Yes. Quite. We need to stimulate the economy to finance the war. If anything we should cut spending on non defense related programs. And lower taxes, and fight the war. No NEA. A myriad of others cuts need to be made.Huckleburry said:Is it patriotic to lower taxes while in the middle of a taxing war?
The bulk of the tax burden is paid by the uppercrust, so naturally cuts affect them more, as they logically should. Plus, this is the investment class, they need to be incented to grow business and produce more jobs.The country is being asked to go through some very difficult times and this requires belt sacrifice. If this is the case then why are the wealthiest Americans also receiving tax cuts?
As a point of contrast the tax rate for the same group was about 92 percent during the Second World War. It seems a bit odd that the group that is asking Americans to sacrifice their lives and livelihoods are also asking that their tax burden be reduced.
It only seems odd through the eyes of a communist. Take off the Red colored glasses, buddy.
