Non-Partisan Congressional Tax Report Debunks Core Conservative Economic Theory

The conclusion?

Lowering the tax rates on the wealthy and top earners in America do not appear to have any impact on the nation’s economic growth.


This paragraph from the report says it all—

“The reduction in the top tax rates appears to be uncorrelated with saving, investment and productivity growth. The top tax rates appear to have little or no relation to the size of the economic pie. However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution.”

The Republican sham of lower taxes and less regulation doesn't help anyone but the richest Americans and Big Business and kill jobs and opportunity for almost everyone, especially in the middle class and poor.

The jobs lost in the recession were lost BECAUSE of Republican Policies, lies and fallacies- Can we say Trickle Down (Voodoo!) Economics? Hell, even Dubya's Dad knew that stuff was, uh, Bunk!

Now they want you to believe them when they claim they know what's best for the rest of us?

Which regulation?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Because the richest white lefties have the loudest mouthpieces. Their sheeple want to appear cool and toe the lefty line in order to fit in. Meanwhile their policies not only keep the economy in the hole with fossil fuel extraction prohibition, but they also exacerbate racism and contribute to social demise with their family-destroying social policies.
Only fools or out-of-touch people are lefties.

You're such a dunce.
The Right had nothing to do with anything.
The Left brought us high debt, low employment, and the worst recovery post war on record.

Your ignorance of macro-economics is only exceeded by your desire to share it with the rest of us.

Jobs were lost because the economy went into recession. A twelve year old can comprehend that simple fact. Neither Bush policies, nor trickle down economics had a damn thing to do with causing the recession.

The economy went into recession because of the dry up of credit caused by the bust of the housing boom. Even you should be able to figure that out. When consumers are out of both cash and credit, they quit buying and that causes the economy to shrink.

The follow on financial crisis, also caused by the bust of the housing bubble, helped dry up credit, but the recession was already a fact by then. There was no brink to be brought back from, since TARP averted the financial crisis before Obama ever took office.

Your leaders know that you are ignorant, and feed you the BS that you regurgitate on message boards.

This administration and the federal reserve have thrown $trillions at the economy trying to prove that Keynesian economics works, and five and a half years later, the economy is still bouncing along the bottom. How long is it going to take you people to realize that you don't have a clue?

Do you proof this stuff before you hit "reply"?

Jobs were "lost" because they were going overseas. The Bush administration saw this and did nothing. They could have closed the Eisenhower tax "loophole" which was meant to encourage overseas investment. But they didn't. And actually, they made things worse with tax "holidays" which actually rewarded this behavior. It also sent a signal to manufacturers that the Bush administration would not be investing in infrastructure. Which hit them in two ways. First, government contracts. Second in the actual infrastructure they use as well. So tax incentives, no contracts and crappy infrastructure? Why not go where labor is cheap.

Secondly, it was the Bush administration that CAUSED the financial mess. Lowering taxes on the wealthy and lowering interest rates created lots of cheap cash ripe for a bubble. Add in Bush starved regulators of resources, packed regulators with business "friendly" leaders and did nothing about regulatory capture. The Arthur Anderson/Enron debacle should have been a clue as to what was going on, but the Bush administration put up some pretty weak regulations after that. What? Sarbanes-Oxley? Mark to Market? You mean that corporations had to tell the "truth". Woe is me! And it did nothing about the Mortgage backed securities that would infect our whole financial sector.

Additionally Bush started two unfunded WARS. Along with a brand new spanking Department of homeland security. Anybody that knew anything knew that was going to make for a heap of trouble. THEN? He started nation building.

When the shit hit the fan AGAIN? Bush didn't believe it. He let Lehman go under. That cost ALOT of jobs in the financial sector. And when that went? Layoffs went though the street like crazy. In a panic, they put TARP together and left the shit sandwich for the next guy to clean up.

THAT'S what happened, ace.

I believe it is that lower tax rates don't increase increase economic activities and fossil fuels create pollution which, it turns out, includes co2.

I'm pretty sure that's why. Now that you ask, it occurs to me that the reason against fossil fuels include pollutants from the beginning of extraction all the way up to combustion.


That is what I've read so far.

What can you think of?

There are some great apps that help boost memory, if that's the difficulty you're up against.

It could be a cognitive problem, such as asking rhetorical questions all the time instead of just objectively learning.
