Is it a coincidence that the most loyal republican voters still believe that tax cuts?

that tax cuts for the wealthy create jobs also are more likely to believe that the story of Noah's ark is an accurate description of an actual historical event?

Update:

@wtinc Reagan embarked on the largest peace time spending in our history, did you forget that?

Even so the job situation was not rosy during the reagan years, the historical unemployment numbers would happen after clinton raised the taxes on the wealthy, Were you even alive when reagan was in office?Do YOU believe in Noah's ark?

    If I don't believe tax cuts for the rich will create jobs I must believe the opposite. Tax increases on the rich will create jobs. And I'd have to be an idiot to believe that...

    Wow, you do realize that one of the biggest reasons that so many companies are not SPENDING or EXPANDING is that the Democrats in Government haven't said what they will do next to harm business growth. Energy companies are not building new plants since it takes 5 to 10 years to build a small one and 10 to 20 years to build a large one. You need stable known regulations to work with. There is way too much instability at the Federal level mainly do to the DEMOCRATS not doing anything productive for three years but to pay people NOT TO WORK. Even CNN last year admitted that prolong unemployment benefits do more harm to businesses then it helps people.

    Also, in case you are wondering, WE ALL GOT TAX CUTS under Bush not just the wealth. Finally, according to the Federal Reserve and the CBO even if we did raise taxes for the wealthy it would only bring in roughly 50 billion a year with spending being 1300 billion over what we bring in. With the additional tax revenue we would still be spending 1200 BILLION doing major rounding a year more then we bring in.

    GET A CLUE.

    Tax cuts do help in one way another but it also has to tie in with something else. But you can't rely on the rich for everything. We have to start looking at ourselves. They aren't always a bank to dip into.

    Dear my bad. Lets look at the fact. Regan cut taxes and got most everyone back to work. How hard is it for your liberals to understand that. Wake up. Stop talking about what has worked in the past and start to recognize that what Obama is trying has failed, failed, failed, failed. Time to change your thinking and your president and most of congress.
