    Even if government lowered taxes on businesses, big or small, that in itself does not mean businesses will hire people. When layoffs occur, work is not eliminated, just redistributed. When a company realizes that 10 people can do the work of 15, why would they hire 5 more people which would cost them, not only in hourly/salary, but also insurance cost(if any). Just in those costs, they are making up what they would have lost to taxes. To solve the unemployment problem, everything works around supply and demand. This applies not only to goods and services, but employment as well. The demand has to be there, there is not a high demand for workers, there for the supply of workers is skyrocketing. It's gonna take time(and who knows how long), we may never get past this just because of the political BS going on in government, regardless of which side your on.

    The Stimulus Bill was for "shovel ready jobs" that was going to put people back to work. That was an Obama lie, most of the money is going to social programs for slackers.

    Enforce import laws. That will take care of it. Follow the free trade agreement. The laws are there, no one is enforcing them.
