ReplyDeleteIt is amazing that they keep going back to the same well and that there are those who buy it...every time.
ReplyDeleteThe only problem with that philosophy is that people are actually dumb enough to believe it over and over again.
ReplyDeleteOther than that? I got no problem with it.
I would love to see the actual numbers of where the money saved to the rich from their tax cuts go. Part of me thinks all that money goes straight into the stock market or sheltered funds that never go towards increasing jobs or wages.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I've seen through two massive tax cut programs - Reagan's in 1981, Dubya's between 2001 and 2003 - have been massive deficits. It's as though the anti-tax crowd are less worried about jobs or even keeping the rich richer, they want tax cuts to kill off government.
in addition to massive deficits, the Reagan and Bush tax cuts gave us crumbling infrastructure, reduced investment in things like health and medical research, clean air and water, exploding student debt, a mostly non-existent safety net etc etc All so the rich can buy a third or fourth home or a jet etc....
