The theory behind this line of thinking is "give the job creators a tax break, they'll create jobs". Okay, the job creators have their tax breaks right now, but I don't see many jobs being created. The numbers aren't really moving.
In other words, the tax breaks for the job creators aren't creating jobs.
If you remove tax breaks that don't create jobs, will jobs continue to not be created by the job creators? Are they going to say "we'll continue to not create jobs if you take away our tax breaks"?
