The Buffet tax increase is NOT a way to create jobs - it is a way to pay for them.

I understand that point. There was never any question in my mind about where you were coming from.

Here is an example of your dancing;

I don't see how my clarifying the "that" reference with as meaning taxes and jobs could be construed as dancing. It's way too simple and straight-forward to provoke dancing, even if I were inclined toward dancing, which I'm not.

This was your original statement. I understood it then perfectly. And I still understand it. It's about taxes and jobs.

"Good question. I would get us away from nation building and build up a nation - ours! I would tax people along the lines Buffet has urged and invest those monies on infrastructure here at home. I would push and push hard for alternate energy usage and development. I would support the biotech industry by encouraging research in stem cell research. ALL of these things create good jobs at home."

They wouldn't be cost prohibitive! I NEVER SAID THAT.

Sure you did. You said "They can't do that and do the Iraq thing and the Iran thing too!" Implying that there wouldn't be enough money to go around. You subsequently clarified your focus with, "Seems that any discussion on the economy is rather straightforward that we are talking MONEY." So your implication was clear. Not enough money. Too expensive. Cost prohibitive. Maybe there's some perceived nuance to my word choice that has exercised you. Seems to me that, in context, they mean pretty much the same thing.

Steve, everything was just fine until you wound up and asserted that I wanted to cut jobs. It's been like Alice having slipping through the rabbit hole since then. I doubt this is recoverable.
