people need to understand that more jobs will be created if taxes are reduced - the electorate knows this - if he wants to get elected again, he needs to pledge to cut taxes more

i'm not convinced. sure, that is true to a point. but the households with wage earners that have not lost their jobs have plenty of spending power: tax cuts/rebates, lower mortgage payments free up a block of monthly cash, etc. every dollar you toss to a consumer, a good junk of that goes to buy foreign made products. if we could structure a solid tax proposal that would encourage employment within the US, stopping this offshore bleeding, you would do more to help those households that have lost jobs or have taken lesser paying jobs, and there are alot of those.
