a question I want the talking head spewers (and the righties) to answer about the tax cuts
the right says that corp America, while sitting on wheel barrows of cash, won't start hiring because of the uncertainly about taxes, and for this reason, the tax cuts must be extended.

While I think this is bs, (demand drives hiring), what I want the media to ask is, if corp America won't hire now because of uncertainly about taxes, why will they hire if the tax cuts are extended only to expire in two years. i am not focusing on tax policy, but on hiring. And if they are to be made permanent, where does the money comes from?

1. Excuse me but if tax cuts created jobs where are those jobs ?
Why was JR losing 700,000 jobs a month after cutting taxes? I have yet to hear a wing nut nit wit answer those 2 questions. Do they really expect us to believe that now that the tax cuts are about to end that all of a sudden the jobs will come if they extend tax cuts, sorry not buying wing nut BS.

2. It is a callous game and we must not play it
"Businesses Holding America Hostage"

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/7/15/884730/-Blame-Businesses-For-Not-Hiring

the higher tax put back in place is only on monies after hiring is done... this is trash talk on the part of the Republicans. The American people must become educated on how the economy works and the games played

3. Their "Chicken & Egg" argument doesn't work or we'd have full employment.
But they have the M$M on their team, hawking tax cuts as the answer to everything.
