But the extremely wealthy have taken the profits from the higher productivity of those below.

Why not add:

Sick pets? Tax cuts

Broken down car? Tax cuts

New shoes? Tax cuts

Robbery? Tax cuts

Because that would make about as much sense! LOL!

You see mortgage fraud would be a crime so how does crying tax cuts make any sense? Companies failing to properly classify bonds either through incompetence or deliberate means are cause for a lawsuit or having their license revoked--has nothing to do with tax cuts.

While companies having to lay off folks might not have to do so were their costs lower and that could be achieved through tax cuts. Same with frozen credit. With tax cuts a company may not need to rely on credit at all. So that might be relevant.

So how you can attempt to imply they are remotely similar is lost on me.

I'm far more for paying for what is only absolutely necessary and required by law as well as actually providing the oversight that's supposed to be provided, and then letting the market work regarding the rest.

I was responding to this orginal comment:


"Why is it then that those things haven't happened?

Now that's a diatribe I can support.

I was typing that with my tongue firmly in my cheek.


I want reform, not just rhetoric.

I think she was implying that conservatives believe tax cut is the solution to all problems.

If we have a progressive system, and the upper ALWAYS pays more, then we are just arguing percentages (on both ends).

Well obviously that's silly. I'm surprised anyone would think that was the case. I mean with so many successful people in that category of folks you'd have to know they're smarter than that. To imply otherwise is insulting.

So besides being selfish and uncaring--conservatives/republicans are now stupid too?

I think if I wanted to be successful I might actually try to learn what it is that made them that way instead of pretending they're merely evil. KWIM?
