Uh huh.
Starting the same baloney and rehashing it in numerous threads is so,...
Pointless trying to change my posting style, ah well.

Find someone that won't take advantage of you and have them check how many new ones you have.
You don't realize what just happened.

You are completely contradicting yourself, trying to create an artificial difference between tax cuts and targeted tax cuts.

Here is the thing: looking at a limited geographical market (one city vs. another, one state vs. another), tax cuts or raises ABSOLUTELY affect employment within that limited geographical market.

Yes, there might be moves between markets, and NET among ALL markets, there might not be a change, but that's NOT what we're discussing here.
There is ALWAYS some place that doesn't raise taxes, and that place will benefit from whatever place that DOES raise taxes.
All your ULTRA-macroeconomic blah blah is completely theoretical, and has no bearing whatsoever on cities, states or the whole US.

Hey turdle. Don't you just hate being wrong all the time? Haha..

This is why turtle has me on ignore. He hates it when my empirical data show that he is wrong time after time.


Illinois tax hike vs. NJ tax cuts/budget cuts

Who's the biggest loser? New Jersey and Chris Christie

Jan 2010
---------
Illinois: 11.4% unemployment
New Jersey: 9.7% unemployment

May 2012
----------
Illinois: 8.6% unemployment (Down 2.8%)
New Jersey: 9.2% unemployment (Down 0.5%)

Oh, you mean the bridge built with infrastructure spending by the government which resulted in hundreds of jobs created?

How many bridges are built with government infrastructure spending and how many bridges are built with tax cuts?

That would be the bridge built with my and other's tax money. People create jobs. The government wastes and loses money. Nothing the government (federal) has done in the last half century has worked well. The federal government should revert to the duties originally established and leave the rest to the states. Education is just one example of the total failure when the federal government gets involved where it shouldn't.

Leave it to the states?

Because states aren't "government". Haha...

Isn't education mostly run and manage on a state and city level?

Perhaps the United States Federal government, its not the case in all countries. The bureaucratic system causes a lot of the waste in the US government. Perhaps less bureaucracy would solve things.
