How does taking away from sucessful taxpayers and giving to the 40% that are non-taxpayers grow the economy?
Proably the same way taxing future taxpayers does when we borrow trillions to give tax cuts to billionaries, eh?
When you provide tax cuts to tax payers you create more capital for business to create jobs.
When you provide tax cuts to average citizens you give them enough money to buy stuff from businesses which creates jobs which make rich people richer.
That isn't obvious to you?
When you give redistributed money to the low income, money falls from heaven and it further entrenches them in their economic class.
Cry me a river.
If heaven can afford over a trillion dollars for the war in Iraq and another trillion plus to bail out the richest people on earth from their own excessive greed, Heaven can surely afford to help out the working class.
Funny thing has happened in this country, instead of calling welfare, welfare, these days politicians call it tax credits.
Couldn't agree more. And the people who benefit from tax credits are those who will put that money right back into the system thus inevitably that money ends up where?
In the hands of some business, of course.
I'm failing to understand what you're whining about to be honest.
The reason we're going into this depression is the same reason we went into it in 1929.
Average people's salaries aren't keeping up with the cost of living while the of incomes of people with disposable incomes is so high they're seeking ways to invest it, which include stupid things like betting on naked dereivatives.
The rich are nice folks, but we really can't trust them with too much money.
They're forever blowing bubbles with it.
