Dean Baker: Only Spending Can Save Us Now

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

2. Spending...

and every nickel of it should come from windfall profits taxes on corporations.

Remember how we had to lower their tax rates because they're the "job creators" and all that? Well since they're not using their tax breaks to create jobs, I want my fucking money back. They're sitting on a trillion or more in cash that was SUPPOSED to be creating new jobs for Americans, yet all they're doing is shipping jobs elsewhere or importing employees who will work for a bucket of fish heads per week.

Fuck them. I don't care if they do Go Galt on us -- just leave my cash behind.
