Not what I said. How low should taxes be to cover the services we have decided we want and cover the debt we have incurred? I've asked a very appropriate question that you don't want to answer. Cutting taxes to stimulate growth only takes us so far. David Stockman will tell you that.
Yeah. Fred will get him to listen...yeah right.
Do you know who David Stockman is?
I didn't say he would.
I hesitate to believe anything pushed by the Left because of many years of misinformation, lies, whatever it takes to get their way. Clinton was the beneficiary of the dot.com boom so his tax hikes didn't hurt too much. Tax cuts are designed to stimulate a lack luster economy, which is where we're at. I'll agree that there's much more to an economy than taxes but tell me how an economy thrives if taxes are punitive?
Had to Google him but believe I saw something about him about 10 years ago saying the end is near. Looks like he's still saying it.
Would you rather keep your money and decide what you do with it, or give it to the government and have them decide for you?
94% of the Bush tax cuts went to the wealthiest 3% of the population. Combine it with the repeal of Glass Steagal and what do you end up with? The worst recession in generations. Now under the Trump tax plan everybody gets a tax cut except those at the bottom whose rate is currently at 10%. Well, that goes to 12%. Likewise under Trumps plan to boost military spending and infrastructure spending the federal deficit currently at around 590 billion will go to 1.5 trillion annually under Trumps plan. So what do you do? Simple. You go after entitlements including Social Security Medicare VA benefits Medicaid etc. Let's see how far he gets with that and still hold on to his Congressional majority?
You spew nonsense, nobody is touching social security, Medicare or the va. Typical democratic propaganda!!
WE as a NATION decide. That's the UNITED in United States.
You vote for your representatives that make those decisions.
Do you vote?
They have the votes in Congress to do it. It's all part of the first 200 days of the new session of Congress. Any new spending must be met with cuts elsewhere. With discretionary spending cut to the max all that's left to go after is entitlements. If the huge cuts that are on the table impact you in a negative manner you cannot blame it on we Progressive's because we don't have enough votes now to stop anything they want to do. Just remember the GOP ideology . If you're not rich.......it's your fault.
Well, whose fault is it? I'm not done trying yet. Dems believe everything that goes wrong is somebody else's fault and someone else should pay for their shortcomings.
SS is a pay as you go system. Those Congressmen want to keep their jobs. Just not going to happen, but let's revisit this in July.
