Because history shows that cutting taxes doesn't create jobs.

The fact is that businesses need to remain profitable to remain in business.

The facts:
We are in the worse recession recovery ever.
Taxes have never been lower.
The top 10 businesses in the United States paid zero income tax last year.
Corporate profits were record last year.

Our economy is a disaster. Explain why trickle-down theories you are proposing have never actually worked in this country in the past 100 years, and are literally not working right now.
