You posted this article from a LIBERAL RAG!!!
Coming out of the closet are we?
Well then, America’s only hope is Mrs. Clinton—vote early, vote often
McCain and Bush birds of a fiscally insane, irresponsible feather. 300b in tax cuts and 30b in spending cuts. Meanwhile my young generation will be paying for the 400b/year deficits for the rest of our lives.
I stopped reading at this point. A silly article.
McCain's tax plan isn't perfect, but it increases his core political appeal to this voter.
“You posted this article from a LIBERAL RAG!!!”
While we must automatically believe that anything a liberal writes is suspect, it does bear doing a little research before jumping ot conclusions.
“Paying for his tax credits” is a liberal mantra and non-sequitter: Tax cuts generate growth and that growth, even taxed at the lower tax rates, produces an increase the total amount of tax revenue collected. See, e.g., Kennedy cut of marginal tax rate; Reagan cut to marginal tax rate and CBO reports. BTW: what was your point in posting this article? Just to show how wrong one person can be?
1. Simplify
2. Flatten
3. Lower
Uh (belch), make that “To pay for his $300 billion a year in tax cuts” not “tax credits” But I think y’all get my point.
Why read past here?
He IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE. He is simply the new republican.
And where, pray-tell, is an analysis of the Hill-Obama tax reform proposal(s) that the American Prospect, I’m sure, embraces? How will the Corporate Tax Rate compare with the other G-7 countries after Obama and Hillary are done with their wind-fall profits taxes and other “reforms”? When has a serious tax-reform proposal emerged from the Demo controlled Congress? And what happened to those tax-reforms back in 1986 when the Gipper was in charge and bargaining with Democrats? And when Bush Sr. was promising “no new taxes” but finally cut a deal with the Demo Congress? I don’t remember the American Prospect or its earlier counterparts applauding the statesmanship of Bush Senior in 1992. And I don’t remember the American Prospect or its earlier counterparts complaining that Bill Clinton’s tax policy was making America uncompetitive with the rest of the world.
Have the authors looked at the success rates of the flat-taxers in Eastern Europe and Ireland (even Russia)? I bet Senator McCain would welcome a proposal on a true flat-tax reform plan being brought forward by leading Dems from Congress! Yeah, that’s the ticket! Bring on your proposals, Progressive Liberals!
Yeah, you got me!
while agree on the spending problem, tax cuts are not a zero sum game. A billion in tax cuts is not a billion less going to the government. It is an increase of money going back into the economy, which leads to more tax collection further down the line.
Tinkering with the income tax won’t solve the problem. It is beyond repair. It’s time to replace the income tax code with a consumption tax via The Fair Tax. Fair Tax ping!
There might be some useful facts sprinkled through the article but I got the definite feeling the author was simply debating that McCain’s socialist policies weren’t as good as his socialist policies. When he speaks of smaller government he isn’t talking about the principle of keeping government out of private sector business he’s just talking about a kinder gentler imposition of government interference.
It is filthy liberal, anti-war pansy ass rag.
don’t forget “do-gooder.”
Nasty, stinking do-gooder's!
