Reply #12: They sell this garbage the same way they sell the rest of their agenda

[norml]

by promising that Big Money, Low Low Prices, and Jobs Jobs Jobs will come trickling down if only we remove most of the taxes, and regulations on the biggest businesses, and the richest people. Their agenda is all about getting rid of public services, protections, benefits, and rights. While such things can be overdone, the greatest prosperity the world has ever known has been during the times when we have had good public services, protections, benefits, rights, and a system of progressive income taxation, where the richer pay at a higher rate than the poorer. This makes it easier for those who are poorer to have spending money to stimulate the economy, and to better their lot. The economics of the evil movement that calls itself conservative are very bad for business, and very bad for society.
