"Democrats love your economics. I prefer capitalism to consumerism, but that is why we probably disagree." One has to be pretty ignorant of economics and politics in general to think giving people as much of their money back as the voters will allow is "Democrat economics".
I presume like Rand you favor the gold standard, or some such variation, that rewards hoarding as much as risk taking. Under that standard, as the pie gets bigger everyone that sits on his share of the gold has his assets inflated proportionally, parasites on industry. By definition half the available capital will always be in the hands of gold brokers. That's cripples capitalism. Greenspan started there, and then grew out of it.

Please, I made a basic supply-side argument which is Republican politics 101, and you did not realize your mistake.
Your response is little more than a vanity.
BTW, what does it mean to give 'people their own money back' at the same time you diminish their buying power by growing government?
