Mental illness.

Editor,

Tax breaks do not make jobs!

Demand for goods and services makes jobs, and in a depressed economy the way you stimulate demand is to spend tax dollars on infrastructure development and other government services to PUT PEOPLE TO WORK and PUT MONEY IN PEOPLE'S HANDS TO SPEND.

Republicans are idiots. Tax cuts (and their stupid religion of deregulation) created the mess this economy is in. I still can't figure out what kind of mental illness predisposes people to believe their "free market" nonsense -- which by the way they generally rationalize with lies.
