Tax increases have never in history stimulated any economy.

The economy is already growing rapidly. If tax increases make the economy grow faster then there is the danger of the economy overheating and causing serious inflation! Hence, it is too far dangerous to have tax increases!

Shoot a man in the leg, and tell him to run faster.

Works every time.

Would like to see just one example of higher taxes improving an economy...

There are just too many demoncrats (90% of them) who live under the influence of meth, and continue, for the 80th year, to preach the communist ideology...

I think they mean speed it up after directing it towards a steep cliff leading to failure.

Since we're in the best economy since the end of WWII, no. Anyone advocating such a ninny idea should be dragged out and beaten to death with steel pipes. NY Slimes / Partisan Media Shills alert.

Democrats are so stupid, their presidential candidates actually have “My Idea is Stupider than Your Idea” contests all day long. And stupid democrat voters take them seriously. There is no help for these people.

Historically, tax increases bog down the economy. The democrats call for tax increases universally. That is all they know.

Democrats have never seen a tax they did not like. Tax increases have never sped up the economy in the past and yet they still think it can make the economy perform better. Einstein was accredited with the statement “ the definition if insanity is keep doing the same thing and expecting different results”

Who knew it needed speeding up any more than Trump already has?
