Lies or wrong reasoning? If the stratification increases the progressive system of taxation should lead to the higher revenue or not?
"As corporations and high- income Americans claim ever more of the economic pie, revenues rise, even if there’s no increase in overall economic growth...."
*****Snip******
That statement is an our right lie. It is what is know in Ecnonmics as a Zero Sum Fallacy. The LIE is that the pie is one size. It is not, it grows. EVERYONE can get richer (what is going on now) or everyone can get pooer (the 1930 Depression) or some gain and some lose.
But the rich do NOT get rich on the back of the poor. It a stupid Marxist lie that anyone with even 1 class in basic Economics knows is a fraud. They know they are lying but do not care since it serves their "Holy Mission" of getting Bush. It a LIE, not a difference of opinion, A LIE.
Here read about it yourself. This is not a "difference of opinion" it is a knowing lie told by the NY Treason Times.
