If less taxes for rich should create more jobs, then, why is there more unemployment than ever, while we have lesser tax for rich than ever?

I can't understand what is wrong with this question? Its based of real world data, right?



The short answer is that "making jobs" is a complete mystery to most economists. Aside from the government directly hiring people to bury jars full of money, no one knows how to make it happen.

It doesn't stop politicians of all stripes from pretending that they have the magic answer, and that the politicians from the other party are a bunch of nincompoops.
