So how many jobs will cutting taxes for the top 2% create?
How will it save jobs? We have states borrowing tens of millions each week just to pay for them. Where do you think that money comes from? People aren't buying goods for themost part, except for food. They are making mortgage or rent payments. Utility payments. Ect... It's not expanding the economy.
What a fine fucking xtian you are. Jesus would be so proud of you.
Matthew 19:21
Quote:Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
Call it what you want but extending the unemployment benefits WILL stimulate the economy. Every dollar that the unemployed get goes right back into the companies and employers so they can sell more product and start hiring or rehiring employees.
Anyone who doesn't believe that has the brain of a worm.
