Lies the Republicans told you

[Guns Guns Guns]

Romney and his Republican allies have long argued that tax cuts will stimulate the economy and thus boost tax revenues...


Tax cuts have been in effect for over a decade.

Where are the increased revenues?

Where is the prosperity?

Where are the jobs?

Is there any way to make the G.O.P. proposals seem fiscally responsible? Well, no — not unless you believe in magic. Sure enough, voodoo economics is making a big comeback, with Mr. Romney, in particular, asserting that his tax cuts wouldn’t actually explode the deficit because they would promote faster economic growth and this would raise revenue.


And you might find this plausible if you spent the past two decades sleeping in a cave somewhere.

If you didn’t, you probably remember that the same people now telling us what great things tax cuts would do for growth assured us that Bill Clinton’s tax increase in 1993 would lead to economic disaster, while George W. Bush’s tax cuts in 2001 would create vast prosperity.

Somehow, neither of those predictions worked out.

Yeah, because SuperFreaks's daily character assasinations of Obama are such appealing threads.

So the Republicans screaming about the evils of deficits would not, in fact, reduce the deficit — and, in fact, would do the opposite. What, then, would their policies accomplish? The answer is that they would achieve a major redistribution of income away from working-class Americans toward the very, very rich.

I know that as usual, you are putting personalities before principles.

Can we please stay on-topic?

The Tax Policy Center has analyzed Mr. Romney’s tax proposal. It found that, compared with current policy, the proposal would actually raise taxes on the poorest 20 percent of Americans, while imposing drastic cuts in programs like Medicaid that provide a safety net for the less fortunate. (Although right-wingers like to portray Medicaid as a giveaway to the lazy, the bulk of its money goes to children, disabled, and the elderly.)


But the richest 1 percent would receive large tax cuts — and the richest 0.1 percent would do even better, with the average member of this elite group paying $1.1 million a year less in taxes than he or she would if the high-end Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire.

Shows why a stupid troll who posts under two names but has zero college economics winds up burning himself.
Obuma is tripping over himself to issue supply side cuts cause he knows it's the only way to save his ass.

burn!

There’s one more thing you should know about the Republican proposals: Not only are they fiscally irresponsible and tilted heavily against working Americans, they’re also terrible policy for a nation suffering from a depressed economy in the short run even as it faces long-run budget problems.

So when Congress passes legislation extending the 2% reduction in Social Security payroll deductions, you think that means Obama "cut taxes"?

In the House, 91 Republicans and 41 Democrats voted against the bill. In the Senate, 30 Republicans and six Democrats opposed it.
