How do you reestablish the middle class? You create a tax code that taxes the life out of the profits of the major job creators. You do not tax or threaten their revenue, you do however tax the life out of their profits.
Trickle down economics do not work.
Agreed trickle down does not work. We have a long history to look at as to what works and what does not. Resoundingly voodoo economics has failed. We don't just need to raise taxes on Americans. What we need to do is raise taxes on foreigners. Bring back the tariff system that the founding fathers establish that existed all the way till Reagan started to dismantle them and Clintoon put on steroids with NAFTA.
Yes! Because the Smoot-Hawley tariff worked soooo well the first time!

Nobody, and I mean nobody, is proposing Tort Reform and limiting a "right to sue".If the poster is intellectually honest, he will explain exactly how Tort reform takes away "peoples right to sue". He can't.Quote:

The posit the strawman, since making the true argument as I stated above won't have the same effect. So demagogue and lie to your hearts content.
Singlestack
It's a historical fact, singlestack. You can't argue with that.
Singlestack, in nynco's case, its obvious that he isn't using a strawman argument. Instead, what is happening is that nynco is truly utterly ignorant of the arguments of his political opponents. He has no clue what their stance is, what their policy positions are, and what the explanations for those policy positions are. The result is that he makes up stuff, presents utterly cartoonish versions of his opponents and looks like a fool.
Wonderful sarcasm. nynco's not even realizing you made fun of him.Quote:

I can't believe how your comments get more and more ridiculous.
Uh, no. And yes, I'm arguing with that. Great comeback.Quote:

No, GHWB wasn't a fiscal conservative at all. And "Voodoo economics" referred to overall tax policy in the form of tax cuts, not the same as the epithet "trickle down" which referred to encouraging investment among the upper income quintile's.
You clearly either have no grasp or refuse to except facts. The two are synonymous (period!). LOOK IT UP. GHWB was and did, I was alive and I remember.Quote:
