Haven't we heard this trickle down argument before?
yup. And it worked SO well. Notice how only a couple of the right wing folks are even brave enough to enter this thread? Hats off to the ones that did to be honest.
Watched as a CEO of a company called Water, tried to answer a question on what his company would do with increased income from tax cuts.
The answer was: return profit from over seas and distribute to share holders.
Not invest in business, not expand in US, not create jobs. Distribute to share holders.
That's why a progressive tax system is better for job creation and business expansion. Charge a higher rate and allow credits to create jobs and write offs for growth expenses.
Well I should hope so. We are not quite in the top 10% wealth bracket and our pensions and SS will only be about 67K a year and that's only higher than the average household income in Michigan and we need more income as we feel like paupers in our retirement.
Specifically, who said to cut SSI to the truly disabled?
I have TRULY disabled friends who cant get on SSI because of how hard it is too. YOur argument is far different from reality in most places. Although some red states have issues I hear with them using it instead of unemployment
The only problem with Elasticity of demand is that if costs go up for the entire industry or sector, all companies can raise prices without much fear of loosing customers to competitors, because they are all facing the same industry wide hike in the cost of doing business.

In response to a list which included SSI. So what would you cut from the list? Military? Social security?
