Tax Cuts do no create Jobs. Why Do Republicans push this myth?



I'm a small business owner here in Atlanta Ga. We have a clothing store, and have an online clothing website. Both do very well, I can tell you right now, as a business owner, as a person who comes from a family of small business onwers`. Tax Cuts do not create jobs. Tax cuts adds profits into business owners pockets. If I get another 10% Tax cut, as the republicans are planning to push, lets say it moves and wins. If my current staff is can handle the volume, there is no incentive for me to hire new employees. That is the way it works. People like myself, like my husband, as most business owners, know business fluctuates. If there is more tax cuts, like us, most people will put their money away. Why would more tax cuts mean we would be compelled to hire more people? Those cuts should be marketed for what they really are. What they are is a Safe gaurd, a safe gaurd against a recession, a safe gaurd for owners, in case we get another 2007 - 2008 recession. And do not get me wrong, a safegaurd is good for the economy. It helps no one if my business goes under. But what it does do is a larger divide between the Upper Class vs Middle Class Vs Lower class. It makes me upset to see right wing politicians telling the public this will generate jobs.
