Rubio: Which One of Your Taxes Will Create Jobs, Mr. President?

With all the talk about deficits and taxes, Marco Rubio zeros in on the REAL issue: JOBS!

Via Rush Limbaugh:

RUSH: Marco Rubio over in the Senate gets this. He was in Washington, Senate floor speech. We have some sound bites from Marco Rubio, Senator from Florida.

RUBIO: Let's stop talking about new taxes and start talking about creating new taxpayers, which basically means jobs. Now, here in Washington this debt is the number one issue on everyone's mind, and rightfully so. It is a major issue. But everywhere else in the real world the number one issue on people's minds are jobs. And I'll tell you every other problem facing America: a mortgage crisis, home foreclosure crisis, this debt problem, all of these issues get easier to deal with if people are gainfully employed across America. And the impact that unemployment's having across this country is devastating.

RUSH: And he wasn't finishing. He was just getting warmed up.

RUBIO: Our job here is to do everything we can to make it easier for them to find a job, not harder. And I think that's what we have to do when it comes to a balanced approach, and when we talk about revenue. We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system and then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again.

RUSH: Amen. There's a Republican here that gets it. This is real simple, and this is all you say to Obama when you go into the meeting, we need taxpayers. You want to raise revenue, get some jobs out there, dummkopf. New jobs, growing economy, more taxpayers, more revenue, bingo, there it is, everybody's happy. No need to raise a damn thing here. And he kept going, folks.

RUBIO: So you look at all these taxes that are being proposed and here's what I say. I say she should analyze every single one of them through the lens of job creation, issue number one in America. I want to know which one of these taxes that they're proposing will create jobs. I want to know how many jobs are gonna be created by the plane tax. How many jobs are gonna be created by the oil company tax that I heard so much about? How many jobs are created by going after the millionaires and billionaires that the president talks about? I want to know, how many jobs do they create?

RUSH: Marco Rubio, Republican freshman Senator from Florida definitely has a future, and here he is bringing it home.

RUBIO: I traveled the state of Florida for two years campaigning. I have never met a job creator who told me that they were waiting for the next tax increase before they started growing their business. I never met a single job creator who's ever said to me, "I can't wait 'til government raises taxes again so I can go out and create a job," and curious to know if they say that in New Hampshire because they don't say that in Florida. So my view on all this is I want to know how many jobs these tax increases the president proposes will create because if they're not creating jobs and they're not creating new taxpayers, they're not solving the problem.

What a fantastic way of putting it.

Even today, the EPA has established new rules that will cost jobs in the utility industry and raise electric bills for millions of people.  The Obama administration is killing jobs with every initiative it makes.

It seems that every speech Obama makes has a reference to raising taxes on corporate jets.  Wichita Kansas is the epicenter of this and he's killing it.  People and companies who were planning to buy a new jet are pulling back, and that means that very many highly paid jobs are being lost because this  fool is demagoging the issue.  For those with short memories, we're seeing a re-run of the tax on luxury yachts that passed Congress in 1990 and devastated the people working in that industry...

The tax cost the government an estimated $24 million in unemployment benefits alone because of the lost jobs in the aircraft and boating industry. Boat Builders, a key industry in George Mitchell’s and Ted Kennedy’s home states were particularly hard-hit with yacht sales dropping 77 percent and builders laying off an estimated 25,000 people.
