OK Mitt - We Gave Tax Breaks To The Rich For How Many Years Now - Where's The Jobs?.....

Bush's tax cuts just decimated our economy along with his two wars and Part D. If you are making the argument that by letting the tax breaks expire - that it will hurt the job creators - well that argument won't work anymore. We tried it and it didn't work. Time to let them expire and climb out of this hole that Bush and you Repugs left us with. You have no credibility - Mitt.

In fact, the jobs won't come back until we provide the rich with a negative income tax so that the more they steal--I mean, earn, the more the government pays them.

We need to raise taxes on the poor; the only way to make them stop being poor is to punish them for it through the tax code.
