Republicans keep blaming Democrats for the jobs shortage, ignoring the facts that, although the Clinton Administration is also to blame, the primary causes of the job shortage stem from the Bush Regime, and Republicans continue to support outsourcing.  Every American has a choice to make.  Where do we want jobs to be created?  Democrats want to create jobs here in the US, because that will benefit the American People.  Republicans want to create jobs in China, or anywhere else where a government is willing to allow the exploitation of their citizens\u2019 labor for slave wages, because that benefits greedy corporations and the richest 1% of Americans.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"17jobs\" US President Barack Obama said on Saturday he wants to create tax incentives for businesses that innovate and create new jobs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Americans hold up "I want to work" placards as they join a protest of several thousand people demanding jobs outside City Hall in Los Angeles in August 2010. US President Barack Obama has said he wants to create tax incentives for businesses that innovate and create new jobs.<\/p>\n

"I want to give every business in America a tax break so they can write off the cost of all new equipment they buy next year<\/strong>," the president said in his weekly radio address. "That\u2019s going to make it easier for folks to expand and hire new people."<\/p>\n

The comments came after US government data showed the US economy shed 95,000 jobs in September just weeks ahead of key mid-term elections.<\/p>\n

The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 9.6 percent from August.<\/p>\n

Obama also said he wanted to make the research and experimentation tax credit permanent as job creation depended on promoting new ideas and technologies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He also said he wanted to provide a tax cut for clean energy manufacturing in America<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But Obama criticized previsions in the US tax law that give billions of dollars in tax breaks to companies that create jobs and profits in other countries, saying: "I want to close these tax loopholes<\/strong>."\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
