GOP dirty little secret: corporate subsidies are Middle Class Tax Increases

[CrusaderFrank]

Republicans see three things wrong with the economy.

1. Taxes too high for the wealthiest Americans, even though they are much lower than the more than 50% under Reagan.

2. Too many Regulations, even though Bush and the Republicans went on an orgy of de-regulation.

3. Too many corporate taxes, even though many don't pay any at all they they are the lowest they've been in decades.

They don't mention, supply and demand, or any of the other things that actually affect the economy.

Too many Progressive trying their failed ideas on the US economy

Saying "failed" idea doesn't make for a "failed" idea.

So what are the Republican Ideas. Give us a list. You know it will be a short one.

Conservatives fully supported the "Citizen's United" case. They fully support corporate welfare. And they fully support weakening and bankrupting the United States government.

Democrats dont support none of this stuff Sallow?.....well you certainly have me fooled....

Dunno..Obama made a big stink about Citizen's United in the halls of Congress.

I give McCain credit all the time for McCain/Feingold. Aside from maybe McCain, which Republican thinks Citizen's United was an abomination?

There's a bill in congress right now that place severe restrictions on corporate lobbyists and their collusion with Congressional members and their staff. Do you think it will go anywhere in the house?

Dude, c'mon. Politicians were bought and sold before Citizens United, and politicians will be bought and sold after. The only difference today is that one point is made clear: there are no restrictions on political speech.

I think you got that backwards. the dirty little secret is corporate tax increases are American people tax increases.

You have absolutely no Credibility here TM. You are the last person that should be lecturing anyone on the facts.

You want a list? We have given it over and over and over. You just want to ignore it and spend more money.

Seems to be one of the GOP's "dirty little secrets" they forget to mention. When you give money to the top 12 largest US corporations and to oil companies, that money comes from the middle class. It's a "tax increase" on the middle class.

Are you ever going to learn?

Obama is pushing all the green energy subsides right now. Do you have any idea how much green energy Exxon produces every year? Are you going to go after him for taking money from the middle class and giving t to large corporations?

I didn't think so.

When Republicans wanted the government to clean up after BP because it was an "accident", they were working to shift the cost to the middle class.

The government did clean up after the BP oil spill.

On Morning Joe, Paul Ryan lied again and again. First, new jobs do NOT come from "small business", they come from "new business". Besides, Republicans saying they support small business is BS. They never have and never will. They only supports large business and corporations. You only need to follow their policies to know that. Because corporations are people my friend.

Most new businesses start out as small businesses. which is why Ryan said that. In fact, Ryan is not the only one that says that. Every politician, economist, all the experts in Obama's job council, and Obama himself, all say that. Are they all liars?

Obama Says Jobs Plan Would Boost Hiring by Small Businesses - Bloomberg

Another lie, if someone's tax rate is 14% and you close the loopholes, their rate is NOT 25%. Only now, they are paying more of the 14%. But it's STILL 14%.

No one has a 14% tax rate in this country. There are people that have an effective tax rate of 14%, and closing the loopholes would mean they pay more taxes.

This Republican "Let 'em Die" Party with the fringe on top, is no friend to the middle class. Their policies, no matter how well they word them are intended to squeeze what ever they can from America to feed a few wealthy elite. They fail under close scrutiny or examination.

Which explains why Reagan's policies led to more rich people, because Republicans hate the middle class, and the poor, they want everyone to be rich.

Because it's the same two or three things. Cut taxes for the wealthy. Cut corporate tax and get rid of clean air and clean water and safety regulations. The same dumb, worthless policies failing over and over again.

Their 'Messiah' was particularly cruel to small business.

Ronald Reagan was the biggest socialist in history. He is the pied piper on the road to serfdom. He began a systematic dismantling of all the gains the middle class had secured. Reagan transferred wealth from the poor and the middle class to the opulent. He looted Social Security to cover the shortfalls of his tax cuts for the wealthy. And the whole 'small businessman is the engine of growth' was cruel rhetoric. The self-employment tax jumped as much as 66 percent under Reagan.

 

[Wicked Jester]

Mostly the GOP has foisted unpaid taxes onto the future taxpayer.

But in their defence they could never have done that with the aid and assistance of the Democrats.

You know.

This is the conservative meme. And it's complete bullshit. While we have a divided government we do have a government in which at one time or another one party is the one that leads the agenda. While it's up to the other party to offer up opposition views and perform checks...it's also up to them to follow that agenda.

The GOP thought they could have wars, new departments and new entitlements while cutting taxes. They were wrong. But it's on them..no one else.

And what they should be doing now..is helping the President to pay down those debts as well as fixing the economy they fucking broke.

Really?? I challange that statement. Our government is not divided, the population is.

No change in policy from bush to obama. No change in foriegn policy for the last 3 presidents. Continued decline of domestic equality, wealth, and freedom for the last 30 years.

Time to fire the federal government, thats why Ron Paul has earned my vote.

Enough with the Ron Paul fallacy......The man's a damn kook, as he fully proves in each debate.

Yeah, he's just going to "fire the federal government".......Give us a break from the loony, Paulette BS rhetoric already.

 

[BDBoop]

You know what gets me? I KNOW that when they get everything they want, and the country goes to hell in a handbasket, they're going to turn around and blame the dems. I can guarandamntee it.

No one gives money to the 12 largest corporations, turd.

When Republicans wanted the government to clean up after BP because it was an "accident", they were working to shift the cost to the middle class.

I don't recall a single Republican saying anyone but BP should clean up the oil spill.

Verbal masturbation.

Another lie, if someone's tax rate is 14% and you close the loopholes, their rate is NOT 25%. Only now, they are paying more of the 14%. But it's STILL 14%.

No one said closing loopholes changed your tax bracket. However, it does increase your taxes. Anyone who denies it is a simply a lying leftwing scumbag.

This Republican "Let 'em Die" Party with the fringe on top, is no friend to the middle class. Their policies, no matter how well they word them are intended to squeeze what ever they can from America to feed a few wealthy elite. They fail under close scrutiny or examination.

How does increases taxes and sending money to government parasites help the middle class?

What "unpaid taxes?" Not paying your taxes can land you in prison.

Republicans should be doing what their constituents elected them to do, and raising taxes definitely isn't on their agenda.

I definitely support the "Citizen's United" decisions. I don't support welfare of any kind.

I support abolishing the US government.

Myths of the Free Market

Our own economy grew faster when we abandoned the laissez faire of the 1920s and early 1930s for the proto-socialist policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It has become increasingly sluggish as we have moved back to a purer free market. Data of the past few decades show that our GNP and productivity growth have lagged those of our trading partners, who have mixed economies characterized by moderate government intervention.

The U.S. has come closer to laissez faire than most other countries, especially since the Reagan Administration. If free market policies are the best economic policies then we should have experienced the most robust growth in the world during this period. But this has not happened. We have been outstripped by our trading partners.
