I agree with BigV. Steps in the right direction add up.

There is no fix-all. Baby steps? Fine. Better than backwards steps.

We had this discussion in early 2000s. Stated back then with numerous examples - a tax cut creates a short term economic boom followed by economic downturns. What happened? We got the usual and predictable recession since the rich got tax breaks.

All we need do is restore the fair and economically healthy taxes once paid in the 1990s. That is only difficult when a political agenda hype government welfare to the richest.

What happened when the rich stopped paying their fair share? We have the recession as predicted by history and predicted when tax cuts were being advocated in The Cellar in the early 2000s.

How to create jobs? Stop heavily taxing those who create jobs. Tax the people who do not create the jobs - the richest. We know that is when an economy is prosperous. We know from a decade of history that welfare to the rich only makes bigger deficits and economics downturns. As demonstrated by history. As predicted. And as it happened. Simply restore what works by ignoring the political agenda. An agenda that pays word games and Limbaugh logic by relabeling no welfare as a tax increase.

more and more people are stating that there are problems with the "theory" of evolution too. But that doesn't make it so either.

Actually less and less are.
The Buffett deal simply doesn't do much of anything. Sad, but true.

define "much". Don't Ask Don't Tell wasn't "much" help to gay servicemembers but it let them attempt to serve. steps in the right direction beat the status quo. why does it have to do MUCH to be a good idea?

From WaPo:

That is where the lying begins. Those who pay lower or near zero taxes also do not create the jobs. In fact, their increased income often goes to things that only increase national trade deficits and enrich the least productive (luxury good providers).

As history proves, tax breaks to those who do not create the jobs only contributes to economic downturns. We have a decade of reality to prove it. Meanwhile "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter" is the political agenda behind those lies.

I can't help but to think that if only America would do things the way God had intended for it to be done that the world would be a better place.

So, do you think the government should make it illegal to have a lying tongue or haughty eyes? Should rabble-rousing or stirring up conflict land you in prison?

define rich. define fair. . . . .
Actually, don't. It'll only make things worse.

or a more accurate and complicated assessment.

Its nothing more than political pandering. There are much better ways , as suggested above, to achieve the same end.

curious... you struck my use of "deficit" replacing it with debt. Then you used deficit yourself in a subsequent post. we have both, which do you think is more trouble?
