Because tax cuts are not good for the economy
Yeah?? Tell that to the clowns in Albany in the People's Republik of New Yorkistan because they (especially the NYC idiots) never met a tax they didn't love. The private sector economy sucks big time here because of high taxes!

ThinkProgress?? My crap stained toilet paper has more credibility than that!!!
 
and that folks, is what we call FACTS.

:)


what is missing is the proof of cause and effect.

we could claim that Jim Crow laws made our country better because they were in full swing during the prosperity of the 1950s

no, the economy sucks upstate because Upstate sucks...and because you have been abandoned by large firms and factories.

NYC's economy is doing just fine, public & private sector.
 
what? His holiness ronald reagan raised taxes?:shock: lol

I actually meant that he raised the debt ceiling...but yes, Reagan raised taxes too. lol
 
You can claim you are pope too and that would be just as stupid

so tell us why do the dems refuse to cut stuff unless they can wage class warfare on the smartest and the most industrious?

And because the rich have been waging class warfare on us

tax-hikes causes the mortgage bubble to burst and the stock market to drop 50%?

you don't say. :)
tax hikes on the rich lead to the middle class thinking it was someone else's duty to pay for all the spending that went to buy their votes

when people have no feedback as to the real cost of government they have no incentive to keep that spending down

that's a major reason why we have politicians who have spent recklessly for years-they faced no backlash. People like you keep voting for them because you don't have to pay the real cost of the spending. People like I do
 
wait...so higher tax rates on the rich seem to always coincide with economic growth in the USA?

that's great to hear!! I always knew we were right.

And why is that?? Because of HIGH CONFISCATORY TAXES, MY HISTORICALLY ATROPHIED FRIEND.

Mother JOnes

Dismissed as BS

why do so many rich dems spew class warfare? because they make more money when they are in office even if their tax schemes become law

of course the untalented and un industrious want more of the wealth

every swimmer in the Olympics wanted some or all of Michael Phelps gold medals

a 1000 pro tennis players think they should have a few of those majors that Nadal and Federer have "hogged" for the last 5 years too

BTW, I could not care less if that Downstate parasite sunk right down to the bottom of the Atlantic for all I care. The new Commonwealth of Niagara will do just fine without the Downstate Parasite.
 
did you see the graphs that Sangha posted?

guess not.

yeah I did and it is complete BS and proves nothing
what people think the income distribution should be means nothing
 
because the GOP and the rich have declared war on the Middle-class.

that's why.

Except, the Democrats have done more to hurt the middle class, than anyone.

how do you explain the clear corolation between higher tax-rates on the wealthy, and our increased levels of economic growth?

There is no corolation between the two. :rofl
 
He's questioning your 47% number, probabaly not knwoing you're limiting it to payroll taxes, ignoring other taxes people pay, and that that number is a one year oddity (usually between 35 and 40%).

Plus that was the 2009 tax year he is quoting.:2wave:
 
except...that's not correct.
Oh really?? Recall the days of Jimmy Carter and double digit unemployment?? Or how about massive double digit inflation?? Or maybe the double digit interest rates?? Ahh the good old days of 1970s Democrat dominance.
