5. Why oh why do Republicans assume that tax relief for business ...
will somehow lead to them creating more jobs. They either use that extra money to pad bonuses or they are going to hoard it somewhere until the economy recovers.

I don't know of any business LARGE OR SMALL that decides to expand where there is no demand.

People are being tight with their money. Wages are down. Tax cuts for business aren't going to do jack shit. I agree that we propbably shouldn't raise taxes any more, but corporate side is NOT where we need to make the tax cuts.

(OH, and BTW Carly, Obama's cuts very much target SMALL BUSINESS).
