They need to say not only that but that when taxes have been reduced in the past thaT revenues have gone up, not down due to that economic growth. The democrats say Romney lied and cited bogus studies when they came up with the “$5 trillion” deficit. Biden interrupted Ryan when Ryan was mentioning Jack Kennedy but he was attempting to make the effort.
The basic problem is that Romney and Ryan don’t seem to understand that they must combat these lies with the actual evidence. Don’t talk in generalities. Come right out and say that when the Bush tax cuts took effect in 2003 government revenues went up and that the only way the democrat lies work is that if you assume a static situation where no one changes their behavior. MAKE THE DAMN ARGUMENT WITH THE OBVIOUS FACTS AND MAKE IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Good grief!
And what should Ryan have done after Biden so rudely cut him off by saying “Now you’re Jack Kennedy”? He should have realized that the primary focus/response of Obama since the first debate was to brand Romney a liar and he should have realized the primary example they are using of that allegation is the tax plan. He therefore should have come right back to that issue the VERY NEXT TIME he had a chance to speak by saying “Martha I will address your question shortly, but, because the Obama campaign had accused Mitt of outright lying in the first debate, it is very important that I finish addressing the tax plan issue, that is if the Vice President will allow me to do so without interrupting me.” Then LAY IT OUT and don’t address any other topic before you have had a chance to make your case. If the other side/moderator knows that you won’t be waylaid or distracted from making your point, they will eventually figure out that it is better for them to stop attempting to distract - because they look like idiots. Hopefully Ryan has learned something from this experience.
They should also say what is a $5 Trillion deficit to Obama other than a good start?
To even consider uncollected taxes a $5 Tillion deficit you have to assume you can’t cut any spending and all the money earned in America belongs to the gummit.
