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? No, you didn't. And I could prove you wrong ten times over. I have all the links to the studies and reports bookmarked, but I am not going to bother. You can't teach a partisan dog new tricks. 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. If tax cuts worked, the cycle should be shortened. The cycle has not been shortened; therefore tax cuts do not work. 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. Nonsense. You think it so you think its true. The facts do not support your position.
