All the republicans now have a mantra - whenever they say the word "taxes" they put the phrase "job-killing" in front of it. For example, "we must cut the budget, without those dastardly job-killing taxes." Heard something similar to that in the last several days? I have, ad naseum.

You know the obvious problem with that? The Bush tax cuts have been in place for many years, and we have sustained high unemployment. In fact, Obama, against the better judgment of his party, actually extended those tax cuts recently. So where are the jobs? If tax cuts are good for employment, why aren't we all just rolling in the dough with our dream jobs?

And where is the mainstream media in pointing this out? They should be questioning the republicans about this everytime they say it. But they are a bunch of chickens. The press better be careful, of they may befall the same problems that ol' Rupert Murdoch is facing.

"Job-killing taxes?" How about some followup?
