[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1272617, member: 17969"] Meninbrown, can you demonstrate a time where allowing businesses to do whatever they wanted created jobs? Reagan cut the taxes of the top 1% (corporations) and in his first two years in office, his unemployment rate skyrockted to 10.7%. Bush2 cut taxes for the top 1% and he took the unemployment rate from 4.0% to 7.8% and growing in 8 years. Herbert Hoover did the same thing and put the country into a deep depression. Even if you cut the taxes for corporations to ZERO , they would still leave this country and move overseas. IT ISNT about the taxes MB, its about escaping the american workers. The last thing the republicans or corporations want to do is pay a living wage with benefits of any kind. If you believe otherwise, you are severely misinformed. Lets look at the republican record and YOU. ( i am assuming you are a hourly UPS worker) Just last year, the republicans in the house under John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan, passed a bill that would have eliminated OVERTIME pay for you and instead, given you days off without pay for your overtime hours. Additionally, the employer had up to ONE YEAR to actually give you that time off, or compensate you for the time. How does that help the american workers?

This is how the republicans help the american worker, by eliminating overtime pay. TOS. [/QUOTE]
