Will businesses lay off more domestic workers and hire lower paid foreign workers to fill those newly created positions?
This concern isn't impacted by tax cuts.

Unemployment tends to cause problems. To not have these problems it seems to me the thing to do would be to create jobs, not make more people dependant on the government.

I think that we should look at how many have dropped out of labor force since the end of 1999 and beginning of 2000.

Increasing purchasing power doesn't boost the economy. Only increasing productive power can do that. If people drain their resources faster, they have less to invest in the future. This can create a temporary boom, but inevitably results in a later bust.

tax cut does not affect the overall spending, the end result is more individual spending and less government spending. does this have anything to do with job creation in certain country? please also note: tax cut won't be a big amount for individual. so the effect is limited.

I am sure there are more than 3 times more than 65000 skilled unemployed people right now in the country.

Just my two cents:
The tax cut as presently structured helps the rich more than the poor. (How many people do you really know who recieve large portions of their income through stock options or capital gains?) With the increasing amount of offshoring going on it seems to make sense that the wealthy take their newly minted capital and spend it where the bang for the buck is the greatest (certainly not in the US).
The worst part about the tax cut is not the redistribution of wealth, it's the evil way that it is being presented as a great opportunity for *all* Americans. Hogwash.

I haven't examined the tax code, but got my figure from Sean Hannity's talk show who said it would be $2,000 for a family of 4. So, maybe that's just 2-3 kids. I know there are now several education type credits in effect already that were passed/increased by Bush, and are scheduled to incraese again, and maybe Hannity is including them in his calculation. I myself, with no dependents, am getting back an extra $1,000 due to the Bush education credits alone.

Dubya really acts as his own worst enemy when he keeps harping on how the tax cut is going to "encourage entrepreneurs".
