Reply #4: Clearly, tax cuts do not work; there are several reasons for the present

[rasputin1952]

fiscal insanity we are experiencing, and tax cuts are at the top of the list.

Tax cuts are worthless w/o spending cuts. While both parties are guilty of 'Pork Barrel" spending, the GOP is particularly noxious, in that they are supposed to be the "fiscally responsible" party.
Since these are not conservatives in the traditional sense of the word, the GOP has been taken over by 'neo-cons' and evangelicals that have absolutely no morality about them at all.

Tax cuts do not 'spur the economy' as the neo-cons would like us to believe. Those that are having a severe case of greed, will not 'invest' in the nation, they will profit from it where they can, and leave the rest to rust away.People with vast sums of money got those piles of cash by being cheap and greedy, not by being philanthropists.

Once the tax cuts reduced the governments revenue, the trouble really began. The idiot neo-cons are more than willing to bankrupt the nation, but they will ensure that someone who faces severe financial difficulties cannot seek bankruptcy protection. A nation goes to hell, and an individual damn near goes to debtors prison....they call this 'justice' btw.

Tax cuts during a war, no resources for a natural disaster, massive wealth redistributed to the 'privledged'......Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower are spinning in their graves....even Barry Goldwater, before his death, said the are not Conservatives, they are vandals with nothing less than the destruction of the nation on their sights.
