I didn't assert that no jobs were created, .I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THAT ......and
I didn't mention any 5% level or any level....I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THAT shit either....but I do remember something about 8%, don't you ?
No it hasn't happened yet.....when jobs do return you'll be telling us how the Obama plan worked so well even if it takes until 2014 for the jobs to appear and the President is a republican....
Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
I was not a huge supporter of Obamacare, but I fail to see the "fiasco" yet. People keep promising it, and they may be right, but I have hardly seen it.
A strange thing happened w/ this past recession. Businesses found that working people were so terrified, that they'd work more hours for less, and not complain about it. So, businesses could get the same or even more done, with fewer personnel, and not feel as much need to keep hiring.
I'm not sure how you fix that, but it's outside the realm of gov't, I would think.
In order to justify their desire to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on the already very well-off, Republicans claimed they are defending small businesses from a tax increase.
"To those who are pushing the higher marginal rates, I say the burden is on you to show that you are not harming our primary job creators, small business," said Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa.
"This is about stopping a job-killing tax hike on small businesses during tough economic times," added Utah GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch.
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington, fewer than 2 percent of small businesses make enough to file in the top two income tax brackets.
Far more, 14 percent, claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is only available to low-income workers.
In fact, less than 3 percent of people with any business income at all—from an enterprise large or small—would be affected if the rates on the top two tax brackets increase, according to the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation.

You're letting your imagination get the best of you.....but if productivity is up and the labor stays constant, it sure as hell isn't because workers are working longer hours for less.....unless you're talking about illegal immigrants....a lot of workers are sitting on their asses collecting checks for 2+ years instead of working....I know some personally.....

Republicans also are fond of claiming that 50 percent of small business income claimed on personal tax returns is subject to the top two tax rates.
Says Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky anytime he gets the chance: "What they propose to do is raise taxes on the top two rates, which would capture about 50 percent of small business income."
Not only is this untrue, it is largely beside the point.
While half of all net business income claimed on personal returns is subjected to the top two tax rates, this includes an array of money that in no way resembles earnings from a small business.
Counting it all as small business income is to suggest that every partner in a law firm, everyone earning money from a hedge fund investment, and every passive investor in an oil or gas venture is an individual small business.
Making money from investing in real estate or a trust fund? Congratulations--to a Republican, you're a small business!
In fact, using the GOP metric, the $84 that President Bush made from passive oil investments in 2001 made him a small business owner.
Should we be counting on this kind of investment by the former president to create the massive number of jobs needed to counteract the effects of the Great Recession?
The fact is, exceedingly few small businesses are subject to the highest tax rates. Plus, at the end of the day, the income tax is levied on just that—income, not profits—so small business owners taking home $1 million per year ought to be taxed like anybody else making that much if they chose to report their small business earnings as income.
