Where is your source on this statement?

A number of sources. Reuters. Forbes. ABC. New York Times.

And explain why you think increasing taxes on corporations enables them to create more jobs.

I didn't say that. What I asked is that if corporations that paid no taxes in 2010 also laid off thousands of employees then how can the claim that eliminating corporate taxes altogether will free these companies to create jobs? If they aren't creating jobs then the reason obviously isn't the tax code. So let's find out what it is and address that area. Alternately, target the business tax elimination to those companies that create jobs. For example, it's a known fact that small and medium businesses create the majority of jobs in this country. So instead of dropping business taxes altogether then make the first million or 5 million or 10 million in profits tax free. That will benefit the majority of the companies and allow them to expand.

Your premise is flawed.

Stating names of publications is not a link bolstering your claim.

A number of sources.

Why would I take your word for it?

I didn't say that.

Yes you did. Your whole premise is that reducing taxes on corporations does not improve their ability to grow and create jobs, based on a false pretense that you cannot support. This is the same as saying that increased taxes on corporations allows them to create jobs. You libs can never explain why increasing these taxes and regulations are good for the economy, so you have to make up a false premise.
