record people out of work, record people stopped looking, record on food stamps, record black UE, record blacks in prison. record inflation coming, record deficit.
You left one key factor out .... record population.

You have no idea how many people stopped looking for work.

Black unemployment is currently 8.3%, nowhere near record highs.

Inflation is at 0.5%, nowhere near record highs.

The last deficit was about $439b. Nowhere near record highs.

Unemployment has been above 8% for 41 consecutive months... (old data- more months now?)- Thanks, Obama and your Democrat friends for that new record
If you stop posting lies, you'll have nothing at all to post.

Recently released Gallop polling results contradict the administration's and OP statement. Apparently 76% of the respondents are mistaken, furthermore fail to know what's good for them. What more can one expect from the new order and propaganda machine.
 
Faun, the data presented is misleading, nothing more than garbage. Possibly understanding the methology employed to produce these glowing numbers should be researched.

Translation: the data is factual and you can't refute it.

Faun here's a clue, research poverty levels, foodstamp recipients, work force participation rates, and then investigate number of former eligible unemployment recipients that exhausted their unemployment benefits that remain unaccounted for?

And what does that have to do with supply side?
When everyone pays 20-30% in all taxes and fees, the rich make out, the nonrich can't save and produce healthy demand.

For the third time, what does this have to do with Supply Side…

Especially since the Supply Side theory advocates a reduction in marginal tax rates, not an increase.
Unfortunately, that's what happens, and supply siders don't seem to mind, dupe. They cut fed aid aid to states etc, and then states etc raise taxes and those hit the nonrich. Where ya been?

Where and when has this happened? Effective tax rates for the nonrich (and for everyone for that matter) have dropped. Especially in recent years.

Look up state and local rates. HIGHER for nonrich. Then think FEES.

Marginal federal tax rates are higher at the federal level than the local level. On net, people still pay a negative effective rate for individual taxes, so I'm not sure why you think state and local rates make a difference.

Mainly record corrupt GOP Depression and wage rise obstruction, dupe. Finally we're in full recovery mode.

Poor Families Pay Double The State And Local Tax Rate As The Rich: Study

Middle- and low-income Americans are facing far higher state and local taxes than the wealthy, according to a new report assessing tax data from all 50 states. In all, the analysis by the nonpartisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) finds that the poorest 20 percent of households pay on average more than twice the effective state and local tax rate (10.9 percent) as the richest 1 percent of taxpayers (5.4 percent).
ITEP researchers say the incongruity derives from state and local governments’ reliance on sales, excise and property taxes rather than on more progressively structured income taxes that increase rates on higher earnings. They argue that the tax disconnect is helping create the largest wealth gap between the rich and middle class that has ever been recorded in American history.
“In recent years, multiple studies have revealed the growing chasm between the wealthy and everyone else,” Matt Gardner, executive director of ITEP, said. “Upside-down state tax systems didn’t cause the growing income divide, but they certainly exacerbate the problem. State policymakers shouldn’t wring their hands or ignore the problem. They should thoroughly explore and enact tax reform policies that will make their tax systems fairer.”

*Note: Look at the portion I've highlighted in bold, for your own good…

You've probably missed the point when I mentioned individual taxes. Your source points out everything, except individual taxes. Again, the poor, as well as everyone, paid lower effective individual income taxes. I don't see how you were able to confuse these simple things…
