But on second thought liberals are happiest when they're pissed off and ranting about conservatives. It's the whole purpose of their being.

The Republicans need to reincarnate Ronald Reagen and
The Democrats need to reincarnate Franklin Roosevelt then
everybody would be happy.
In the meantime

All you hear from the GOP is the rich create jobs and by cutting there taxes the rich in turn will create jobs
So W cut taxes for the rich not once but twice and those cuts are still in effect and unlike all the BS from the GOP the truth is Obama did not add or raise taxes on these so called job creating saints
So taxes on these job creaters has been cut for 12 years now so where are these jobs
All four wanna be GOP presidents are screaming make the Bush tax cuts periment and give them even more tax cuts and it will put everyone back to work
Why do people buy in to this BULLSHIT?
it hasn't worked so far so way by keeping this policy going will all of asudden work
So far all the GOP plans to restore America is keep the the failed agenda going by
the poor
deregalating rules for big bussiness and wallstreet
Doing away with social security and medicare
starting more wars
and make sure the top one percent never pay any taxes
just the same tired old GOP FU to the working class
been there seen it lived it done it 2001-2008, 1980-1992,1968-1976
WAKE UP AMERICA
A GOP whitehouse will make us a thrid world country

The unemployment rate during most of W's presidency has been pretty good - around 5-6%. Since financial collapse (a consequence of lending practices not taxing), Obama has decided to keep the Bush tax cuts not so much to create jobs but because he knows if he raises taxes that will increase unemployment. But you know that already.

And you know that Obama decided to keep the tax cuts because it was the only way he could get the Republicans to agree to other measures that were necessary at the time.

Are you sure about that? You might want to look up the numbers of republicans and democrats in the house at that time.

Can you see it ladies and gentlemen? Can you see those beautiful green pants and that brilliant white shirt emblazoned with dollar signs--a gaudy display that would make the Riddler squeal in joy?

As you well know, I rarely agree with Tracy Coxx on anything political or economic. But he makes a claim in the post to which you refer, by inference, that raising taxes will increase unemployment. That is a position that can be debated and shown to be patently false. How about taking on that, Enoch Root? It would be a far greater contribution to the discussion.
