No we haven't....not historically, not currently. That's another myth perpetuated by the right. I've already proven you wrong today on this very subject. Do I just need to post the same link again,or what? The past 2-3 economic recoveries took roughly two years to produce new jobs whether there were tax cuts or not. Its been shown that during a recession, the rich behave much like the rest of the population and save whatever money they gain through tax cuts. Economic cycles happen. As a matter of economic policy, it is a simple, indisputable fact that the poor benefit from tax cuts to the rich. The only strange thing about it is that the Left remains baffled by it. Not by any metric have the poor done as well as the rich. Not by any metric. By the metric of standard of living. There is no doubt about it. After 30 years of economic growth which began with the Reagan tax cuts, the standard of living of the American poor has NEVER been higher. Again, I've already posted proof of this which you conveniently didn't respond to. You selectively ignore those posts which prove you to be dead wrong, you chickenshit. These countries may be doing better but America is going downhill. It certainly is, and predominantly because we have half the people paying for the other half's existence because they don't want to work. We're tired of it. And aside from that it is killing the country.
