The thing that gets me about trying to solve things with tax cuts
Edited on Wed Feb-11-09 01:57 PM by Quixote1818
Sometimes I get the feeling Republicans think we can keep cutting taxes to spur the economy until the tax rate is fucking zero! We have cut taxes and now we are in a recession and going deeper into debt and our infrastructure is starting to fall apart, yet they want to keep cutting taxes? That simply lacks common sense. Are these people really this fucking stupid? It appears so! If you are going to cut taxes then you really should cut spending preferably military spending.

Now taxes are too low to support our infrastructure and to keep the budget balanced and if we raise taxes it will hurt the economy.

Republicans can really fuck things up!

George Bush Sr. originally had it right. It's Voodoo economics!

1. They want to return to the Gilded Era
They don't see anything wrong with a horribly unequal and unjust society where the vast majority lives in grinding poverty and is grateful for the handful of crumbs thrown at them.

2. 'Are these people really this fucking stupid?'
Why yes! Yes, they are! For the last 30 years, the repukes have been sending to congress the biggest goobers they could find. Village idiots, used car salesmen, child molesters, tea room habitues, diaper wearers, 99 year old men rendered catatonic by dementia...They don't care. They truly would vote for a Belgium block if you wrote "low taxes" on it.
