Now, that is NOT what is stated in the small part cited above, but the small size of the snippet is small do to DU's rules. If you want details you have to read the actual Article.

All Reich is saying that Business is NEVER going to hire workers UNLESS it makes them money, thus the only way to get this economy moving is for the GOVERNMENT to do something about getting money to Workers. The fastest and most efficient way is to increase the Earned Income Credit and reduce payroll taxes with those tax cuts being paid for by removing the Cap on Social Security Taxes AND increasing other taxes on the top 1% of the population.
