Sorry, no, they use their profits to buy back their outstanding stock. Then they look around for other companies and real estate to buy. Then they give their CEO’s and officers giant bonuses. Then hide the rest of the money offshore so they don’t have to pay taxes on it.
They are NOT used for those purposes. They were supposed to be, but the money hasn’t been put to those purposes. Mostly, they go to huge bonuses for the CEOs and other officers. That money has not been reinvested, nor used to create jobs (as promised) – even with corporations raking in huge profits. Giving them more will NOT create jobs. They have lied and continue to do so.
Wrong. Tax cuts don’t create jobs, demand creates jobs. No matter what the tax rate, corperations won’t create jobs unless they can not do the job with the current workforce.
Yet racist is rampant. I was reading another blog that it sounded like all the cons were hillbillies from the deepest south, and from the darkest swamp. I won’t repeat them but they were terrible. The only thing people don’t like about the health care act is it was done on Obama’s watch. plus all the lies being told by fox noise and limbuagh.
“…….Like a true liberal you mis-quote Rush. Rush clearly stated over and over: “I hope O’s policies fail”.”.Nope, January 2009 Limbaugh said, “I hope he (Obama) fails.” Limbaugh modified the quote later in the face of public criticism to make it less inflammatory.
30 years of dribble down, then 3 years in which a Dem was able to slow the sinking somewhat, and the GOP is angry because the economy isn’t “cured”, LOL.

Tanking the economy has become central to the Republicans’ election strategy — true patriots that they are.

Re-electing Obama would be like backing up The Titanic only to hit the iceberg one more time.

That’s because all of them are either anti-choice bills, or tax cuts for the rich

At least get the dates right if you’re going to lie. That alleged incident happened in 2003, not 2002.

This cartoon is slightly dishonest. Companies are hiring workers… in China, Indonesia, South Korea, Vietnam,…

Darn, I almost forgot: THEY BUY OUR CONGRESSMEN TO MAKE BETTER TAX POLICY FOR THEMSELVES.

My opinion is that Republicans aren’t hiring people because Obama’s in charge. I don’t think race has anything to do with it.
