6. When He Says: “If Obama raises taxes on the job creators, it’s going to force them to start laying people off. Is that what you want?” You Say: “Actually, a recent study by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service found that raising the top tax rate wouldn’t have any impact on growth, but it would slow the recent dramatic increase in income inequality. And by the way, Republicans tried to kill that report because they didn’t like its findings.”

Then, the conservative should say that the actual causes of economic growth are:

1) increases in innovation
2) anticipation of changes in demand by businessmen
3) increasing technological advances
4) increasing productivity of labor
5) increasing capital accumulation
6) increasing supply of capital goods
7) increasing efficiency of production
8) increasing amount of savings and investment
9) increased ability to cut costs of production by businessmen
10) increased velocity of spending
11) increase in the money supply
12) increase in aggregate demand.
And, that raising tax rates tend to decrease saving and investment which has a negative effect on economic growth.

7. When He Says: “What about Obamacare? We’re trillions of dollars in debt already. Obamacare is only going to make that worse. We just can’t afford it.” You Say: “Actually, the law includes numerous cost-saving ideas, and studies have found that it’ll reduce the amount we spend on health care. One authoritative study found that by 2019, we’ll have saved $590 billion.”

Then the conservative should say that according to the study, “The law also begins to change how providers are paid and care is delivered, so that they are rewarded not for the volume of services they provide but for the value they offer.”

So they are going to save money by enslaving doctors.

isn;t it typical that the left have to put out talking points all the time, bumper sticker slogans etc.

They are unable to think for themselves and make an argument on what they;re supposed to be for.

I love the ones who call themselves Catholic but as soon as you ask” I thought Catholics were for marriage and against killing babies?”\\\They have no idea what to say because they;re dumb and off talking points now.
