Why Are Republicans So Bad At The Economy?

So you’d settle for single digit profits because your double digit profits were a couple per cent less?

Brilliant strategy there Mr. Buffett
Would I take a guaranteed single digit profit that's tax free over a speculative double digit profit that I might not make any profit on at all and if I did make a profit the government would tax the heck out that profit? Yeah, I probably would take that single digit profit while I looked around to invest someplace that wouldn't tax me so heavily! Like I said, Lesh...this isn't rocket science!
 
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.
They still believe in trickle down theory. Something they've tried at least three times and it never worked. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. In what world do they give money to the people who need to least. NONE !
 
You folks think you can get away with talking bad about taxcuts because you always say that only the rich benefit from them.

As I always point out...they never give specifics on tax cuts for the rich.

We are the we....we have been waiting for. ObamaChrist

MTF wonders why BHO did change the tax codes ?

You socialists still believe in tax and spend. You can't help yourselves. You're like retarded children who think that government is your God and that God needs to be appeased by drenching it with taxpayer money you insist never ends.

"So bad at the economy" bleeds yeah, come and hear my opinion. There was no need to read more, we've heard it all before, it's all BS, and shame on "scholars" who write such BS.

I find it highly ironic the Democracks protest no Kings, while all the same suggest a POTUS controls capital and improvements, only to double down on dumb, because they don't acknowledge congress nor understand what they're responsible for. They can't even handle history much less cause and effect.....Just on top of my head.

Democrats HEAVILY controlled both houses during the "oil crisis", which is another way of saying our economy was fucked for so many years, and it didn't stop with Carter did it?

Way to go Bill Clinton, with a Republican controlled Congress and Senate. You dumb shits, this was primarily the result of internet and tech > greatly expanded trade, with primarily Chinese > "Reaganomics".

Bush's housing crisis. I guess we'll just disregard the fact Congress ignored even Bush's warnings. We need to disregard the fact the bottom was on Obama's watch with a Democrat controlled Congress and Senate too, and the fact recovery was slow and unremarkable, I have ideas why but I don't wanna' confuse a liberal, they'll start screaming.

Trump got us the COVID, with a Democracked controlled Congress BTW. We need to ignore the GDP increased 33% Trump's last Qtr., before he was to be replaced by Biden. Gee, I guess Trump must be awesome then. KING TRUMP!, KING TRUMP!, LIBERALS ARE DUMB AS TREE STUMPS.

While Trump's GDP increased drastically, I think that's called a recovery, just don't ask a liberal, they're kind of fucked that way. Biden's 2021 saw moderate recovery, I think that's what happens with a recovery, when covid restrictions are removed too, but don't ask a liberal, they're kind of fucked that way.

Ummmmmmmmmm, they aren't. But, I understand your need to post cherry picked stats.

"trickle down" was a derisive nickname the Communists stuck on the Reagan tax cuts that caused trillions in economic growth

You never posted the tax brackets and the purpose

I hate to break this to you, Stann but "trickle down theory" only exists in the minds of liberals who never took Economics in college and don't have a clue about the subject! When someone uses that term it's like they placed a dunce cap on their heads and said "Look at me...I'm an idiot!"
 
You numbskull. It was Reagan's economic people. It fails every time.

You have a dunce cap on your head if you think anyone is going to buy your nonsense.

Yes, renewing Trumps 2017 tax cuts will be a winning argument.
And SALT is going to be ground down by the Senate and very few R's will want to vote against the Big Beautiful Bill. :thup:

Supply-side economics works every single time it's tried.

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.
Limbaugh was a great man. He re-ushered in American patriotism. Democrats hate him for that because they get revenue from promoting self loathing in mostly rich, white, elites who are Democrat, Marxist tools. '

Trump has ushered in a higher market and improved economics. Dunning-Kruger is a Democrat affliction.

Unlike you, John...I took Economics in college. I understand Supply Side theory. Trickle Down Theory is something that liberals like you who don't have a clue about economics, parrot endlessly.
