Businesses operate in order to make profit, not to address demand. A salesman's job is to create demand where once there was none. This is how new products are sold, like typewriters and high power vacuum cleaners. But the business will not operate without PROFIT. Profitability is what allows business to create new jobs, and what motivates small businesses to form and entrepeneurs to take risks. Taxes directly REDUCE profit. Therefore taxes kill jobs. Conversely, reducing taxes creates jobs except in the left's miserable world view.

Look Darryl, taxing people more in order to create jobs has not worked, as evidenced by this past year's profligate spending and hemorrhaging of jobs in the private sector. Unemployment is up. Your argument rings hollow in the face of historical evidence. The government seeks arbitrary control over private industries. Who will risk their capital in an environment where profit is under assault and their right to run their business without government regulation is nonexistent? Who wants to subject their capital to massive tax levies where the chances of making a profit are that much slimmer? Nobody!
