Reagan boom time taxes were 50%

During Clinton boom time taxes were over 39 percent
During Bush lowest tax rate in forever and employment was flat at best and they have stayed low and there is no hiring boom. so it kind of shits on the whole lower taxes creates jobs it doesnt.

if you are going to take money out of your business and you are going get hit hard by taxes, you will keep in and invest so you dont get hit with the taxes.
