I think the GOP Tax Cuts For The Rich Jobs Plan is Fine.... With One Small Change...

[Blackhatjack]

Since the GOP is convinced that giving the Rich more tax cuts is how you create more jobs, let them put that theory to the test.

Let's give the top 1% of taxpayers an additional 10% tax cut with one condition: They are required to create and fill one NEW JOB at a living wage for every $1000.00 they save with their NEW tax cut. And if they fail to create and fill the requisite number of NEW JOBS they will pay tax at the effective rate of 90% on the income that was subject to the initial 10% tax cut.

According to the GOP the top 1% are the 'job creators' so let's use the 'carrot' and the 'stick' on them to get this job creation project going. Sounds like they will have this unemployment problem whipped in no time ....

1. The Taxcuts produced jobs in China, Asia, India, Tehran, Poland.

over the last 10 years. The top 2% are pretty much the
multinationals. Even small businesses have resorted to
the lure of cheap labor.

2. You fail to understand this one simple premise....

THE RICH NEVER NEGOTIATE.
They don't have to.
They are RICH.

They don't ask or negotiate.
They TELL you what to do and you do it.

That's the way it works.
IT'S GOD'S PLAN.

3. Now this is giving them what they want, with a little penalty for failing to perform as they promise

You give Repubs enough rope and they will hang themselves.

4. Maybe we should tax them at 50% during a recession and at 40% in good times.

Someone needs to pay for all that volatility that is inherent in the free market and causes the ranks of the unemployed to grow. Maybe then they wouldn't play so fast and loose with the economy - which they don't apologize for have you noticed.
