Will tax cuts make up for jobs lost to outsourcing or foreign workers brought in as replacements?


For example, http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/last-task-after-layoff-at-disney-train-foreign-replacements.html?_r=0 (So even if you take on a pile of debt to graduate from college you might still find yourself unemployed).

The TPP: With a corporate President (either Democrat or Republican) and enough corporate Republicans and Democrats it will pass. To think otherwise is really believing in unicorns and rainbows. Of course they might wait until after the next election so the bought and paid for corporate hacks can tell the electorate how they are against the TPP. The only thing that will keep it from passing is a Non-Corporate President and the only candidate running who fits that bill with any certainty is Sanders.

And with rising health insurance premiums any tax cut might just be redirected into the pockets of the Insurance Companies. Don't you just love this system of ours. What a hell of a racket.
