I'm not even advocating lowering their taxes. (I'm actually against extending the Bush cuts for the wealthy.) I'm just saying, lower taxes *do* lead to more jobs in most any context that I can see. Of course, I also said earlier that "more jobs" is not necessarily the best thing either. It depends on what kind of jobs they are and, I'll add, whether those jobs are in strong, stable middle-class societies. I totally agree with you about needing to be most concerned about "the people farther down the line". -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
