Republicans have also tried to discredit the private Tax Policy Center ever since the research organization declared that Mitt Romney’s proposal to cut tax rates by 20 percent while protecting the middle class and not increasing the deficit was mathematically impossible. For years, conservatives have pressed the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office to factor in robust economic growth when it is asked to calculate the cost of tax cuts to the federal budget.

“The reduction in the top tax rates appears to be uncorrelated with saving, investment and productivity growth. The top tax rates appear to have little or no relation to the size of the economic pie,” the report said. “However, the top tax rate reductions appear to be associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top of the income distribution.”

Voodoo trickle down economics being kept on life support by the Plutocrats and the idiots that support them.

You people are so full of BS and propaganda that you can't even take the 5 seconds it would take to use the search function and post in those threads that have already been posted and debunked.

No, republicans didn't cause a nonpartisan group of people to pull a report, facts did.

Mr. Hungerford is an intellectually dishonest person and you should be ashamed that you even attempted to listen to his propaganda and lies.

How does that change the fact that I forgot to author a thread on the topic??

By the way, if post multiple threads on a topic were a sin 90% of C-D posters would be half way down the road to hell.

Is there a sign telling everyone they're half-way?

If so maybe someone forgot to put it up...

Further proof of the mindless buying into voodoo. No wonder a snake oil salesman is the best candidate you can come up with.


This below is not anything new. It has been proven time and time again that voodoo economics is a scam!
Keep falling for it, but don't insult the intelligence and common sense of others by even bothering to debate it. Really, enough is enough!

The report received wide notice from media outlets and liberal and conservative policy analysts when it was released on Sept. 14. It examined the historical fluctuations of the top income tax rates and the rates on capital gains since World War II, and concluded that those fluctuations did not appear to affect the nation’s economic growth.

And your doctorate that authored the "findings" mentioned how your economic slave states, your standing on the world stage as far as manufacturing in the industrialized world after world war 2 and an effective rate much much lower than the marginal rate regarding 1950's era top taxl rates affected how all of that information could be skewed?

NO, of course not.

And why would he do that as an (snickers) academic?

It's alright if you choose to believe lies and propaganda but don't fret on all the rest of us because we're skeptical of Herr Joseph Goebbels.

You need to be asking yourself where would you be without tax cuts...

You have 5 decades of tax cuts to prove that not one president was willing to take the bet that if they didn't cut taxes what would happen.

Not that you're intellectually honest with yourself though...

Funny (ha ha, snickers ) how that coincides with full industrialization and globalization...

And when it was President Obamagogues turn to raise taxes he, of course, raised them sky high (or acquiesced effectively conceding).
