Reply #58: I support anything that places more wealth into the hands of those that need it most.

I don't care if its through tax cuts, minimum wage increases, social welfare programs or health care subsidies. And I'm not going to hate it just on the principle that Ronald Reagan or George Bush signed it.

Your problem is that you can apparently only think in black and white terms. And thus you are insisting on conflating middle class tax relief with wealthy/corporate tax relief, when the 2 are actually on opposite ends of the spectrum when you compare the dynamics of their effects on the economy. The tax cuts that Bush or Reagan passed that favored the wealthy were supply side at work. The tax cuts that Bush or Reagan passed that gave relief to the middle class were not supply side.

I don't know how many ways there is to say that middle class tax relief is demand side. Anything that puts wealth into the hands of the demanders is demand side.
