BTW, the latest food stamp statistics are out and we're at another all time high....sigh... NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Nearly 15% of the U.S. population relied on food stamps in May, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. The number of Americans using the government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) -- more commonly referred to as food stamps -- shot to an all-time high of 45.8 million in May, the USDA reported. That's up 12% from a year ago, and 34% higher than two years ago. |

I read that corporate profits are the only real bright spot in the recent economic news, but the higher profits do not seem to translate into more jobs as the conservative economic concept states. Maybe it will just take a few more decades for the "trickle down" to be seen .... unless that trickle is the warm yellowish fluid coming from the boardrooms as that trickles down rather quickly. |

Ah, so your solution to the economic problems is to increase taxes? |

I have always been amazed at the claim of tax cuts creating jobs, since the creation of jobs removes the costs directly from taxable income. Most companies do not hire workers unless there is going to be a financial benefit, not that it will impact the taxes paid on profits in some way. Usually, it appears the claims are made either by those who do not seem to understand how taxes are calculated or are desgined to mislead an audience which does not know how taxes are calculated. |
