Better than that..

I do own a business and I gross about 440k a year..  I have overhead  
so that's cut down to less than 100k a year, roughly 33% goes to  
income taxes BUT there is the city tax on the property, the City tax  
on the items in the building that I paid sales tax on to buy, then  
there is the Parish tax (county) on the property and the Parish tax on  
the things inside that I already paid parish sales tax on when I  
purchased them...  so now lets take away another 10K..  now if I have  
an employee i will have to PAY matching Social Security and Medicare  
taxes out of my own pocket so if I hire another employee I will LOSE  
another $6k a year out of my pocket.  I don't think so.  Cut my taxes  
and it's a done deal..

I am not here to create jobs, the Mega Company is not here to create  
jobs.  They and I are here to make a profit for the shareholders, NOT  
to make money to give to those not working.  It is a nice social  
benefit to give money to people who aren't working while they look for  
work.  Gives them the time to find a job.  But if I go out of business  
then 5 other people lose their jobs and I get squat.
