Skullsplitter, you rock! As you have read, many Americans are too stupid to know that America operates an economy based on capitalism. As someone who
has been in charge of R&D for a company and intricately involved in the engineering, manufacturing and sale of all of the good we manufacture, I have
never seen tax breaks create one job. Every tax break I have seen went straight to the owners/stockholders. Most Americans are too stupid to know that
in capitalist economies, supply and demand are what determines jobs and salaries. It didn't matter how many tax cuts you gave us, we didn't and
won't hire anyone unless demand for our product increases. Period. The only way to do that is to put money in the hands of the people who spend it,
the people. Of course, Bush claims he did this, but what he did was cut some taxes for the middle class while cutting federal aid to the states, which
actually, increased their local taxes so much that it increased their taxes in total. They always do that, but most Americans are too dumb to figure
that out. I believe it was Gore Vidal who refered to our country as, "The United States of Amnesia." How correct he is. If I ever get my own
country, I want the people who voted for Bush as my citizens. I won't have to accomplish anything positive, I'll make them pay more in taxes, I'll
make them less safe, then I will tell them I did the opposite. Oh, BTW, there are bad people in other countries, so don't criticize me or you're a
traitor!...LOL.
