The Republicans have enough members to override this veto. This failure is 100% the fault of a few RINOs we need to get rid of.

Is it truly good tax party. A tax cut can hurt commerce and economic growth. They’re not all good. GW Bush passed some garbage tax cuts that hurt the economy. Clinton did his $250K RE exemption and we’re still suffering from that misallocation of capital.

How?

GW Bush passed some garbage tax cuts that hurt the economy.

Really? Is that why we had 6 years of growth, full employment, low inflation, lower deficits and higher revenues?

Where do you get your economic ideas? Karl Marx?

You cannot think of a tax cut that would hurt the economy? The tax code is full of them.

Secondly, do some research. The first Bush tax cuts were poorly implemented. The phase in was stupid. It wasn’t until late 2003 that they got it right. Also, it did contain tax cuts that caused distortions, particularly in student loans.

As I recall, the first cut was a small rebate, and it was implemented very well.

I cannot conceive how not taking people's money away from them could be bad unless you believe all wealth belongs to the government. Tell me more!

The tax code is full of tax cuts for special interests. You knew that or you do now. Those ‘tax cuts’ hurt the economy because they either cause misallocation of capital or they punish those to whom the cuts are unavailable.

Do more research on the Bush tax cuts. Many of them caused harm. The rest of your post is nonsense and doesn’t deserve an answer.

Absolutely correct. Those foul turds need to be flushed down the toilet ASAP.

Your contention that some tax cuts can hurt the economy is exactly the same as saying some tax hikes can help the economy.
Go back to wherever you came from, Bunky. You’re on the wrong site.

How about two?

1.Current tax law allows the National Football League, Professional Golfers’ Association, and National Hockey League to operate as nonprofits. Cost to the taxpayers is about $91 million a year just for the NFL and NHL, according to Senator Tom Coburn’s Waste Book (2012).

2. How about special expensing rules for Hollywood? Filmmakers and TV studios have the option of immediately deducting expenses up to $15 million if 75% of production was done domestically as opposed to writing off over the normal 15 to 39 years.

We want a tax code that most certainly rewards entrepreneurship and encourages commerce without distorting the market. Under that circumstance lower is always better. What you see above is classic rent seeking via the tax code. It means you, I and everyone pays more so they pay less. Thus those “tax cuts” are really tax increases for us and our tax code is riddled with them. Capisce?

By now, and may look familiar to you, but the rest of your post is nonsense and doesn’t deserve an answer.

I did in post 16 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3065596/posts?page=16#16

There are more, I am certain you can do your own research at the federal, state and local level.

Hopefully your posse won’t come after me. It’ll look like unlucky pig day at a sausage factory. ;-]

And how do those “hurt”? They may not be to your liking, but the stimulate economic activity and generate far more in taxes than they cost.

Try a little Bastiat, first.

But, I’ll indulge your longing for learning. You and I compete. I get a tax break you don’t. Fair?
