Someone is going to have to explain to me at some time how raising taxes on job-creators is going to create more jobs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am not for raising taxes in a recession, especially when it comes to job creators that we need so desperately to start creating jobs again.
If we want to increase revenue, we need more taxpayers. The way to do that is employ more people.
I get how devastating high taxes are to job creation.
When you raise taxes on small business, from 35% to 40%, you will kill jobs.
We cannot tax the same people we expect to create jobs. That is a recipe for keeping people out of work.
What I want to do is create more taxpayers, not more taxes.
I'm not going to raise taxes; I'm not going to have a wage increase for public employees.
We're going to cut corporate taxes, which will bring huge amounts of jobs back to the United States.
Let's stop talking about new taxes and start talking about creating new taxpayers, which basically means jobs.
All those predictions about how much economic growth will be created by this, all of those new jobs, would be created by the things we wanted - the extension of unemployment insurance and middle class tax cuts. An estate tax for millionaires adds exactly zero jobs. A tax cut for billionaires - virtually none.
