I think the actual number is closer to 2.5 million ....that's 2.5 million people that aren't collecting social benefits or unemployment, are paying taxes and feeling good about themselves...plus that money didn't just disappear, it's still circulating in the economy, albeit from the top-down.....that's what has to get better in this new jobs stimulus package...I favor a bigger tax credit for families with dependent children, tax credit for businesses making less than a couple million a year, the removal of the Social Security cap to insure the long-term stability of that program and the borrowing capacity of the government...closing tax loopholes on corporations and a minimum effective taxable rate which every business will have to pay....I favor taxing businesses that chose to hire workers in China for less than a dollar a day at a higher rate than businesses that hire American workers...I favor enforcing more stringent international laws that today allow businesses to hide billions of dollars in profits in foreign accounts while 50% of children, many of them in red states, live in extreme poverty...
