...to challenge the self proclaimed moniker "job creators" and seek less regressive taxation system

Created by S.M. on January 16, 2014

Overlay a graph of unemployment, job creation and tax rates from President Hoover, 1929-33 to present, at best shows no relationship between tax rates and job creation rates; at worst it shows a inverse relationship. Specifically tax rates on wealthy Americans from Bush era tax levels (even after lapsing during current administration) are the lowest since Hoover (with the exception of brief time during 1980's). With an 80 year record low tax rate on the "Job Creators" job creation should be record breaking - it is not. Therefore, it should be challenged each time the argument for lower taxes equal investment, job creation and more prosperity for the 99%
