<< I prefer to look at each issue.
I'm all for cutting taxes, and reducing government. >>
I do too, and from all repubs, its all talk. If they deliver on 1/4 of their promises I'd be shocked. Ooo, ooo we might get to choose what to do with 2% of our money that the government robs us of (aka social security).

You want Libertarianism!
<< Actually, you can. By cutting taxes, you will actually INCREASE revenues. Reagan proved this. He cut taxes, and revenues doubled. He increased spending, and actually reduced the deficit by about 70 billion. So you can cut taxes, increase revenue, and therefore increase spendin >>
Ummm... Reagan reduced the national deficeit? Did I miss something? Where did you find that? Repubs 'R Us bookstore or something?

The one thing I learned from Republicans is that the Federal Government can't even wipe it's ass. Now hear comes Bush telling us all the wonderful things the Government is going to do. What a fisking lame assed LIBERAL he is. The pinko bastard wants to throw money at social problems. What Republican is going to buy that BS. Start the impeachment procedings.
"I agreed with everything Bush said"
What's not to agree with? He said he's gonna cut taxes, improve education, improve the environment... Basically make life just dandy for everyone.
Unfortunately, he left out the part about how he figures this will actually work.

He didn't mess up. That was about it. He still hasn't explained what fuzzy math he is using to pay for this taxcut, while at the same time he is raising spending. Last time I checked, that was called deficit spending. Another thing I don't understand is why young single people get screwed on taxes. I mean, married couples with children derive most benefits from the government, but they get a $1000/child credit. Kinda weird logic if you ask me.

Every Guy in office always says they are going to cut taxes..... but all there tax cuts are for like the super rich.....
there is no way you can cut taxes. They will raise them to help pay everything else.
Kind of like the price of gas... a while ago everyone was yelling it was to much.. where did all the yelling go? people got use to the price. and stopped complaining.. taxes same way... why lower them when you have them where they are and people are paying them? and Yes I Can't spell tonight.

I dont hear anyone complaining about dashles and gephardts bungled words in their 5 minute rebuttle. Both of them bungled a few words, who shall be first to make fun of their speaking abilities?
Also, it hard to give a tax cut and have it not go to the "rich". After all about 25% of the population pays about 75% of the taxes.

His predicted 5.6 trillion surplus would require a period of great wealth and happiness in the economy throughout the nation. right now, in case no one here has noticed, we're in a slight recesion. We're not going to have all the money he's projecting (and thus no 5.6 trillion surplus), even if he gives tax cuts. The markets would have to do better than they did under clinton. not likely
it is a fact that reducing taxes increases government income. This tax cut won't be costly at all, it will increase government income.
Reagon did NOT create the debt, however it did go up during his time in office do to inflation early in his first term, (which he had no control over) and pretty massive spending on the military so we could keep up in the cold war.

The Congress has greatly increased spending over the last three years. So the Republicans are liberals?
ABC and CNN have both hounded Clinton like crazy the last couple of years, but have laid off Bush (because a recent media panel said they thought the public was to burned out)....but they represent the liberal press?
Unbelievable hypocrocy and utter ignorance of simple reality on this board gets quite irritating sometimes.

Well, I'm glad our fearless leader Georgey is gonna help us out. I mean, of course all government projections are correct! So let's prosper, and use our fuzzy math. Did he put his cocaine habit in his budget? Jack Daniels? I guess he has a designated driver now, so that's a good thing I guess. And no, the person who said that every president messes up a few words, does not near make up for Georges butchering of the English language.
This is gonna be a long 4 years...but then it will be over, we'll all be fuxored, and finally people will see......

Ferocious, <<The Congress has greatly increased spending over the last three years. So the Republicans are liberals?>>
Actually, repubs and dems both love to spend money, they just love to spend it on different things. True conservatives don't want to increase the size of the government and would keep spending in check.
<<ABC and CNN have both hounded Clinton like crazy the last couple of years, but have laid off Bush>>
..uuummmmm.... are you aware of any huge scandals that Bush has been involved in since he became the prez? What exactly should they be "hounding" him about? Pardons? No wait, that was the Bill and Hillary show. Bill and Hillary have been in all sorts of scandals, and that's what they were 'hounded' about.
TheManiac<<And no, the person who said that every president messes up a few words, does not near make up for Georges butchering of the English language. >>
Hmmm... in light of your own *ahem* brilliant use of the language as displayed in that sentence, you might want to refrain from saying anything about anyone else's use of the English language 😉

GW Bush pulled it off better than I expected.
<< Reagon did NOT create the debt, however it did go up during his time in office do to inflation early in his first term, (which he had no control over) and pretty massive spending on the military so we could keep up in the cold war. >>
So Reagan didn't sign the budgets that lead to increased spending and deficit spending?

tagej, the crap Clinton faced was REALLY REALLY all about the huge scandals he was involved in SINCE he became pres. Yea, like Whitewater and Paula Jones. If we had inforcable laws against white collar crime Bush would be in jail for insider trading.
Reducing taxes increases government revenue. Nowhere can the truth of this be seen better than if we were reduced taxes to zero. Voluntary gratitude donations to the government would go into the trillions overnight.

Moonbeam,
No one has stated that reducing taxes to 0 will increase govt tax incomes. When the population is overtaxed, decreasing taxes will cause increased tax revenue since more money is going into economy, not into the govt. This happened when JFK and reagan(he cut top tax bracket from 70 to 40%) cut taxes. This cannot be denied, this is fact.

charrison, Not only can it be denied, it is constantly denied. There are no one armed economists. The factors that drive the economy are profoundly complex. There are all kinds of theories on how it works and they are all, in my opinion, more a reflection of the temperment of the theorist than of the economy. You have simply convinced yourself that your version is right. I need to know the real truth, and what I do no is that I know nothing.
When you say that no one says that if you reduce taxes to zero revenue will go up, I say that is exactly what is implied by the statement that if you reduce taxes revenue will go up. I am merely pointing out the absurdity of the statement to those like yourself who in fact don't see it. If you saw it, and saw it clearly, you would say that there is a theoretical point at which taxes could be set that would maximize revenue. For one thing the country would fall asleep in the middle of such an argument, and for another it would become patently clear that nobody has the slightest idea where that point is. The debate always procedes as a play to votes via voter greed for money or sense of social responsibility. Naturally this is just my opinion.

Law of dimishing returns. I agree is the tax cuts are too deep, tax revenues will go down. But I also know I am paying too much in taxes right now. I want my muffler.
It is also not responsable to the govt to overtax the people. IF there is a suplus in the budget, it does not belong to the govt. It SHOULD go back the PEOPLE.
