Rate, AND... The Poverty Rate.Hike it back up to 60 or 70 percent, and then tell... "THE JOB CREATORS"...
For every point of unemployment reduction, you, as a class, get 5 points off your tax rate.
I'd have experts figure out how to come up with some similar formula for the poverty rate so they have to start paying everybody a Living Wage.
C'mon "JOB CREATORS"... put you monies where your mouths are.
