Republicans: why raising taxes on the wealthy is good for the economy

I have always wondered how one who is not a 1%er becomes a defender and apologist for the 1%.
Some people aren't jealous of those who have more than them
So you defend those that MILLIONS a year at least because those that don't make enough without getting FS,TANF,Medicaid are jealous? Wow....special kind of stupid aren't we. How about standing up and defending the right of ALL people having the right to a livable wage? Don't ya just love how all the Walton heirs only make their millions because of their granddaddy or uncle or etc was? They didn't do shit to earn it...Man republicans are a special kind of dumb...you let me know the next time some rich piece of shit does something for you.
You're a special kind of dumbo envious retard, arentcha?
I am no where near as ignorant as you are I promise you that.I make sense you on the other hand do not.

Inherited wealth is always a source of envy, isn't it?

After all don't you envy the Kennedys with all their inherited wealth? None of them did a damn bit of work in their lives but yet Libtards loved them.

I married the pretty school teacher only making $10K a year back in the 1970s. John Kerry married the ugly rich bitch and made hundreds of millions over night, didn't he? I bet you voted for him in 2004, didn't you? Are you envious of the money he made being a gigolo?

If you want a liveable wage then the next time you go to the polls vote for somebody that promises to get the government off our backs and to stimulate capitalism so that the economy will boom.

If you are going to vote for Liberals that thinks prosperity is created through increased taxation and redistribution of wealth then you will just have to suffer the dismal consequences. Just don't bitch about not having a liveable wage because you are the cause of it.
Didn't vote in 2004....I was going for Kerry simply because I hated Bush...Kennedy's deserve their wealth to be redistributed as well.Capitalism is a cancer that needs to be eradicated COMPLETELY from the US. It does nothing but the rich get richer and the poor become poorer as the studies have shown.

A Republican on USMB just told me he made all his money back from the Bush recession and then some. Sounds like Obama's did a great job cleaning up Bush's mess. This is why your party is so focused on how Obama's doing with ISIS. You can't say a think about his economics. The only thing you can say is that the middle class and poor aren't doing well and we all know you guys don't give a shit about them. When Bush was in office and the poor and middle class weren't doing well you said they were just whiners who either needed to go back to school or start their own business'. So take your own fucking advice. If the economy sucks then you suck. No one elses fault but yours, right?
Remarkable case of cherry picking and arguing by anecdote.
The facts are that workforce participation is back to the late 70s levels, GDP growth is paltry, household incomes are stagnant, household wealth is stagnant, government dependence continues to grow from already high levels, business formation is at the lowest point in a long time
Those are facts. Not what some guy on a messageboard told you once.
So start sharing the profits with the workers. Walmart just gave their employees a raise. That's a start.
Why should WM share profits with workers? What did they do to deserve that? And nice job dodging and deflceting.

Uh because THEY are the ones SELLING the product wal mart uses slave labor to make? I swear there is something in the water for people to be as dumb as Rabbi is.
Im OK with properly regulated capitalism. The rich took over our government and had the rules rigged in their favor. Crony capitalism is what we have now.

That's what you always get with "regulated capitalism." The term is virtually an oxymoron. Once you give government the power to reward some and penalize others, the ones who get rewarded are always the friends of politicians.
 
We argued this in 2008. Stop defending the criminal mortgage and bankers and GOP. Next you'll bring up Freddy and fanny.

None of those people were forced to sign a mortgage they couldn't afford.

The only time and I repeat the only time one should refinance a mortgage is to shorten the term and lower the rate.
Who knew, not solving the underlying problem of poverty in our republic would have such dire consequences, especially when the right prefers to practice their socialism with more government programs...blah...blah...blah, instead of actual solutions through recourse to our Commerce Clause.
uh....sparky.....how long has the left been waging war against poverty?

Is it at all possible that your "commonsense ideas" are not working?
They worked for 50 years then you sent all the jobs overseas stupid.
Maybe, policies public helped, but that is no excuse for Yankees not being Ingenious. There is no excuse for our private sector to not innovate regardless of which political faction is in power.

