The Republicans Were Right
No comments really, but saving for later finger pointing and general mockery.

Of course there is a point where tax reduction will reduce revenue. Where we disagree is where that point is. Conservatives think it is somewhere between 10% and 25%. Liberals think it is somewhere between 80% and 100%. Most but not all liberals understand people will seldom work for nothing.
The 1990's seem to indicate the conservatives are way off. Do real world events ever play a role in your internal dialogue?
Or maybe the 90's were one big trick orchestrated by the liberals. The whole booming economy, rising wages, rising hours worked, low unemployment, shrinking deficits....all a big scam designed to trick us into socialism.

I don't make it a habit of paying for propaganda.
Except for my cable subscription which includes Fox and CNN.

For those of you who did not live in the 90's, or liberals with memory problems; the big push was to cut spending. That is what finally balanced the budget. As a matter of fact it was not balanced. They used accounting tricks to make is seem so. A lot of people were overjoyed at finally getting something done. Sadly the Republicans decided that the way to majority was to buy votes like the Democrats did. We slapped then down in 2008 but liberals, as is normal, got the wrong message. Now that the Republicans are on track it is time to remove the big spending racist liars.

There are three kind of liberals;
Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

Two recent studies indicate that the oft cited, almost mythical, Laffer Curve is in fact a reality.
The only people who ever mention the Laffer Curve are dumbass socialists like yourself.

Smaller increases = cutting spending.
