Can we PLEAZE just do away with that utterly ridiculous nonsense once and for all?
Bush has had his entire presidency, with a Republican congress except for the last couple of years, and the average family income WENT DOWN while the rich got richer.
Let me repeat that. RICH tax cuts galore. Average family income WENT DOWN.
Clinton made his policies work under his presidency, and while the rich got richer, the AVERAGE FAMILY INCOME IMPROVED AS WELL.
Kissing the rich man's ass, thinking you owe your income to him, is sycophantic myopia. The CEO income goes up, up, up, and he robs the coffers on the way out, and he's praised as "decent capitalist".
Biden is right.
It's the AVERAGE MAN who drives this economy.
AND THE REPUBLICANS KNOW IT...
When we were talking about a "stimulus package", did we look at how we could send more money to the rich???
NO!
We sent it to the AVERAGE WORKER who wasn't so rich, and NOT ONE REPUBLICAN bothered to pipe up and say "But, trickle down! This money would be better spent towards the rich"
Bush has been cutting taxes during economic prosperity FOR YEARS, and now that we have economic problems, the neo-cons complain we can't raise taxes now...
(
except they won't admit it's just on the upper income crust)
You would think that if they truly believed the latter, they would have complained about the former as well.
The only trend here is one excuse after another to cut taxes for the rich, no matter what the situation...
