Sure, on the other hand you have Republicans arguing the way to more jobs is lower taxes. Businesses do not hire more people because they got their taxes lowered. The hire people because they NEED to. I have yet to see a company that hires people because, HEY, we have a bunch of extra money... taxes do not enter the equation, if a company thinks they need more employees, they find a way to hire more employees. Period. But they do not hire simply because they are paying lower taxes.