Of course there is a reason not to innovate. Why would anyone bother innovating if government is going to take all the benefits of doing so?

The underlying problem of poverty is that we have created a welfare state that discourages productivity and rewards an individual being a ward of the state.

We have created a welfare plantation and the slaves masters are the Liberals politicians that get elected to that job by the slaves themselves.

Being a slave to the welfare masters isn't so bad of a job. All you have to do is go to the polls to vote every once and awhile and then you get to smoke pot and drink Colt 45 Malt Liquor as the welfare checks and health care subsidizes come in and you are fine until the next election so you are well taken care of.

There are more people that suck at the teat of welfare than the traditional welfare queens. It is also Wall Street with its bailout. Big corporations like GM with their Obama bailouts. Farmers with their crop subsidies and environmental wackos with their subsidies like Solyndra. The list is actually quite long.

Real Conservatives are against all government transfers. All welfare, subsidies, bailouts and entitlements. If you are not against all those things then you are just another Progressive. and part of the problem and that includes RINOs.

You are welcome to your special pleading. Excessive prohibition leads to privateering such as any form of fraud.

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.
Thomas Jefferson

Your sentences make no sense. I think you just take random words from the Dictionary and assemble them into sentences that sound to you like they mean something.
 
When you use the term, innovate; you don't seem to be referring to advancing those useful Arts which enable persons to produce and transport goods and services at potentially lower cost. What you seem to be saying in this case and alternative, is that the private sector cannot get bailed out fast enough by the public sector, instead of innovating better complementary transportation technologies.

That isn't what he said.
 
One of the fears the framers had of democracy was the fear that the mass of people through their vote power would elect reps that voted goodies only for them. That has not come to pass. Congress seems more afraid of the large business interests than the voting power of the people. As America grew more democratic the framers fear of democracy has not seemed to take place. If true, wonder why that is? In short, why do so many poor people vote Republican?

Actually, exactly what the Founding Fathers feared has come to pass. All the useless parasites in society have learned the can vote themselves of someone else's paycheck.
 
I'd like to get what I lost in the stock market back when the banks fucked us.

I got mine back a couple of years ago.

And since the value of my home went down $40K, I'd like that taken off what I fucking owe!

That's a great idea! I'm sure some of the deadbeat borrowers who defaulted on their loans can scrape that together for you. Let me know how it goes.

They lost their homes and the banks made a fortune. Fuck you douche bag
And why did they lose their homes?

Could it be because they bought homes they could barely afford on an ARM ?

Could it be they remortgaged their homes multiple times as the values were artificially inflated so as to buy more crap they couldn't afford??

We argued this in 2008. Stop defending the criminal mortgage and bankers and GOP. Next you'll bring up Freddy and fanny.
What was criminal about what they did? Who went to jail? Where are the charges?
More tlaking points debunked last Ice Age.
They should be charged with gross negligence and criminal incompetence for constructing such a fragile house of cards. They should be charged with fraud for claiming that it was sound and robust. And they should be charged with collusion for gaming the system and then covering each others backs.

In short, they didn't break any laws.

Thanks for playing!
 
Obama screwed things up so now they need Hillary to fix it.

You are correct. Liberal economics produces poverty,misery and death. Their ideal society is Cuba because income inequality is the lowest there. Everyone is poor and miserable. Except the political elites.

You really got to wonder why these numskulls think they're entitled to a share of the profits when they didn't put up a thing to earn a share. Profits are the share that goes to the owners. The workers are already getting their share. We call it wages and salaries.

Really pinhead?

People in your tax bracket shouldn't be taxed so much.

I get taxed plenty because the cost of government is too high. Everybody in America gets taxed too much. It is over 40% of the GNP and it hits all of us some way. For instance, the filthy ass Feds collect almost a trillion dollars a year in corporate taxes. Every cent of that tax comes from the people that buys the goods and services that the corporations provide.

You don't fix the problem by reshuffling the deck of winners and losers. You fix the problem by cutting down on government spending so that nobody has to be taxed so much.

