There was a really good TEDx discussion on this point posted on here a few weeks back. Summarizing what we already know/believe, if tax cuts for wealthy created jobs, our country would be drowning in jobs right now.... We are not!

Let the fucking things expire as was intended when the tax cuts were passed with a "sunset" provision in them (because the congressional lapdogs wouldnt have the cajones to turn around and legislate the cuts out of existence).
