Republicans pitching jobs plan to Iowa voters

The rest of the world is offering lower taxes so that is where the jobs are. If you want jobs you have to either compete or having something special for them to want to be here.

I guess having 47% of our businesses pay no federal taxes isn't enough

Gary, most of the largest corporations don't even pay near the official corporate tax rate of 35%, thanks to ridiculous loopholes that allow them to legally evade paying taxes as well as even more obscene government subsidies they receive paid for by an ever-declining tax base of workers who toil for increasingly less money. They've never been more flush with surplus cash at any point in history than the present. Yet instead of investing in expanded production ventures that would employ more people, increase consumer demand, and lead to profitability through traditional laws of free market economics, they either sit on the cash, or use it in a manner that creates no actual tangible wealth by shifting it around in the socially subsidized casino known as Wall St. Meanwhile, the true engines of economic growth, small businesses and middle-class professionals earning less than $200K-who lack the resources that enable the wealthiest to evade taxes, are saddled with the burden of covering the fiscal shortfalls created by allowing the wealthiest corporations to evade paying their fair shares. The fact that our government has enabled the top 1% to accrue over 40% of the nation's collective wealth without reciprocally supporting the system that has enabled them to amass such obscene wealth is criminal. Even though it started primarily with the GOP, it's no longer merely a partisan issue, as both major parties have been effectively corrupted by corporate special interests-with only a scant few un-corrupted and honest politicians remaining unscathed. Corporate corruption is unfortunately so intrinsically interwoven into our government now that I don't think it's possible to reform the system without a complete revolutionary overhaul.

Capitalism: the only jobs plan that works.

Edward, if by capitalism you're referring to the current operative system in the U.S., which:

1) encourages profiteering through contraction/outsourcing rather than innovation, competence, and expansion; 2) allows private institutions to escape accountability through the natural laws of free market economics by declaring them "too big to fail," and then rewards them for their failure and incompetence with corporate welfare; and 3) hypocritically contradicts true free market egalitarianism through a biased fiscal system that is designed to funnel and concentrate wealth into the possession of the already wealthy through favorable tax policies, loopholes, and generous subsidies, while also stymieing or preventing any wealth accrual among the remaining population through punitive and regressive tax codes and laws,

then you need to actually learn about economics and stop allowing yourself to be brainwashed by Faux Noise and Lush Dim-bulb.

There is no jobs plan. The GOP "jobs plan" is to enhance the business climate
with fewer regulations and tax cuts on the theory they will be incentivized to
hire more people to produce more. Trouble is, they can't sell what they produce
right now. Where will the demand come from?

No, you didn't miss it. There is no jobs plan, just rhetoric.

So you talking about Oblama, all athletes and actors, Soros, Moore, Gates, Buffet and so on. I am part of the 53% that pays taxes, so don't include me in the 99%

Rep...you lie. anyone who works pays taxes....and most of us are supporting the wealthy lard #$%$ who obtain corporate wealth and sit on it...not creating jobs. They have been given tax break after tax break, while my taxes go up to support them. Wake up and quit being a dummy!

Truth your full it, Most people that work get the benefits of roads, public education, and a society protected by our military where you can spout off your #$%$ and yes taxes are collected from their check and they get all that back and more when they file. I am single with no children make 132k per year and get screwed into paying for your kids poor education.

China

Shovel-ready, for sure!
