Historic defeats in national elections can have that effect.

Clearly the remaining Democrats know WHY they were rejected by the American people.

Well two of the biggest tax cuts in the modern era were done by Democrats JKF and Carter..

This just means that the far left is moving to the right on this issue..

It's frequently entertaining to see just what lies the Democrats will come up with to try to explain away their monstrous defeats.

In this case it's a truth combines with a lie. JFK did put a big tax cut into place. But Carter did little tax cutting... and sat back while inflation drove people incomes AND EXPENSES hugely higher. On paper this was a wash - they had more money, but everything cost more.

Except it drove many people INTO THE NEXT HIGHER TAX BRACKET... and there was nothing to balance this loss to their pocketbooks. So the Carter years wound up as a net loss, since many people were paying higher percentages of their incomes to the government in taxes.

One of the things Reagan did, was to index tax rates to inflation, thus eliminating these "automatic" inflation-driven tax increases.

Carter lowered the capital gains tax from the upper 90's to the lower 30's..

Big huge tax cut if you ask me..

Democrats have never had a problem with tax breaks for the middle class. What else did they propose today? Where would the money come from?

The tax break comes at the expense of higher taxes and fees on the rich. So this is exactly nothing new from the Democrats. Their solutions to just about everything are "tax the rich more."

apparently, the OP along with other RW morons missed this "stark shift" in tax cuts ..

Budget Deal Makes Permanent 82 Percent of President Bush s Tax Cuts mdash Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

Wrong again!

Federal taxes yes, hidden taxes NO!

The money still comes from the middle class just redirected through other sources. Some on the far left actually believe the far left wants to help the middle class, to bad they are blinded by far left religious programming..

This is nothing new as they are ramping up for 2016.

To the far left middle class = union jobs..

Just another wealth redistribution scheme by the commiecrats in congress, trying to score political points with their base for 2016. Robinhood tax plans only appeal to a very small minority of Americans and there's no way it will make it through the GOP congress.

Carter did not do nothing. In fact, he appointed Paul Volcker as Fed Chairman, whereupon Volcker raised interest rates much higher and made a historic change to monetary policy by letting interest rates float.

I am not so sure after many of things I have seen GOP do that was no different than their far left counter parts..

Let's start with the $1.2 trillion wasted every single year on tax expenditures.

Level the playing field.
