If corporate tax cuts created jobs, the United States would have something like 102% employment.

Or so...

Terry Parkhurst said...: If corporations in the States were willing to train Americans for the jobs there are, it might work; however, they - think Microsoft or Google - would rather just build schools in India, where it's believed that people are just naturally better at math, make 'em into programmers or other information technology folks, and get 'em a special workers permit to come here; and let them become citizens as soon as they can.

Those of us old enough to remember when Boeing used to offer 16 weeks training as a model maker or draftsman (as it was called), right out of high school, to folks here in the States, wonder how the government lets Microsoft and others get away with it. Does the word "lobbyist" mean anything to you?; 12:22 AM
