Would killing the economy help the poor?

I'm done over here again, too much conflict and silly baby crap..

Now, if you think your source is better than mine then don't bother to post back up.

lol

Sure. Your link from an admittedly biased organization trumps my link referencing numerous economists and analysts representing both side of the political spectrum.

You're right. You win.

Thanks for dodging my questions, too. How very plunk-esque of you.

Well, you do have a valid point there, but in relation to women.

So cutting taxes doesn't invigorate the economy. Raising taxes doesn't. It's the lack of regulations?

 

[Mr. dB]

False choice. Those two aren't mutually exclusive.

But I do like your attitude toward taxation in general. They're definitely "going after" people these days. And people are checking out of the system at record rates. That 1% that controls the wealth will be deploying said wealth in a more globally dispersed (and difficult to tax) way.

Boom or bust, that wealth only travels in one direction. They're not going to suddenly start hiring if and when they get the favorable tax and regulation environment they're holding us hostage for. And it sure as hell ain't gonna trickle down.

As far as regulations go, we need to bring back the anti-trust ones.

Anti-trust legislation deals specifically with price fixing, market segmentation and monopolies.

Exactly what market and/or company are you ready to target? Who would we attack that would make things all better?

So what's the best way to help the poor? Or is there a best way? Will the poor always be poor? Do they want to raise their standard of living, and more importantly are they willing to work for it?

The answer is obvious: Take cash from the poor's would-be employers and give it to unions, ACORN and solar panel companies.

Duh!
