arguing about economics is about as fruitful as arguing about abortion. if there was a clear formula to execute against, we would be using it. so making an argument for or against is pretty much as waste of time because their is no right or wrong answer. economics is based on theory more than anything because and economy is based on countless critical factors that are all highly fluid and in a constant state of flux. The US Dollar can become worthless tomorrow if people think its worthless and for no other reason. thats how fickle an economy is.
Reagans tax cuts did not stimulate the economy?
life is a matter of perspective. if you look for the bad in something, you will only see the bad in it. if you look for the negative in something, you will only see the negative.
if you are trying to prove something by focusing on half the argument by using half the evidence and half of the facts, then it is not difficult to build a convincing case. it happens all day long, everyday on CSPAN and talk radio. it happens all day long between Republicans and Democrats. Missinformation happens all day long between Republicans and Democrats.
people can argue anyway they want, but i think its safe to assume that the majority of people dont want to pay more in taxes and they want more money back. if nothing else, its just good politics and a popular move. Its going to be even more funny when the tax cuts expire and not voting to continue them will be promoted as one side wanting to raise taxes.
