Obama’s Job Speech
Good speech, President Obama. Especially the part having nothing to do with policy where you ask us all to simply do better, to work for an America deserving of our legacy. Because despite the rhetoric, politicians don’t create jobs, invent, or teach. We do. But most of us benefit from leadership, and for that I thank you. Technically speaking, I’m all for cutting employer-paid payroll taxes — I buy that that makes it easier to employ, but it is sad that increasing top tax brackets is off the table. Historically speaking, there is simply no correlation between top income tax rates and job growth, prosperity, etc.
