Are tax cuts ever a sound economic plan?

I'm no economist but ,tax cuts sound like a better idea than subsidizing San Fransisco field mice, dog parks, keeping bums in homes they can't afford, Frisbee golf courses,global warming study( AlGore already knows it all),bailing out the UAW....

I would really like to see the sources for your "facts". They sound like typical trickle-down Reaganomics assumptions.

Also, I find it difficult to believe that most people making 20K even have 401k's.

Also also, congressional spending also creates jobs. Congress doesn't just assign the money and then burn it. Congressional spending allows congress to target the sectors for job growth.

Tax cuts typically come at the expense of the poor, since they pay the least in taxes already. You also make bold assumptions that the wealthy prefer passing down wealth.

If you cut income tax there will be less revenue unlike business tax and those businesses employ more who in turn will have to pay income tax. As far as 401k I believe individuals should have an option as where their money can be invested instead of in the same company they are working for. Companies who went belly up took with them the 401k of their employees.

Income tax rate cuts always increases revenue to the treasury? Stop right there!

How the bleep is it what the Republicans choose??? Who became in fee of the abode and Senate until at last this final election? The Republicans handed a sane budget and your perfect pal grimy Harry Reid and his Comrades stated it became ineffective on arrival? How approximately shoving OBAMA CARE down our throats even nevertheless we did no longer like it? How with reference to the main important boost of discretionary spending in lots of many years? in case you declare to be a Psych. you have gotten taken some too lots of your guy or woman meds. bypass into the actual international and attempt to make a residing, get removed from the lecture room you blithering QUACK!

It's a nice theory.

In reality, they just keep the extra money for themselves and don't re-invest it within the company.

Greed is human nature.

And...

If the reality of it played out like it did in theory, Bush's tax cuts would have helped the economy and not hurt it.

The data is clear.

When taxes are cut both the government and the nation at large benefits.

There is abosolutely no evidence to the contrary.

So by your formula, Bush's tax cuts should have balanced the budget, the economy should be strong and unemployment should be very low. So, tell me. What happened?

they are if you accompany them with spending cuts.

that's the idea at least. it's a solid idea.

the problem with bush is, he lowered taxes, and then raised spending, you can't have both.

that's the problem with swarzzneger too.

Not everybody. It would create jobs which means liberals would have to actually work for a living.
