It is not so much that we lowered taxes.
What happened is we chased a good number of formerly American jobs elsewhere, many to China.
That made American businesses a great deal of money.
Unfortunately it has also made a great deal of formerly American companies, now Chinese.
A whole lot of the GOP is now sold out to China.
The problem with that is, the GOP has no ownership.
So what has happened is, an ever smaller segment of “American” interests have an ever larger interest in maintaining the current situation, which will eventually blow up in America’s face.
And Democrats will be in control, when that happens.
The GOP has made a great deal of money, but now we need to bring back American jobs to America.
That is just the deal.
We cannot continue to send America jobs elsewhere.
We need to repatriate American jobs.
The biggest issue is how that is done.
We need jobs.
There is a lot of truth to what you are saying . But, still when you lower taxes for the corporates and then they still recieve corporate welfare, contracts, subsidies etc it is natural that they are going to protect high governement spending. That is the thing we missed when we demanded lower taxes. We thought that they would then lessen governement spending but it has not worked out like that.
