The Politics of Outsourcing

[The Rabbi]

Rabbi's argument that outsourcing creates jobs is like saying that raising taxes on the wealthy actually makes them wealthier....

Actually it's more like if you lower taxes on high income earners (don't confuse wealth with income) then they'll have more incentive to work harder and invest.
Which is true.

Invest like they did for the last decade?
I guess it seemed a good idea at the time....

You mean the second longest post-war expansion of GDP? Yeah, something like that.

A mild downturn that has been prolonged and deepened by Obama's policies.
Yeah, a good reason to vote GOP.

After the November elections I can see the "party of fuck-you" giving the finger to the wealthy and not extending the tax cuts. It would be like in-sourcing tax dollars.

Chuckle chuckle.
Man you got it bad.
And antibiotics won't even touch it.

And then they'll be responsible for the following economic downturn. And really voted out in 2012.
It's a possibility.
And then they'd be The Party of Fuck Us.
