Let me get this straight. The GOP plan for ending our economic plight is to keep tax cuts for rich.
Which, are already in place; and have been for almost a decade. So, nothing new. The same cuts for the rich that are supposed to spur economic growth have done nothing to help the economy, or to even prevent a major depression.

And, everyone is aware of these tax cuts because of the ongoing fight to end/keep them.

So, how do Americans feel about it, and who are they supporting? Democrats, right?

Nope. Only 51% in a recent poll say that the tax cuts for the rich should be eliminated, and most voters are wanting the Republicans to take back power.

I'm sorry, but we are lost as a nation if Americans are to stupid to recognize that the solution has already been in place, and there is no proof that it has worked. Actually, just the opposite.

So, for now on, every Democrat, especially those in the media, needs to ask anyone supporting these tax cuts, 'What have they done for the American economy since we have been living with these cuts for almost a decade?'

1. Uh . . . evil controls the media. Therefore, they control the message.
Ergo, such a question will never be asked.

Quite the contrary. They'll parade fake statistics around showing that the Bewsh Tax Cuts were the greatest thing to happen to the economy since Supply-Side Economics. They'll also declare that C-A-T . . . really spells DOG, up is really down, and the commie liberal teachers were wrong all along.

2. We reduced tax rates on corporations in Canada ten years ago or more.
It hasn't resulted in the increased productivity promised.
