Yeah, I'd have to agree with ya', mouser...

The main argument back in 2001 for the tax cuts which went heavily toward the wealthyt is that they would invest that money in creating jobs for the rest of us... Well, that clearly didn't happen... They just bought bigger houses and boats with it... Building houses and boats, while it produces some short term employement for those who build them, is not creating jobs in the long run...

The tax cuts haven't done what the wealthy said they would... Let the tax cuts expire and use that money for the unemployed...
