The conservative economic belief holds that businesses expand when they have the means to do so and this action drives economic growth.  This of course ignores what mainstream econ holds which is that economic growth is driven by demand and businesses will expand to meet that demand if they have the means to do so.

It's really silly...we have huge P/E ratios, incredibly low financing rates...the average firm has never had an easier time financing an expansion.  Yet firms don't take advantage of this opportunity because adding capacity that isn't supported by demand for its output isn't profitable.  The idea that tax breaks in general or shifting taxes from the wealthy to poor is going finally coax the job creators to create jobs to meet demand that doesn't exist is a fantasy in our current context.  It might be true if corporate tax rates were 75% the risk free rate was 12% and P/E ratios sat around 5:1, but this isn't the case.
