Tax Cuts - Job Growth

-- Jayson
PoliPundit.com

President Bush’s major slate of tax cuts – which included massive tax breaks for small businesses – were enacted back in May 2003.

Yeah, I know, that particular GOP accomplishment was so long ago, many of the dead felons who voted multiple times for John Kerry – in Philly, Milwaukee and Detroit – hadn’t yet obtained their paroles.

But that’s not germane to this post.

The effect of those tax cuts on total non-farm payroll employment can be illustrated as follows:

Total Payroll Jobs

May 2000 - 131.9 million.
May 2001 - 132.2 million.
May 2002 - 130.3 million.
May 2003 - 129.8 million.
May 2004 - 131.4 million.
May 2005 - 133.4 million.
Dec. 2005 - 134.5 million.

Go figure.

News You Won’t See in Print

Speaking of the labor markets, check this out:

December 1997

3.9 = whites.
9.9 = blacks.
7.5 = latinos.

On the other hand, there’s this:

December 2005

4.3 = whites.
9.3 = blacks.
6.0 = latinos.

Those are unemployment rates.

Who could have imagined we had such a comparatively-racist set of labor markets . . . under Clinton???
