1) It is disingenuous at best (and I'm being generous), to draw conclusions about the effects of the tax cuts based on employment gains of the first two years of the recovery when no material tax cuts had taken effect. In fact, delayed implementation of tax cuts tend to dampen rather than stimulate economic activity in the interim.

2) Your source completely ignores the well-known discrepancy between the establishment survey - i.e. non-farm payrolls - and the household survey, which showed job gains of 2.2 million during the first two years of the recovery. As any honest economist will tell you, the establishment survey substantially misses job creation in smaller businesses and among the self-employed.

3) Troll alert.
