...the Republican myth that "tax cuts pay for themselves," President Bush confidently proclaimed, "You cut taxes and the tax revenues increase." In 2007, Graham's puppet master John McCain explained, "Tax cuts, starting with Kennedy, as we all know, increase revenues." As it turned out, not so much. After Ronald Reagan tripled the national debt with his supply-side tax cuts, George W. Bush doubled it again with his own. And in between, the Clinton years saw robust economic growth, balanced budgets along with higher taxes (which, by the way, every single Republican in the House and Senate voted against.)

1. Something for nothing. Whenever a Republican accuses you of something, you can be sure that it is

projection. They are the ones who want to do business without paying for what it costs shared resources to make their wealth possible. They want something for nothing, but according to them it's us, all of us who want decent jobs, who want something for something and THEY are the ones who want something for nothing.

8. Yep. They're the true welfare queens.

To the most obscene extremes imaginable.

To justify this greed, they've convinced themselves they work harder and are smarter than the average American - therefore more deserving. And by contrast, the people who are struggling are lazy and dumb and deserve what they're getting. All is just in the world, when you look at it that way.

2. No Surprises Here

Nothing here should surprise anyone - certainly, not anyone who is minimally informed. Unfortunately,
it is becoming more and more evident that more than half of the Country consists of "low information" voters.

3. I remember it well.

And yet they STILL say "tax cuts increase revenues." (They used to toss out bogus statistics unadjusted for inflation, etc.) By the way, Bush Sr. called this "voodoo economics" when Reagan first touted it.

True, they claimed they wanted no blame for the 1993 budget, then they tried to take credit for its results... And still they screamed about Clinton passing the "biggest tax increase in history!!" (Yeah, on the top 2%.)

And when BushCo was in office? What deficit? What debt? Surplus means you overpaid and need a refund!! Can't pay down that debt too fast you know!! Surplus = the rich need tax cuts! Recession = the rich need tax cuts! Deficits = the rich need tax cuts! War = the rich need tax cuts!

Every freaking thing always means the rich need tax cuts. (Corporations also = the rich... It doesn't go to the workers in the mailroom or the receptionist on the first floor.)

If people don't realize by now that IT DOESN'T TRICKLE DOWN, they just never will.

4. not only do tax cuts not pay for themselves....

....but trying to reduce the national debt and budget deficit is also futile as long as the republican-organized-crime-party exists solely to increase tax-cuts, debt and deficits for the rich....

....we will never be able to put this country on a sound fiscal trajectory as long as pukes retain power....it's hopeless, don't even try, they'll steal us blind....

7. It's possible that tax cuts could increase revenues (given the right circumstances), but...

if the government spends even more than these "increased revenues" (as it did under Reagan and Bush) the national debt will increase (exponentially in their cases) anyway.

It's like someone who gets a raise or a better-paying job, but increases his spending by more than the increase in his income (revenue) so he ends up deeper in debt than before.

10. But they never have. Revenues have NEVER

increased due to tax cuts. This is a Republican myth but that doesn't seem to bother you.
