Eric Cantor is Such a Fucking Idiot

...that he's unwittingly pulled back the curtain on the GOP myth of "gee, if only we'd lower corporate taxes, millions of new jobs will be unleashed!" vis-a-vis the FAA pocketing unpaid taxes because "thats what business does":
Oddly, Cantor seems to be unintentionally making the progressive argument about corporate taxes here. While conservatives generally argue that cutting business tax rates will lead to companies passing on savings to consumers and hiring more employees, progressives argue that corporations will just pocket much of these savings. The FAA shutdown offered an ideal test case for this question, and it seems that even Cantor agrees that pocketing tax savings is “what business does.”
I look forward to Jackoff McJackofferson scrambling to backtrack, claiming that the FAA is secretly hiring thousands of Constitution-loving patriots with the money.
