Take George W. Bush's big tax cut.  It mainly benefitted the wealthier, the supposed "job creators and investors" yet they didn't create jobs (in fact we lost millions of jobs under Bush with his tax cuts in full force) and did not provide any meaningful economic growth.  In fact, the Bush tax cuts ended up costing us 2.1 trillion dollars over ten years.  It did very little for the working class.  And as for investments - we got all the wrong things - wealth extraction, hoarding and offshoring of money and the investments were horrendously irresponsible, we had tons of real estate speculating driving the housing market up into an unsustainable bubble, we had a lot of things like rebundling of the bad debt and other high-risk things going on.

Republican tax policy has already been tried.  It did nothing for us.  The evidence is in,, and it's irrefutable.  It's time to abandon the notion of tax cuts for the rich and move on.[/quote]

Shaddap. It's not like you pay ANY income taxes anyway. Freeloader's opinions do not count.[/quote]

Okay, then as someone who pays a lot of taxes and would benefit from a tax cut for the wealthy, I'll ignore your opinion.  For the record, I support taxing the wealthy more and I think that rich folks in lower cost of living red states should pay more in Federal taxes because their states take more out of the Federal government than they put in.  You want to live in a low cost of living state with low state taxes--then you can pay more into the Federal Coffers since your state takes more out than it puts in.[/quote]
