Newt Gingrich has asked people to post simple video explaining the effect of taxes on the economy using the fable of the goose that laid the golden eggs. The problem is, his whole premise is a sham, and the video itself and responses thus far have been simplistic demagoguery. Here is my light-hearted, similarly simplified (but reality-based), left-wing response to the Republican bait-and-switch myth. Since I know I won't win the contest, I went over the 2 minute limit. Typical Democrat, eh?
The deficit was never eleminated. It was projected and was based on the late 90's tech boom. Which ended in 2001. No one believes the government has a golden egg. The economy and economic growth is the golden egg. Sorry you didn't get the analogy and shifted the terms to suit your argument.
