Ted Cruz argues that tax cuts hugely weighted toward the rich will unleash such massive growth that everyone will benefit. “The effect of that is incredible economic growth," he said. "It means every income group will see double-digit increases, from the very poorest to the very weakest, of at least 14 percent."
Gosh, where have we heard that before?
But there was also a new twist to the old logic: Don’t just give the rich a big tax break, but also cut wages for the poor.
Ben Carson declared that lower wages would actually reduce high unemployment within poor communities.
“Every time we raise the minimum wage, the number of jobless people increases," Carson said. "It's particularly a problem in the black community. Only 19.8 percent of black teenagers have a job, who are looking for one. You know that, and that's because of those high wages. If you lower those wages, that comes down.”
