Rush claims that lowering taxes raises revenues. That is 100% false. Rush claims that during the Reagan era spending went down and revenues increased. Again, not true at all. Reagan left office leaving us with the hgihest deficit ever up until GW. Rush also said "liberals" vote to help poor people even though some of them are rich because all their money is already taxed and it's all passive income. Otherwise they would lower taxes on the rich. He forgets about something called common decency and fairness. Rush has said environmentalists cost jobs. That again is not true. On every single level, environmentalism creates cleaner jobs, just eliminates some which cause destruction, and if you kill the golden goose it lays no more eggs. A real clean fuels program would create hundreds of thousands of new jobs, for instance. Stopping drift-netting which wiped out everything in the ocean created fish farms and sustains the oceans. Saving rain forests and coral reefs creates eco-travel jobs and scuba tourist dollars. etc. etc. Rush has said liberals are for big spending. But Bush has spent more than any "liberal" in history. Rush told us Iraq was an imminent threat with nuclear capability. Untrue. Rush told us Bush is a honest man and Clinton a big fat liar. Bush's lies have swamped Clinton's long ago. Rush told us the best way to handle drug users is to put them in jail. Now he's learning that ain't so. Ths list goes on and on.
