And over the last several years, they have cut jobs despite big increases in profits.

Disgusting.

"Trickle Down" was/is a joke. And the Bush tax cuts, too. They created jobs, all right: in China, India, SE Asia, etc.

It angers me when these ****ers say, "If our taxes aren't cut, we'll leave (the country)!" And I want to say back to them, "Go ahead! You sent our jobs overseas and you've hidden your newfound swag in offshore tax havens...what's keeping you here? Just get the hell out!"

But they want our military as their global "hitmen."

And, isn't Koch Ind. considered a "small business"? I heard that here awhile ago, but am unable to do searches from work. I may have misinterpreted.
