Republican Economics (Reaganomics): Tax breaks for the rich, and let it trickle down

I am not an economist, I have no grand and convincing arguments against this idiocy--but Kansas and Louisiana! Facts do not lie, if you care to open your eyes and be honest. Overwhelming facts of the failure of this policy.

This is exactly the response I knew I would get. Facts are overwhelming as to the idiocy of Republican economics and argument is impossible. Plus, the obvious greed of that party freezes the heart and makes speech impossible.

There is no defending what has been a blatant redistribution of wealth upwards over the last 30-plus years, but the policies that have perpetuated it have been the responsibility of both parties; Republicans have no shame about it, Democrats pretend to.

Fiscal and monetary-policy under both parties have been atrocious for decades. Congress hardly even makes those policies anymore, banks do.

Well - we're still waiting for the trickle down from Reagans term. I guess it needs more time. :? :!:

It has to flow many decades, and probably many more, to get here.

What policy? Democrats give the rich more tax breaks than Republicans do. Tax shelters are alive and well no matter who sits in the drivers' seat.
Unfortunately, your perspicacity is limited to those with whom you have a disagreement du jour.

Total and typical Right wing BS. Look at the v**e in the Kansas and Louisiana legislature? Google who takes money from oil in Congress. Democrats? Definitely. But Republicans times three. The economy and stock market has improved under the Democrats consistently. Show differently.
If you want to hide behind a wall of words like perspicacity your sexism, well done but you may be the only Republican that can define it.

If you wish to hide behind your own catchall phrases of "r****m" and "sexism," feel free. Most people can define those terms, although perhaps not to your satisfaction.

Also, just for you, I will try to confine my speech to words of two syllables or less. (OOPS! ) I just made a boo-boo, didn't I?
If you have trouble with any of the big words, let me know and I will do my best to explain them with smaller ones that you can understand.

Back up "Democrats give the rich more tax breaks than Republicans do." Sources!
The basic economics on the Right is to give, as in Kansas and Louisiana, Big Business tax "incentives" (welfare for the rich) that has ruined both states.

I will do so later. First you wanted back up for my other statement, which I provided. That is more than you have done for your statements.

Haha, okay. Yes, by all means keep it simple; one syllable or less is good. Or if you can make it lower, fine. Zero syllable works.
You have used perspicacity in two threads. Arrogance, not erudition. Pathetic.

I have used perspicacity? Should you exercise the action, there would be no need to use the word.
