The main problem in our economy is the deficit. i dont see how you can attack the deficit while lowering taxes. It wasnt done during Reagan or either Bush. Now if all the corporations passed those tax breaks on to their employees in the way of benefits and increased wages, then yes trickle down would work. But that isnt the case. Do you need the numbers to prove it?
Theory and practicality are often two very different things. |
Where is the theory that says that raising taxes has a positive effect on the economy? How can hurting business help the economy?
