Horse Shit.........You Wish!
Every time we had tax cuts for the rich the national debt increased proportionately. Think about it for a minute.........it's not rocket science.
The DEBT increased because SPENDING increased... it had NOTHING to do with the tax cuts! You can go look at the US Treasury Dept. website and see the tax revenue numbers ROSE 78.5% under Reagan. We INCREASED tax revenues!
And it wasn't "tax cuts for the rich" it was tax cuts on the top marginal wage earners... the RICH don't pay income taxes because very few of them earn taxable incomes. Most of their earnings is investment income. The tax cuts went to the small businessmen who are trying to
become rich.
Horse shit! Damn funny things were fine and the national debt was about $1 trillion when Reagan started.......$4 trillion when he finished.
Because we had a Democrat congress that REFUSED to cut SPENDING!
Ol' Friend.....you're either ignorant or you're a goddamned liar. A fool can see the tax cuts and what they caused:
The Republicans never have seen a tax cut for corporations and the rich they didn't like but never have quit spending for their pet projects and war machine:
These figures came from the bureau of the debt....they're easily verified:
