The problem with socialists...their economic analyses are static.

[God luvs America]

"The Democratic candidates have acknowledged this and have called for high-end tax increases, while keeping proposed tax cuts targeted on low- or middle-income Americans. They have also called for new taxes on financial transactions. Most important, their tax plans are part of broader economic proposals to raise wages, including support for a higher minimum wage, unions, expanded profit-sharing and employee ownership. "

So higher taxes will raise wages...got it

Like anyone believes the math of the NYT...or anything else.
Hello.....they are journalism majors......

[Political Junkie Too]

All of these candidates deny fiscal reality. In the next 10 years, revenues will need to increase by 40 percent simply to keep federal spending even...

Then let's not keep federal spending even.

The NYT has a history of being wrong on so many things.....

[Grams A]

100 percent tax would not be enough for the present runaway government.

[John Valentine]

In the next 10 years, revenues will need to increase by 40 percent simply to keep federal spending even, per capita, with inflation and population growth.

If this is the fiscal program advocated by the New York Times (and by extension Progressives of all stripes), one can quite readily understand why the Republicans are looking for an alternative.

[Terry L Smith]

The New York Slime says the new tax plans won’t work.

Then where, dear Editor-in-Chief of the NYT, is YOUR proposed tax plan?

[Timber Rattler]

Flashback:

Obama open to newspaper bailout bill

[jughandle]

When money gets tight in our house we don’t spend as much. Seems to work nicely.
Why do they always approach it from the view that spending can NEVER be cut?

[dead]

In the next 10 years, revenues will need to increase by 40 percent simply to keep federal spending even, per capita, with inflation and population growth

Why don't we just give them every cent we earn, and they can give us cheese, rice and federal housing apartments.

Oh wait, that's the Democratic Party's plan.

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! The toads down at the NYT are now tax plan experts. No wonder the country is so screwed up.

[BlueNgold]

Once again the assumption is the government has first right to the earnings of the serfs...

[Kenny]

Why would journalists know more about tax plans than the economists who developed them? This is where this country got off-track, thinking anyone with a megaphone is all-knowing.

They’re lawyers and journalists! They know squat about running a country except how to find ‘expert witnesses’ to put on the stand for their viewpoint.
