@lillatmd Maybe because your country don't do a true method of which in a way makes it actually work. In Europe it works quiet well, even though there are of course issues with it.
@repubtx Id say taking 1/3 of your estate(death tax) is raising your taxes. Let PBS go to the gov for their money since they fuel the idea that your funds are limitless.
I'm older and obviously much wiser than you muzz...the "Carter malaise" was the result of end of the Vietnam war. Nixon's "wage and price controls" resulted in double digits inflation...that along with doubling and tripling of oil prices.
Blaming Carter for problems created by previous administrations is just partisan non-sense.
Had we followed Carter's comprehensive plan for energy independence, we'd be telling hostile oil producers where they can put their stinking oil.
In 1980 the U.S. was the number one economy in the world...
#1 in manufacturing
#1 in exporting hard goods
#1 lender of money...the U.S. was the worlds bank
#1 standard of living...the largest middle class in the history of the world.
After 30 years of Reaganomics we're at the bottom of the list of industrial nations...in all categories. If we continue with Republican policies, most Americans won't have a pot to piss in.
@muzzleflash7 So, you are basically saying that the Repuplicans were weak because in order for them to maintain their military fetish, they had no choice but to compromise with the evil liberals on social pollicies; thus going against their convictions so that the military industrial complex could receive their entitlement spending as eventually supported by this very band of socialists. How ironic!
@sketchyinc So, from your vitriol laced reply, I can only conclude two things. Number one, military spending is not an entitlement. It acually is one of the few items that our constitution calls for spending on. Secondly, whenever I see the term "military industrial complex", I know who you are. You're from the sixties aren't you? I should be so honored to have been set straight by you o' enlightened one. I was wrong to have ever believed in the honor of our military establishment and war pigs.
@muzzleflash7 Um, I was not even born until the late 1970's. I never said that military spending is unconstitutional or unnecessary, however, I was merely stating that reckless military spending should be should be scutinized, just as Dwight D. Eisinhower mentioned when leaving office.
By the way she was wrong, in the chart at usgovernmentrevenue (dot) com / downchart_gr.php it clearly shows that tax revenues did go up to record levels. But, the government decided to spend more than ever before.
The government shouldn't be looking for more one through the expiration of tax cuts. Our government wastes so much money, we are draining ourselves in two wars, we have so many bureaucratic offices that step over eachothers toes and many useless programs. We could afford Nationalized Healthcare and still have a very strong national defense, plenty of money already IN the pool.
Tax cuts suck? So it sucks that parents have more money to feed their children, instead of giving that money to the federal government so they can put it in the pockets of the bankers and special interests? What a fucking lunatic.
If you take your idea to the extreme, then putting taxes to zero would benefit all, because families would have all their money, the incentive structure (that is what tax-cut-GOP always puts out as argument) would benefit the economy and all is fine. That this is not the truth, I hope I do not have to explain you.
What is needed, is not to renew Bush-tax-cuts, but to deal with the fiscal problems. Everybody who calls for tax cuts now is a fucking lunatic
@MrFluxcompensator I don't care what happens when you take my idea to the extreme, I care what happens when you take my idea, period. Obviously the federal government needs tax money to pay for necessary services that Americans are dependent on. But any Keynesian economist, conservative or liberal, will tell you that lowering taxes is the necessary act in a recession. JFK and Reagan both did it. It's not a Republican idea, it's elementary economics.
@AmericanNohbuddy I mean keeping taxes low and not raising them, and if you don't extend Bush's tax cuts, that means taxes will be raised. Everyone will pay more, not just the rich. The cuts were an 8% cut for low-to-middle income people, and 6% for the rich. Everyone will be affected if taxes go up right now. People are barely getting by and this will be an added financial burden that they don't need.
That would mean in contrast, you should raise taxes after a recession, to handle fiscal problems that you ran up to boost your economy during a crises? I do not see any tax increase for the wealthy in the same amount as the tax cuts in the beginning of Bushs presidency.
The government just does not has the margin for a wide tax decrease; not with those fiscal problems. Additional to standard governmental services, we have to pay for two wars, a recession.
@MrFluxcompensator It's fundamental free-market economics that our financial success as a nation is dependant on consumption. Our economy is at its best when people are spending money, primarily the middle class. The middle class has more money to spend when it gets to keep a lot of it, and with that consumerism will be money being pumped into businesses, which create jobs. The more money individuals and businesses make, the more money the government gets, even if it maintains a low pct.
Sorry, but your economical background seems not very sophisticated. Even the CoEA of Bush said, that though tax relief can be an incentive, the amount of tax relief given by Bush did not generate enough tax revenue to surpass the tax relief. The notion, that you cut taxes and everything goes fine is wrong. You should take some advanced econometrics courses to read statistics.
Furthermore, a government has responsiblities (public goods i.e.), and they have to be paid for.
Consumption is not really the problem in american history. We consumed ourselves into oblivion ;). It is impressive how many people took out loans to buy stuff they cannot afford. And the same applies to government.
Bush and his folks more or less used the government to enrich themselves and make the society as a whole much more poorer. Who should pay for the deficits? The middle-class, the poor, our soldiers? And at the same moment the GOP denies any tax increase for the rich
Furthermore without a tax increase a steady tax decrease as argument during a recession will reduce tax revenue for the government until it has no money. I know that Reagan lowered the taxes; but he was mistaken in his expectations, that he would find the right point in the Laffer-Curve.
In my humble view a return to the tax-rates during the Clinton administration and the cutting of government expenditures like in the military-budget should be the way Obama should move.
It is all in the tax cuts.When Ronald Reagan entered office, the national debt was $994 billion and when he left office it was an astounding $2.8 trillion.When Bush jr entered the office, the national debt was $5.73 trillion and when he left office it was $10.7 trillion. So what does the real tea party want? More debt!
@randyguitarman13 ur the fool LOL I don't need to check shit I'll spell any way I want fool!!!! and ur so stupid ur the fool tricked by bush tax cuts LOL it fucked us youe beloved America and ur so stupid u didn't even know it LOL LOL they tell u anything and u believe it cause your stupid LOL I don't care what u say your hate is just that.. yours LOL
