Why is it that "moderators" can interject BS into a debate?
It is no doubt that the moderator lied, because the moderator had previously admitted that Rubio was right on this point and the organization that the moderator cited has already come out and said it is all BS and Rubio is correct.
What, specifically, is the difference between Rubio's actual tax plan and the one the moderator portrayed?
According to Politico, "Rubio plans to campaign hard on the complex plan he introduced this year with Utah Sen. Mike Lee that would use the tax code to reward families with children while slashing levies on business and investment income but keeping a top rate personal income rate of 35 percent, far higher than many Republicans would like."
My recollection is that John Harwood stated that Rubio's plan would cut taxes on the wealthy. Well, since the wealthy earn most of their money from investments and not salary, Rubio's plan will cut taxes on the wealthy by a lot. It will also raise the deficit. Rubio's plan would also apply the 35 percent rate to individual incomes as low as $75,000 -- raising taxes on this portion of the middle-class.
Giving a few thousand dollars to poor families as credits does not off-set the huge tax-cut for the wealthy.
For every network but Fox, the media's job is an unrelenting assault on all Republicans so nothing surprising here. Then there job at a Democrat debate is try to build them up.
The US media votes over 90% democrat so they all consider their primary job to try to woo the populace in such a way to get Democrats elected. Fox is the only network that is close to bias free although they probably lean slightly to the right...I bet most people working at Fox are Democrats.
What a perfect example of Media Bias. Questions that were ridiculous. It's obvious they wanted the GOPs to look bad so their "golden lady" albeit a liar and egotistical b*t*ch looks better. Hopefully the American people can see through their scam.
They refused to answer the hard questions. None of them have any idea how the economy works.
Cruz instead of answering question on debt ceiling went off on mods.
They have nothing.
That's really true, they don't know how the economy works. As an example, Cruz went of deriding quantitative easing, which economists say avoided a depression. Cruz said something about quantitative easing is a giveaway to the rich. At the same time other conservatives say QE hurts savers.
This whole aversion to easy money doesn't seem to have much to do with any coherent economic argument, evidently has deep roots in the conservative mind.
