Wow! Why would the Republicans try to SQUASH this nonpartisan report?

Whatever floats your boat. It was a pro-obama puff piece written by an obama supporter as if it was a real study. It won't change a thing.

 

Control the assumptions. Control the report. Nothing to see here. Obam supporter throws kisses.

 

Earlier I wrote, "Economists are those people who have predicted 19 of the last two recessions.

One can make the dishonest case for practically anything by controlling the assumptions."

Really? Isn't it obvious that economists tend to be wrong far more often than they are right.

 

Earlier I wrote, "If you don't think you are taxed enough you are always free to send in whatever you earn to the treasury. So figure out what your worth and write the check."

To which you replied, for reasons known only to you,

If you believe your taxes are not high enough have you put your money where your mouth is? Have you written the check to make up the difference?

 

Your lack of being able to prove me wrong...........tells a completely different story. LMAO!

 

I agree with this sentiment.

 

What's extremely odd is that predicting the future is much more difficult than looking at historical data. I know its hard to understand. It took me all of nanoseconds! LMAO! Please don't run away. We need you to say things that you clearly didn't think about in too much depth before posting. In other words, this is exactly the type of entertainment we are looking for.

Thank You! LOL Really.........from the bottom of my heart!

 

Show me the impact it has had then.

 

Is your argument that economists have been right more often than they are wrong?

 

Well, why should we believe I am wrong, when you CANT show me where? HUH? Please don't run away. We need you to ask questions that shows your lack of understanding. Its the icing on the cake! LMAO!

 

No, read it again. Maybe you will get it, but we will see. LOL

 

My argument was.......its harder to predict the future than it is to look at historical evidence............when making decsions on the evidence.

If I am wrong, you will certainly point out where I am. If you CANT show me where I am wrong, well, we will just have to believe I am right until you can. So try. Try real hard or just run away because you know you cant! LMAO!

 

Awwww, don't run away. You can't learn what you continue to run away from! WHAHAHAHAHA

 

yes, I remember the Dems were willing to make temporary spending cuts in return for permanent tax increases, but only AFTER they spluged w/spending. Remember, when the Democrats took control of the House, the deficit was bad, at about 500b. Year by year they bumped it up to 1000b, then 1900b, then - after spending almost twice as much as they brought in, they wanted to make a 'compromise' to cut spending in return for permanent tax increases. You realize how stupid this is, right? On the one hand, giving more $ to an irresponsible body won't make it more responsible. On the other hand - they just ran the biggest spending spree in history. It's as if they were trying to make Bush look good.

if accuracy has no importance to you, then take this study and run with it. The GOP obvioulsy wasn't talking about external factors that affect GDP growth, like baby booms. Why the flipping f**k would they? WTF does the government have to do with creating a baby boom? Are you going to tell me that Al Gore invented the internet? GOP politicians talked about taxes for one big reason - it's the main thing that THE GOVERNMENT can do to affect the economy.

And, as has already been stated multiple times, this study has been retracted, not by the GOP Senate minority, but by the releasing organization itself.

Wtf are you talking about?

 

It finally tells the truth about 'trickle down' and the rights redistribution of wealth.
In short it proves the entire conservative party, movement, charade, lie, what ever you want to call it, is in fact damaging the nation.
The shocking part is they were able to get it pulled.
You Benghazi freaks what to investigate lies and cover ups.....this is the one you really should be focused on!

 

Where do you get the idea it was 'incorrect'??
No mention of that in any of the reports about this I have seen.
Are you making it up or is your media?

 

Bes' sit down after that spin job!

 

Mr. Hungerford, a specialist in public finance who earned his economics doctorate from the University of Michigan, has contributed at least $5,000 this election cycle to a combination of Mr. Obama’s campaign, the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

 

Show me the impact it has had then.

 

Is your argument that economists have been right more often than they are wrong?

 

Do you agree with Hayek then? He used historical evidence. Or do you side with Keynes who was wrong?

Is your argument that economists have been right more often than they are wrong?

 

100 economists will give you 100 different answers. The fact that this report did not take into consideration other policies that could affect the economy renders it meaningless. The CRS pulled it, they didn't have too.

 

So you understand that DEMS were not the ones wanting tax cuts to expire in order to spur economic growth, it was the republicans that were complaining that letting tax cuts expire would harm economic growth. The republicans were wrong. Ready to admit it yet or want to keep dancing?

Here it is again and I will keep telling you this until you prove me wrong or you run away because you realize you can't.

The dems wanted to end the tax cuts to help with DEBT.
The reps wanted to extend the tax cuts because they said it would hurt economic growth.

The republicans were wrong, but the dems are right in that letting them expire would have helped our debt.

Can you run away from something that you are trying to learn and still learn it? Is that how you learned as a child...........running out of classes. I hope not. In other words, if you want to learn, then you will stick around. If you dont' want to learn, then you will run away so you don't have to!

 

Why should this study consider OTHER policies when it was clearly about "tax rates on the wealthy over the course of 60 years or so"? HINT: It shouldn't have so your argument is moot.

Dems wanted to let the tax cuts expire to help with the debt.
The republicans objected this this expiration because they said it would hurt economic growth. They were wrong according to this study, no wonder they wanted it pulled. They will do anything to try to get the upperhand.

 

pretty sad that the GOP don't want this research coming out so the American public see for themselves what the numbers show.

So in short, there is no evidence to support that tax reliefe for the wealthiest Americans has been good for growth or emplyment. The evidence that tax relief for the wealthy has worsened income inequality, however, is pretty strong.

Why by so shameful to crush a non-partisan, factual report like this? SCUMS OF THE EARTH...
