Republican Jobs Plan: Bigger Tax Cuts For The Rich - (this is on TOP of the Bush tax cuts)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/03/republican-jobs-plan-tax-cuts-rich_n_669539.html

After opposing, stalling, stonewalling and filibustering almost every recession-related bill for the past year, Republican lawmakers have finally proposed a jobs plan of their own: a bigger, more expensive version of George W. Bush's tax cuts for the rich.

The Economic Freedom Act of 2010 -- introduced by Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) -- proposes deep tax cuts favoring the wealthiest in America, a reduction in regulatory oversight and the elimination of a federal tax on the estates of millionaires, which will allow wealthy investors to escape taxes entirely on a significant portion of their income.

Republicans say the bill will create jobs where President Obama's policies have failed to do so.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said in a conference call on Tuesday that the GOP's proposal will not only fail to stimulate job growth, but will triple the deficit by 2015 and devastate an already-shrinking American middle class.

1. Another reason to keep the Democrats in power.
With Republicans, nothing will be done.

2. Everything can be fixed with a tax cut for the wealthy
Unemployment high, more tax cuts for the rich
Economy sucks, more tax cuts for the rich
Worried about deficits, more tax cuts for the rich
Want big donations for your campaign, more tax cuts for the rich

The only thing that trickles downhill is the shit coming out of the republicans mouth.

3. Then I would ask them to show where the jobs will be created
And creating jobs in China, India, Mexico, and any other foreign country do not count
