this is why you dont vote Democrat when you have an economic crisis.....

Agree.  To listen to him talk on Kudlow about how inflation is not a risk, and how the Fed has started on the right course, I just wanted to pound his fat f’ing face.

 

Just seems like everyone in Washington is trying to postpone the inevitable instead of dealing with the problems head on.

I'm with you KOAJ, those tax cuts payed off  for me when the tech bubble started to grow.

The "Bull Market" of the "Clinton Years" was largely fueled by productivity gains in the US labor force. Higher productivity led to higher real wages per hour, which led to higher consumption by the hard working American middle class, ect...Tax cuts for the middle class stimulate the US economy because the middle class spends most of their tax cuts on the kids clothes,  school supplies, video games, computers, a car, ect... Tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans do not increase consumption or help the US economy, dollar for dollar, nearly as much as tax cuts for the middle class. How does a tax cut for a CEO's salary (15% long term capital gains, not really investment and risk/ reward, but rather a salary paid in stock options to the CEO,officers, members of the board, ect... at a lower tax rate rather than a salary at a higher tax rate) help the US economy relative to tax cuts for the middle class when a certain percentage of that revenue goes to investment in China, Brazil, India, ect... Those countries who have had the highest manufacturing output, throughout history, have enjoyed the highest standard of living, rising property values, the most stable governments ( throughout history many governments have become unstable and been toppled when the wealth of their economies stopped at the king, the Czars, ect... and did not proportionately enough make its way down to the masses. look at the Revolutionary War founding America, taxes too high on the masses in America, too much wealth held by the king of England and not making it's way to the masses in America, and George Washington, ect...sign the Declaration of Independence and started the revolution), ect... My middle class risk/reward American investments, trades, ect... is taxed at over 40%. My middle class salary that I spend in America is taxed at over 30%. What tax cuts have the Republicans given for the middle class working people who helped make America great while running up the "Federal Deficit" which will sooner or later have negative consequences on the US economy?
