How the GOP fooled its own party with the BS of “trickle-down economics”

[Wyatt earp]

Corporate lobbyists: “hey, GOP, we will give you a shit ton of money if you suck our dicks.”

GOP: “not yet. You’re moving too fast for us.”

Corporate lobbyists: “okay fine. We’ll just give you a shit ton of money to pass legislation that benefits our corporation and pleases the shareholders.”

GOP: “what? How the hell are we supposed to do that?”

Corporate lobbyists: “Give us ridiculous income tax cuts and rig the tax code so that we can take advantage of generous loopholes and deductions to get save even more money. Just keep the “official” corporate tax rate high. It’s enough to fool your voters as being relevant and worth a damn. Oh, and call poor people lazy and do absolutely nothing to help them because it’s already fishy enough that the deficit will explode. We can’t add unnecessary expenses like that.”

GOP: “wouldn’t it be better for everyone if we just cut taxes for the poor and middle class? That way, they would have more money to spend on the economy and not only create profit for you, but more jobs for them?”

Corporate lobbyists: “um no. We get rich faster if we just save money through these tax cuts we don’t deserve.”

GOP: “how are we supposed to explain this to our base?!”

Corporate lobbyists: “Just tell them that the richer executives get, the more they will invest in wages and benefits for their workers. We will choose not to do that, of course, because we have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize profits for shareholders - even at the expense of our workers.”

GOP: “Ready BREAK!”

Tough swimming against the tide isn't it?

It’s better than being you and being washed away with the tide til you’re so far from land that you forgot what it looks like.

Billy are we supposed to pretend Democrats don't listen to lobbyists and in fact are not owned by lobbyists?

Remember: it takes intelligence and maturity to appreciate the role of government. This is your big, fat, federal government right here. Don't you love it? Aren't you proud?

Oh you’re very right. Lobbyists own democrats as well. However, the key difference is that democrats push legislation that also benefits the poor and middle class.

And what the fuck is that?

Forcing me to buy something I don't want?

$12 bucks for a pack of smokes?

Sky high property tax while the city clerk drives a Mercedes ?

Run off jobs?

Oh boy!!! Where to start with THAT gibberish!!! Lesson 1: Democrats push legislation that pretends to benefit those who it has MADE 'victims' in order to have a whole plantation of people begging them for more government cheese. Ask and adult if you can't understand.

rig the tax code so that we can take advantage of generous loopholes and deductions to save even more money.

Like deducting business expenses? Outrageous!

“wouldn’t it be better for everyone if we just cut taxes for the poor and middle class?

Sounds groovy! So that would be cuts for $0---->what level of income?
How about some specifics?

because we have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize profits for shareholders

Shareholders are the worst!
Always paying taxes on their dividends and their capital gains.....bastards!

They TELL you they do and you have bought it.

But it hasn't really helped the poor and middle class. The poor are still poor and the middle class are languishing and Trump won them because he went state to state and talked to them while Hillary was talking DOWN to them. The same is happening now. While the Dems worry about Social Justice and all manner of stupid things, the economy is actually healing. And if Trump wins, that will be why.

See if you can actually deal with this like your avatar says--with CRITICAL THINKING Billy and not going nuts. Try

Obviously republicans stone walling all this legislation matters, Sue. They still manage to pass legislation that benefits workers such as Obama expanding over time pay qualification to millions of workers. If republicans thought they could get away with it, they would eliminate the idea of over time pay altogether. More money saved! Also, as flawed as ACA is, 10s of millions of Americans have insurance when they didn’t before. Let’s also not forget that Obama’s tax cut for the middle class was the biggest since Reagan’s.

Sorry Billy, most of US do not consider ourselves 'workers' for the State. Neo-Marxism has crept into your brain. ACA was and is a dismal failure. How about letting US (the American people) KEEP our hard earned money and get fucking government out of our lives!!! We don't need their 'help' We don't want their 'help' other than keeping our country safe which is their ONLY mandate. All this other shit is superfluous bullshit aimed at filling the coffers of crooked politicians like Hillary and Obama.

legislation that also benefits the poor and middle class.

REALLY? Then why are the poor and Middle Class doing so poorly? Where is all that legislation? What happened to the 8 years of Obama legislation for the poor? What about all the years democrats controlled the House, Senate and WH?

HOW MUCH MORE of your keen legislation do we need before we start to see some effect?

legislation that also benefits the poor and middle class: TRANSLATION---- Legislation that takes money from the hands of the producers and gives it to government who are then supposed to pass it along as a handout to the poor and middle class.

Heads Up for ya, Buddy! Name for that is SOCIALISM. Government handouts. Welfare. Government dependency. Taking from the producers slows the economy and reduces available jobs. If it hasn't work yet, you drooling idiot, it NEVER WILL. Only, best solution is to try to help people raise themselves up to create their own autonomy. Not take from others to "distribute the weath."

You mean legislation completely stone-walled by republicans? Sure, Obama didn’t do enough for the poor and middle class, but both were helped to degree. The stimulus still created 3 million private jobs. Independent studies confirm this.

You mean legislation completely stone-walled by republicans?

How could they do that?
Obama told them to sit in the back of the bus.

The stimulus still created 3 million private jobs.

OMG! That's hilarious!!!

QUESTION------>Is Billy-E-Baloney really Dubya using a different sock?

Has Billy gotten a terrible case of TDS?

Should we have the doctors look at his, and his Leftist friends disease?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I think we ought to save them, even if they are SOCIALIST/Marxists. Better to save them, instead of replace them, with illegal aliens-) Although, the illegals, would surely work harder than he does-)

Hey Baloney, want a job cutting my grass-)
