Maybe the tax revenue is so low because of the high rate of unemployment? If more people were working, there would be more taxpayers, right? More taxpayers equal more tax revenue. Just trying to see both sides....

I'm sure that is true. Gee, it's a shame that with all the big profits that the corporations made, they aren't hiring more people. That's what we are told is supposed to happen. Heck, with all the big profits I have seen by the huge corporations, there should be no unemployment!

My comment was not political, just a fact. It doesn't matter who supports which corporation, they all made big bucks and are keeping it to themselves.
Just found it odd that you didn't mention - both sides is all. LOL.

Didn't mention either side, just the fact that corporations made a whole lot of money and this was supposed to create jobs and it isn't. I guess I can understand why you thought I was putting down the pubs, since they are the ones saying that, but I was really just making a general observation. Both sides are screwups in my opinion.
