>I don't buy the notion that federal policy has to punish savings by pumping easy money into the economy.

But we were talking about the income tax... QE is a little questionable in my book, too.

>Savings is key to increasing consumer confidence.

Maybe for someone who makes $50,000. But someone who makes $5,000,000? There's a point where it really don't matter anymore.

>And when all you want to do is pump up numbers without looking at the core of it all, you don't have a sound, long-lasting policy. Instead, you are doing nothing more than monetizing federal debt.

Once again, weren't we talking about income taxes?

>Now if you want to run this by your "economist" friend and have him explain why this is sound economic policy, that would be great. But if you want to be like most of the other libtards on this thread and claim authority without demonstrating one shred of analytic thought, then you'd be wasting my time.

I just sent him your post... he's a university economist who has been widely published. We'll see what he has to say.

But to say I'm not giving you one shred of analytic thought is the pot calling the kettle black, at best. You responded to none of my post. You're just declaring victory and going home again. Don't be a dick like that. I'm trying to directly respond to all of your points, at the expense of actual work I should be getting done, particularly yesterday.
