We Don't Need No Stinking Jobs
Sunday, July 10, 2011 at 11:22AM Actions speak louder than words and the inaction of the Obama administration is yelling 'We Don't Need No Stinking Jobs'. In fact we still have money to spend because we can always raise more taxes. (I might be paraphrasing a little here) Is this the new version of 'Let Them Eat Cake!'?
Once again 'The Employment Situation' monthly report for June was released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing the failure to create jobs theme has continued.
How much longer must we collectively keep being slapped in the face with obvious fallacies such as 'we must spend more to create jobs'?
I ask you this: How many jobs have been created by raising taxes in our history? What is more conducive to encourage a small business owner to create a new job? Taxes, onerous regulations, mandates for health care insurance, cap-and-trade energy tax, etc.
Common sense tells us the answer to these questions but common sense and politics are often like oil and water. When they are forcibly put together the results can be very nice but often they repel each other much like Obama and jobs.
Here is a nice video from Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers that asks 'Where Are the Jobs?'
