Both of my last two bosses have been pretty wealthy -- one a Dem, one not only a Republican, but worked in the Bush I administration -- they've both been wondering why they've been getting tax cuts. You have proven my point. Investors and employers are not the poor. They are the force that makes the economy go. They are better informed and better judges of who should be elected. Without the tax cuts, we would be in the middle of a recession right now instead of in a nicely moving recovery. Keynesian economics says we should be pinching government pennies, and should have been throughout the last couple of Presidents. The Democrat Congress did not implement Keynesian discipline during the 41st Presidential term (they make him eat his "read my lips" quote). It was only done a briefly during the third year of the 42nd President before Clinton used bluster to out maneuver them and get his budget busting increased spending. It has not been a feature of the 43rd Presidential term.
