we're not talking about creative people you idiot but people who invent or supply new inventions. Republicans support supply side economics, i.e., the supply of new inventions most importantly, while Democrats support demand side economics, i.e, welfare and food stamps to stimulate demand and thus the economy.
Do you have the IQ to understand?
Dear Clueless Repubtard Idiot! Republicans do not believe in supply side economics! Republicans slow GDP growth.
Since Reganomics the US GDP growth rate has been in decline! Except for The Clinton & Obama Administrations. Clinton took Bush #1's 2.6% GDP Way Up to 7.5% GDP GROWTH! Bush #2 took Clinton's +7.5% GDP Growth, Down to -3.2% "NEGATIVE GDP!!! Obama Reversed Republican Negative GDP from -3.2% GDP to +5.0% GDP Growth.
The highest consistent sustained US GDP growth rates were from 1955 to 1980 when Reaganomics started eroding this country.
Let's add more moronic regulations. That always helps the economy.
And higher taxes. Screw those rich guys. Tax 'em at 90%, they'll work more.
Republicans love large word-salad legal contracts that screw workers, savers & investors out of their money & rights. Republicans steal from productive workers & give it to the rich. Republicans hate Fiduciary Responsibility & Promote Swindlers!
Republicans actually decrease supply growth rates & increase prices. Employment, GDP, US dollar & Economy all fall under Republicans!!!

Sounds interesting. You have an example?
Republicans actually decrease supply growth rates & increase prices. Employment, GDP, US dollar & Economy all fall under Republicans!!!
All of those things greatly improved under Reagan after his tax cuts, even after a double dip recession.
Why haven't they improved as much under Obama? Weakest recovery ever. And I heard he was a Dem.
Reagan's tax cuts?
How dare you be so ******* ignorant on the USMB. This is where a worthy ***** slap might be well deserved:
Stephen Colbert brings up Ronald Reagan's tax-raising record in Ted Cruz interview
Cruz said "of course not" before pivoting to Reagan’s most conservative accomplishments, one being that he "signed the largest tax cut in history" and spurred economic growth.
"You know, when Reagan came in, from 1978 to 1982, economic growth averaged less than 1 percent a year. There’s only one other four-year period where that’s true. That’s true from 2008 to 2012," Cruz said.
Colbert jumped in, saying "But when conditions changed in the country, he reversed his world’s ‘largest tax cut’ and raised taxes when revenues did not match the expectations. So it’s a matter of compromising."
The 1982 tax increase was "probably the largest peacetime tax increase in American history," said economist Bruce Bartlett, who advised Reagan on domestic policy and then worked as Treasury deputy assistant secretary for economic policy in the George H.W. Bush administration.
1983: A law Reagan signed in 1983 aimed to keep Social Security afloat by increasing payroll taxes and taxing Social Security benefits for some high-earners. This cost $24.6 billion, or almost $50 billion in 2015 dollars, through 1988, according to an administration
estimate.
1984: The Deficit Reduction Act that Reagan signed rolled back part of the 1981 cut on buildings, Entin said, with the idea that Congress would enact spending cuts. "But many of those cuts were either never enacted or were later restored," Entin said. This led to $25 billion in tax receipts.
Reagan also signed tax increases in 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988 (as well as a couple other laws with revenue reductions).
Reagan agreed to raise taxes to deal with budget deficits, even if he wasn’t enthusiastic about it.

You should be ***** slapped for every time Reagan raised taxes just for being so damn ignorant.
