TwoBi, we can't keep giving tax cuts that primarily benefit the upper 2% of income earners, and to Corps expecting them to create jobs ... maybe if we were still an industrialized nation it might stand a better chance of working. But, we're primarily moving on ... the lower middle of America needs to move as well, and that means retooling and retraining for today's jobs needs. That means investing in "education"; we're really not doing that. In the meantime, we're losing revenue because the rich have it, and won't give it up, and the poor simply don't have it to give. Just wait until the big monopolies come back, and they ARE coming back because of deregulation AGAIN. Less competition = vulture capitalism.
Never said we need to give more tax cuts and I can agree with everything else you said here - I re-train people for higher technology jobs, remember. But it doesn't take Socialism to correct these issues. It boils down to the left, once again, using the younger generation for votes. Dangle that carrot with promises.
