? I thought you were retired? so instead you moved to... Europe?
