Why Are Republicans So Bad At The Economy?

[skews13]

Why? Republicans push tax cuts—particularly tax cuts that favor wealthy people and large corporations. Reagan, George W. Bush, and Trump all embraced this economic approach. It doesn’t work to stimulate the overall economy.

In fact, the U.S. has been victim to an epidemic of economic downturns under Republican presidents in the last four-plus decades.

The GOP’s approach has been to hand out tax cuts to really rich people in the hopes that their savings will “trickle down” to the rest of the economy. But studies have clearly shown that trickle-down economics does not work.

But if Republicans admit this and concede that the Democratic approach of focusing on middle-class needs has worked (as the data shows), they would have to give up on doling out tax cuts and shrinking the government.

It finally looks like Republican voters are starting to get it, and by the looks of the townhall events, the great tax cut scams are in big trouble. Can't fool all of the people, all of the time.

Democcrats never tax the rich. They tax the middle class to death.

It really just boils down to competence.

We are talking about a party where their last two Presidents were George W. Bush and Donald Trump.

What could go wrong with leadership like that?

It's plain to see that you don't know what you're talking about.

Taxcuts are a good thing.

You folks think you can get away with talking bad about taxcuts because you always say that only the rich benefit from them.

Total horse manure.

Taxcuts are good because it makes it cheaper to have a business in a country, state, or city were there are lower taxes. That means more jobs and more money in our pockets to spend. Both of which help the economy. But communists and socialists think they know better how to handle OUR money, so they take it from us. All that does is create fat & corrupt government bureaucrats, as well as lots of poverty.

Why?

Limbaugh convinced them that the (R) after their name automatically qualified them for Economics Expert status.

In fact, the best example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect is a Trumpster lecturing others on markets and economics.

Arrogant ignorance, 24/7/365.

The bottom half of earners already pay zero net federal income tax.
How can they get a tax cut?

It doesn’t work to stimulate the overall economy.

Tax cuts don't stimulate the economy? Why do you feel that way?
Any evidence to support your feelings?

But studies have clearly shown that trickle-down economics does not work.

Supply-side economics works every time it is tried.

Not everyone can be an economic genius like AOC.
Did you see when she saved her district from Amazon?
Now they can use the $3 billion she saved to spend on education and mass transit.

Why is your thread title a lie?

Democrats tax and fee and toll the SHIT out of the poor and working class at the state and local level. When they run their lying puke holes about the poor and working class I laugh.

These Dem idiots think government should control all the money. You know, because there's no fraud or waste in government and it's not run by morons.

Its amazes me leftist claim to be smarter and more educated, while the shit spewed from their mouths demonstrate they must b the dumbest mfers.

You fucks couldn't calculate cause and effect to save your lives, and you lack the bronze to think for yourselves.

U should start with a beginning govt. course, to explain separation of powers. You assholes act like trumps a dictator, all while treating potus as dictators, no shit, u assholes don't know if you're coming or going. My mistake, assholes can b respected, liberals r just dicks.

Oh sure, blame the housing crash on Bush, sure all the problems were his fault cuz u guys need the pacifiers. You dumbfucks, the democrats controlled Congress, but thats well over your heads.

and oh sure, blame trump for covid while govornors control States, shutting them down, and again the Democrats controlled congress.

Cause and effect, the democrats took potus because of the housing crash and covid, so with a natural recovery, u dumbfucks figure it was by their doing, fuck u guys are dumb.

Meanwhile, not a one of you can explain how potus create jobs, yet your teeny tiny fucked up heads pretend they do. at best they create govt. jobs costing the taxpayers, and private investment into govt. Costing the taxpayers toward the gov. Control u fucks pretend to hate. U don't, u fucks promote communism and prove to be dependent and needy.

They let their greed take over. Tax Cuts that only benefit the richest one percent. Stagnant wages and high food prices and high unemployment mean nothing to them.

Then I'm sure that will be a winning argument for you in the midterms next year.

I would repeat that loudly over and over again right before the election.

Yes, renewing Trumps 2017 tax cuts will be a winning argument.
