Let's see? People are unemployed. Companies get tax breaks. Companies now have more money to expand their business. To expand their business, they need to hire people. So, unemployed people get jobs. What is it you don't understand about that? flappy, I'm still waiting for your definition of liberal. Is there the word stupid in there somewhere?

<< The Republicans' plan to jump-start the economy is to give $1.4 billion (with a B) in tax breaks to IBM while, at the same time, urinating on the 415,000 people who, through no fault of their own, are now in the unemployment line. >> Get real. If this rant is the extent of your economic knowledge you had better give up. Understand this Companies do not pay taxes. The "company" is not some hidden monolithic entity that hides a tax reduction under the "company" mattress You and I pay the tax in increased costs for the services or products. Union workers pay the tax in reduced employment, pay and benefits. Investors pay the tax in reduced return on their investment. Every dime the "company" pays in taxes is loss to the worker, investor and consumer The company the union worker is employed by loses income by reduced ability to perform R & D to produce a better product and remain competitive and to purchase products from other "companies" that employ union workers. Ask IBM employees, or any "company" employee, their opinion of "company" tax break. Rant on. Ken

Flappy, your "perpetuation of a myth" theory is a myth itself. The country was in an acknowledged economic slowdown well prior to Bush even taking office..... Your post is just another petty, partisan, whining demolib smear. JLA

through no fault of their own There it is, the battle cry of the downtrodden masses. Thanks for reminding me. If I do well, then I should get a raise; if things go wrong, it is through no fault of my own. Got it.
