Why, if that worked, did we lose thousands of jobs under Bush? The complete opposite happened.

Bush did that in 2001 and 2003, gave massive tax cuts to business, and that oversaw the greatest, fastest job loss of thousands of jobs, and a decline into the greatest recession since the Great Depression. Why didn't that work?

Why did Reagan have to raise taxes multiple times to help counter his rising unemployment?

History shows giving tax cuts does not create private sector jobs.