No you get taxed too much because the Walton's want a tax break. I'd rather give you the break. You all spend it and stimulate the economy.

When did the Walton's ask for a tax break?

Hey, enough with the Waltons. They've finally given in!!!

There are laws against everything I listed.

And $6900 aint shit!
Ford Motor Co.'s nearly 50,000 U.S. hourly workers — including 22,500 in Michigan — will get smaller profit-sharing checks because of lower North American profits last year.

Checks will average $6,900 and will be cut March 12, the Dearborn automaker said Thursday. Last year, Ford workers got a record $8,800.

I live in Michigan. That means Michigan workers are going to get $155 million. If Rick Snyder thinks he fixed Michigan's economy, he's fucking nuts. Ford and Obama fixed Michigan DESPITE Snyder.

Oh and last year it was $198 million that Ford employees in Michigan ALONE got in profit sharing. Way to go Snyder, you worthless bastard. Ride Obama's wave bitch!

I live in Ohio. The auto industry rebound has been good for the state. Kasich knows it, and other than trying a little union busting early on, he has been pretty much a fan of Obama bailing out the auto industry.

Kasich might be an interesting candidate. He has some good experience at the national and state levels both.
He's not a whack job and he don't seem to owe the t party anything in Ohio. But he is a Republican. There's that.

Rick Snyder is the same. They all are. If you compare all the GOP governors across the country they even introduce the exact same legislation via Alec. Stand your ground was one. Tax breaks to the corporations and cut government spending at the middle class and poor's expense. Great example is Snyder is going to either raise gas tax or sales tax to fix the roads. So he gave his boys a tax break now says we don't have the money. And he made michigan right to work. So he's good at passing right wing legislation but does it like he's making the tough choices. He taxed seniors pensions.

But he got re elected. Why? Because stupid americans don't think voting matters so they don't show up to midterms.

I just thank god a democratic presidents in the white house because otherwise the republicans would really not give a fuck about the workers. I'd have all 3 branches of Michigan government being GOP and all three federal being GOP and the supreme court leans right. Would we want to give them all that power? Not me.
 
This is Obamas recovery. You can't say Obama sucks and these guys are good. You'd have to prove that with examples of jobs they created.

None of those things is going to happen, cupcake.
Maybe you should be charged with stealing people's time with your stupd posts.
 
Great article. All should read.

Taxing the rich is good for the economy Marketplace.org

"One of the most pernicious economic falsehoods you'll hear during the next seven months of political campaigning is there's a necessary tradeoff between fairness and growth. By this view, if we raise taxes on the wealthy the economy can't grow as fast.

Wrong. Taxes were far higher on top incomes in the three decades after World War II than they've been since. And the distribution of income was far more equal. Yet the American economy grew faster in those years than it's grown since tax rates were slashed in 1981.

This wasn't a post-war aberration. Bill Clinton raised taxes on the wealthy in the 1990s, and the economy produced faster job growth and higher wages than it did after George W. Bush slashed taxes on the rich in his first term.

If you need more evidence, consider modern Germany, where taxes on the wealthy are much higher than they are here and the distribution of income is far more equal. But Germany's average annual growth has been faster than that in the United States.

You see, higher taxes on the wealthy can finance more investments in infrastructure and education, which are vital for growth and the economic prospects of the middle class.

Higher taxes on the wealthy also allow for lower taxes on the middle -- potentially restoring enough middle class purchasing power to keep the economy going."

not taxing the rich but giving them subsidies would be good for the country since the wealthy are wealthy because they ( think Steve Jobs) have invented things that we all want to buy to increase our standard of living.
 
This is Obamas recovery. You can't say Obama sucks and these guys are good. You'd have to prove that with examples of jobs they created.
It is Obama's recovery. Thanks for agreeing.
What does Obama's recovery look like:
Lowest work force participation rate since the 1970s
Stagnant household income
Stagnant GDP growth
Stagnant household wealth
High unemployment among 21-30 year old
Highest level of government dependence in history
Highest government deficits during a recovery.

In short it is the worst recovery on record. Because Obama's policies suck and have failed.
