Can socialists in this country explain how taxing American corporations/companies more is good?

[Conservative65]

The bought off GOP obstructionists and the dupes are unwilling to do anything about it...I know, a tax cut for the rich...

What amazes me is the hypocrisy of the right. After eight years of complaining about the ever growing national debt, every Republican candidate immidiately calls for budgets that slash taxes on the wealthy to record low levels. Every Republican plan added at least 10 trillion to our debt
Not a single Republican plan would cut our debt

Last time I looked, almost $10 trillion of that debt was added during Obama's 8 years.

Your point?

Where has a single Trump economic policy reduced our national debt? Republicans whined like little bitches about the debt, yet have no plans to reduce it

Proves your claim incorrect.

Trump hasn't been President. Obama has and the debt has almost doubled.

Obama is not running, Trump is

If Republicans are as upset about debt as they claim ...why do none of their plans reduce it?

Trump isn't President. Obama is.

Are you saying that something that hasn't been tried fails because the results haven't occurred?

Republicans have had total control of Congress for two years.....why haven't they reduced the debt like they promised?

They like their jobs.

Republicans did not control congress when either Obamacare or the stimulus passed. In fact that was when the Democrats had a supermajority and the Republicans couldn't even filibuster them. Remember the Democrats rushed Obamacare through after Ted Kennedy died before Scott Brown could be the 41st vote to filibuster it

I don't really believe that Republicans would have done it much differently, but trying to blame ACA on them is pretty pathetic. It's the biggest corporatist sellout I've seen and the Democrats own it outright.

Because they're just as bad as the Democrats?

So who owns the massive job and career losses that occurred under GW and thus created the need for ACA?

 

[dblack]

We have economic policies at a national level. These policies impact where increased wealth will congregate. Thirty years ago we sold out to supply side policies on the promise that wealth would trickle down to working Americans......it never happened

Why continue economic policies that only help the one percent?

I bolded the portion of your post that answers your question.

You see what happened to the economy after Pelosi and the democrats took over the purse strings in 2007?

Let me know what happened from 2007 to 2010.

Thanks.

The Republicans? Does that make the Democrats selling us out ok with you? This two-party suicide has got to stop.

The House and Senate are run by the republicans....they control the spending.....Shrub left a $1.2 trillion annual deficit for FY2008 and destroyed the whole economy. Obama cut the annual deficit in half.

Congress was controlled by Republicans when Obamacare and the stimulus passed?

Doesn't change that the DEBT was about half of what it is now when Bush left office.

Republicans haven't had the supermajority Democrats did when those two passed.

Ah, I got confused by what you said. Thanks for clarifying

The reason greedy people work so hard to control economic policy is that economic policy controls wealth.

This is what's so sadly naive about modern liberalism. You think that the way to mitigate economic power is to co-opt it with government. But all that does is steer those seeking economic power into government. Then they have both economic power AND political power. It means that not only can they set prices, they can force us to pay them.

W and the Democrat congress own the massive job losses since they did it together. As for that creating the need to bleed more jobs, WTF is that supposed to mean?

This man's been shot, shoot him again!

Great point. Sadly, it just sailed over the head of every liberal

They reacted to an economy that was destroyed by 8 years of GW.

The problem is that this board doesn't have too many non-partisans.

So then does the revolving door close when conservatives control government, or are their motivations just different?
