You let the market drive a demand for it rather than artificially pretending things like raising minimum wage is the cure.
How about the government take away those property rights, tax breaks, basic research and delevelopment funding, limited liability laws, corporate charters, commercial transaction laws, trade laws, currency inflation, interest rates, wage laws, and bailouts, and see if the market can run itself.

Way to embarass yourself by posting a bunch of meaningless unrelated topics.. Its like talking about baking cookies, during an auto body shop. one day you'll realize you're in the wrong class room.
ooh lookie, someone forgot to raise their hand again before they embarassed themself
FEDERAL SPENDING has doubled.. Thats not even taking into account your claim that tax cuts are spending. If that was true, spending would TRIPLED...
Spending and revenues are completely unrelated.

Explain to me how allowing someone to keep their money, crashes economies stephen.. How old are you?
Tax cuts do not increase revenues. That's absurd. How's that working for Kansas?

So all your debates on this are futile.
Why wouldn't they be futile? They have an army of apologists.

And yet revenues increased so much so after Clinton cut the capital gains rate from 28% to 20% that you guys run around applauding him for "balancing the budgets"..
No. It means cutting taxes is unrelated to spending. Spending and taxation at the Federal level happen independently of each other.

I don't applaud Clinton for anything, and certainly not for "balancing the budget" (which was a goal of the 1% bootlicking Republicans). Revenues increased due to the dot-com economic boom cycle. It had nothing to do with tax cuts.

Yep.. which means tax cuts, are again, not spending..

You mean revenues increased, even though taxes were cut? Why thats impossible if we listen to left wing kooks because tax cuts would be spending, and thus it would be impossible to balance the budget with added spending.
Oh the endless circle of stupidity the left must weave in order to validate their nonsense.

Nope, just an army of people who don't want to allow the government to confiscate the property of other just because of the jealousy of those who want it taken.
You have never paid property taxes in your life. Please stop pretending that you have.
In my case, I had a lease which reduced the rent while requiring me to pay the actual property taxes separately. I asked for this in response to a tax shift which took more money out of my pocket while lining my landlord's pockets. (property tax cut pocketed by my landlord, sales tax increase taken out of my pocket) My landlord was okay with this because property tax creep was no longer a worry.
If you think renters magically escape paying property taxes, why not tax rental property 1000% more? Then homeowners like you wouldn't have to pay property taxes.

Continue deflecting. Apologists.

Voodoo economics still has a stranglehold on conservatives. They are more ideologically driven.
