Did you find the conservatives' arguments that tax cuts create jobs a valid one in your observation? You should not have asked that question. The answer is clearly NO as evidenced by the dearth of newly created jobs stemming from Bush's tax cuts.

nope employed by large oil corp , retired early, took lump sum and gave it to the market. I strongly believe in tax cuts. most do democrats do not recognize that those making between 12,000 and 14,000 got a 5%tax cut and those making between 47,450 and 56,800 got a 12% tax cut. How many working earn between $47,000 and $56,800. They got a 12% tax cut under Bush program. Plus they got increase in child credits. In addition if any of these people had some stocks that issued dividends they no longer paid taxes on dividends. I do believe that tax cuts for small business gives them more room to expand business by putting money to work and thereby hiring more people. I do believe creating jobs , federal , state is not productive but just adds to the burden of needing more taxes to get out of debt. These types of jobs do not have pay for performance therefore no incentives to improve performance. We need much less federal state jobs imo and put these jobs out to private contractors who can competitively bid on them.
