iI WAS keeping up ... I even copied your post so you wouldn't try to avoid denying what I was posting too ... I figured you'd respond in such a way, and also figured your "bubble head" twin would agree. Coincidently ... just as much as an Apple and Orange are different, so are they ALIKE ... both are fruits and a tax cut for the wealthy continues to be passed along as a tax increase for the poor ... matters NOT what you call it, it still takes money out of the pockets of the poorest to offset the additional money given to the wealthiest who DON'T need it.
No - you weren't keeping up. The subject matter of the post had nothing to do with economics. Where do you get that it did?
Here's WHAT you said AGAIN ... and I quote you ... "Why does the Left always justify a wrong with a another wrong?" unquote.
The reference - if you care to pay attention - was that using Ted Nuggents wrong to justify Giffins wrong is in itself - wrong. Again, nothing to do with economics.
You are taking comments out of context and trying to pick a fight. No where did I mention trickle down - nor did I say it was a good thing. I don't necessarily agree with it, but taxing the rich isn't going to solve it either.
I was and still AM pointing out the justification, for the past 35 years of Republicans cutting taxes for the wealthy to create jobs (bad idea) and making the poor pay for them.
I didn't realize the Republicans were in charge for 35 years.... at least one of us have been miss-informed I think. I could have sworn we had a democrat president in there some where, you would think they would have changed it. humm. I haven't seen the poor pay for much of anything , by the way, seems to me it is the middle class that gets left holding the bag. The ACA is a good example, the middle class are the ones paying the highest premiums. The rich are self insured so my premiums cover those making less than 35K.
In 2005, when ******* hit the fan, I told my wife one thing was for sure. The middle class have a choice to make, they either get rich, or become poor. Unless the people do something about the corruption in politics the middle class will dwindle away, Republican or Democrat - it isn't going to matter. We need some real change in the government and change in our way of thinking or this country will become nothing more than another 3rd world country that happens to have nukes.
