when did 75th become such a liberal dem?

He claims to be conservative.

It's analogous to that guy you know who even though he's married with two kids, has a surprising sense of fashion and loves Broadway musicals. He swears up and down he's straight, but when he has one too many glasses of Chablis he spontaneously admits he'd kiss Brad Pitt.

HTH!

Forgetting your 6 page pop quiz already? Wasnt that long ago.

Wait. Are you saying that cutting taxes won't spurn the economy? I thought that taxes were at an all time low and the economy is still in the shitter, no?

I have to go to work, so no time to engage in a debate. Post up what your reasoning and thinking is and later tonight I will reply to your post.

Reasoning about what?

1) Fact of the matter is that corporations and wealthy individuals are paying a lower effective rate today (and have been over the past few years) than at almost any time previously.

2) Saying the Bush tax cuts made the economy grow every quarter is like saying that me brushing my teeth has helped me fight cancer. I brush my teeth twice a day, and I dont have cancer. Ergo, brushing fights cancer!

Plus, suggesting that Bush presided over an economic boom shows a lack of even a basic understanding of not only economic growth (not measured by GDP numbers, which includes government spending....hence the "growth" over the past 18 months) but just an ignorance of history in general.

Because I'm too lazy to write a paper for you right now.

PS - Im no fan of the man, but to date Obama has created more private sector jobs than Bush did during his entire presidency.

Exactly.

To my point, if tax cuts (and low effective rates) generated jobs and economic growth we would be in the middle of the biggest economic boom in history.

Sadly, they dont. So, we arent.

And this is the part when the guy says: "Hell yeah, I'd bang her! Look at the huge cans on that one." But then he blows it by saying "But I wouldn't be caught dead in that dress. If she had tied-in the teal green with more of a lavender color, it would have accentuated the colors in her purse."

But you don't understand. The present rates don't matter. The only thing that's important is that they need to be cut. Perpetually. It's such a burden to do business in the most favorable tax and regulatory environment in the Western World.

Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

One spurns the economy at their own risk.

Grammar aside, taxes are only one part of the problem If you run around giving the "fair share" speech every chance you get, companies are going to hoard cash just as if taxes had already been raised.

There's also regulation. Barry's love for regulation has paralyzed employers. We need massive amounts of deregulation here, starting with completely eliminating BarryCare.

Right. That's the reason companies arent hiring.
