The tax cuts are still in place. ALL that you cite happened under the Bush tax cuts.
The tax rate had 0 to do with the housing collapse except maybe helping people to hold on to there home longer because of the money they would have been allowed to keep
tax policy is only part of the big picture
allowing one to keep more wealth? how does that harm me?
You can't use the Bush tax cuts to claim credit for job creation and then arbitrarily stop claiming the tax cuts had any influence when the jobs begin to disappear.
You've been running in this nonsensical fallacy now for several weeks and it's really getting tedious. You're using the classic rightwing debating tactic of simply relentlessly repeating some myth that's already been debunked several times over,
thinking I guess, that you can just wear people down until they ignore your false claims and then by default you'll claim they were unrefuted.
Stop.
I have not made one false claim and I have no intent to wear anybody down
the truth is boring, very boring
Tax policy had very little to do with the housing crises, if anything. The housing crises is 99.99999% of the reason we sit in the mess we sit in
to be honest the govt., both left and right had little to do with this very greedy event
Clinton's tax policy I think began in 93-94
