Instead of creating new jobs, Republicans gave tax cuts to companies that send jobs overseas.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Today's tax cuts provide yet another illustration of the Republicans' fiscally irresponsible economic policies that ignore the needs of America's middle class, students, and working families.
Now you have a choice: we can give more tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, or we can start rewarding companies that open new plants and train new workers and create new jobs here, in the United States of America.
There are a lot of things you can say about the Bush tax cuts, but you can't say they didn't work.
I still believe a majority of Republicans are for income tax cuts.
We certainly could have voted on making the middle-class tax cuts and tax cuts for working families permanent had the Republicans not insisted that the only way they would support those tax breaks is if we also added $700 billion to the deficit to give tax breaks to the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans. That's what was really disturbing.
There are some Republicans who say that any time you raise new revenue, you have to have a tax cut to match it. I am not one of those Republicans.
Tax cuts create more jobs and this is something we as Republicans have to do a better job of marketing.
We're going to cut corporate taxes, which will bring huge amounts of jobs back to the United States.
Republicans in Congress boosted the economy by cutting taxes and ending programs that don't work.
Republicans are not going to play I-told-you-so, but it is pretty obvious that the tax reductions passed in 2003 helped Americans dig out of a recession and get back to work.
