Just more usual democratic rhetoric, if there is a problem just throw millions of dollars at it.

and we prospered.

Woof, didn’t Charlie Gibson on ABC admit in a debate that our country’s economy grew and flourished when taxes were lowered?  How does letting people keep the money they earn hurt our economy?

The reason why we have deficits is because of the endless entitlement programs and pork earmarks that we are paying for.

This nation has been high taxed for generations.

...and we prospered.  We got tax cuts.  The world marks down our dollars now we’re in the hole.

WOOF,

Wherever did you get the notion that high tax rates cause prosperity, while tax rate cuts cause deficits?

We’ve been down this road before, and there is no substantive or authoritative support for either proposition.

Whatever is afflicting Lestat appears to be contagious.

No. Charlie threw out some short term numbers and lazy eco theory in asking a question to Dem candidates.
He did fervently believe he would be better off paying a lower capital gains tax.

Prosperity of the late 20th and
stagnation of the 21st century.

Woof, lowering the capital gains tax rates actually caused more money to be collected by that tax.  It’s a fact.  Bush’s tax cuts helped our economy greatly and ending them will only hurt and drive our economy into a recession.

WOOF,

Of course it’s more than a little difficult to sustain a claim that reducing marginal tax rates does NOT increase federal revenues, when, as everyone watching the discussion between Mr. Gibson and Mr. Obama clearly saw, the candidate himself back-handedly acknowledged that each time the capital gains rate has been cut, the revenues from that tax have actually increased… a fact which has been thoroughly documented.

MR. GIBSON: And in each instance, when the rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased. The government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?

SENATOR OBAMA: Well, Charlie, what I’ve said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.

As for that “lazy eco theory” you alluded to, we’ve been over this ground several times in the past few years, and you have yet to offer anything substantive to refute this, this, or this.  Nor have you offered anything to refute the equally important economic stimulus this country experienced after tax rate cuts instituted under Presidents Harding, Coolidge, Kennedy, Ford, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush.

If you have some sort of expert economic analysis that supports the conclusion that raising taxes stimulates economic growth, by all means please post it.

Pelosi, the best thing you can do for the country is lead the line up to resign with all your cohorts.  Now that is what I would call a stimulating move!

This nation has been high taxed for generations.

WOOF: You’re certainly not so dumb as to suggest a causality there, are you? How long have you been a Cargo Cultist?

Since the bales washed up on the beach.
