Just go away.

[Mr. Mojo]

Jojo, get back to where you once belonged.

[plain talk]

You're a jo-joke and a phoney just like Kerry. FReepers are not dumn and stupid like the people democrats pander to.

But welcome aboard. Putting aside the partisan banter you get at any political site - conservative or liberal - I think you'll see this is a good portal for information on what's going on.

Klinton's tax increase had nothing to do with the balanced budget. If anything it encouraged the rich to shelter their money more. Rather, it was the Republican House's insistence on some fiscal restraint coupled with a overheated, unsustainable economic growth that Klinton had nothing to do with---and which was destined to bust eventually.

Most likely our troll here has never even PAID any taxes in his/her life.

Usage of the acronym PNAC is revealing too.



Now for a brief message...

[Alberta's Child]

It seems (as much as I was against it) that Klintoon's nominal tax increase on the super wealthy did work. It didn't hurt the economy, it didn't hurt the wealthy's input to creating jobs, and it did help reduce the deficit.

Your recollection of history is a bit hazy. The 1993 tax increases on the "super wealthy" had almost no impact on the economy -- in fact, the revenue generated by those tax hikes was actually projected by the Clinton administration itself to decline. The biggest impact of the 1993 tax hikes was from regressive taxes on people who were hardly "super wealthy" -- such as the 4.3 cents per gallon gasoline tax and the new tax on Social Security income.

When the 1993 budget was passed, it actually contained forecasts for long-term budget deficits for the next five or ten years.

The economy flourished, deficits were reduced, and the wealthy folks real income was increased.

Hey, thanks for the quick stop before heading off into oblivion.

Goodbye.

"taxing the rich" is the wrong thing to do...
regardless of what you may think,
it is a socialist concept.

"going to Iraq" was the right thing to do...
regardless of what you may think,
it needed to be done and Bush did it.

[republicanwizard]

Thanks!

[The South Texan]

Oh jeez, another one of those trolls is on Aisle 9. Clean up on Aisle 9 please!!!!

Trickle down worked til Bubba shut the faucet off.
