First of all I fail to see how taxing people sustains jobs. You said it, "When you make military cuts, you're not just removing tanks and guns. You're also sending a lot of people to the unemployment line." So, to fund…
you sure as hell don't tax people to create jobs vs military cuts ... sending a lot of people to the unemployment line. so, you don't tax people to sustain jobs, yet you don't cut jobs to lower spending. That is…
