Accuracy Do Tax Cuts Create Jobs

Accuracy
1.    Do you trust the information given on the webpage? Is it reliable and valid? I would trust this because the organization is citizen-driven(the group that gets hit the most by taxes or tax-cuts) and they are about trying to combat bad tax policies.
2.    Does the web page document its sources? In other words, does it tell you where the information comes from?On the page itself there are no sources cited. The CTJ gives three fact sheets from ITEP findings were directly linked to this webpage without any editing or work from CTJ, but still receiving their endorsement.
3.    How does the information on the web page compare with what you already know?I feel the same way on this issue because, when granted tax cuts companies don't appropriate their growth in profit correctly, in other words they keep the bonuses they are given and their workers don't see any proof of the tax cuts. 

 Do you have good reason to believe that the information on the site is accurate? Are the facts documented? The facts of their claim are for the most part accurate but what helps validate this is the information they are endorsing from another organization that share the same vision.

Identify a claim and use another source of information on the web to verify the accuracy of the claim
