MSNBC dictator says to cut corporate taxes and raise consumption taxes
Edited on Fri Mar-04-11 04:29 PM by itsrobert
Tax cuts for the wealthy and use regressive tax system to jumpstart the economy.

The dictator is the sub for Dylan Ratigan: Matt Miller. Miller says if he was a dictator that is what he would do.

I cannot stand that guy.

He is a throwback to the "sophisticated wine-and-cheese liberal" that caused the Democrats to spend the 1980s in the wilderness.

6. all three of those guys were perfect examples of head up the ass commentary
Yeah, IF you were a dictator--why do Repugs wish they could do that? This is a democracy, can you work with that? Apparently no. No way to solve problems unless you seize power away from the people.

7. Businesses could make better decisions if they did not have tax considerations
And why not tax consumption? A luxury SUV buyer would pay more than me and my little $16,000 Chevrolet.

13. But it wouldn't work in this economy
Because people are not "consuming" at a rate that would provide the revenue required to maintain the roads...as an example.
