you want to unleash the middle class cut income taxes by 50% or more on the 99%.
its what keynes states is necessary in situations like these.

you realize how moronic those comments sound from any groups which support obamacare.
By design it sucks every last disposable dollar out of 80 on 90 percent of the workers who had / have disposable tax dollars.

For instance Obamacare sucks about 4000 dollars a year out of my account vs previous medical insurance.

How many families are going to spend the same after that happens?
What about when payroll taxes got raised.
What about the massive inflation that has caused by the Fed pumping a 1000 billion (looks more real) a year into the economy so that are carne asada burritos went from 4-5 dollars to 7 to 10 dollars.

These leftist and the cronies have destroyed the middle class with their destructive policies.

Some have claimed repeatedly right here on this forum that most of the 99% do not pay taxes anyway.

Actually it is 43% of the 99% --- which is not "most of".

You forget all the shadow fraud. That figure is highly underreported. How do I know? It just feels right.

Flat lined wages have been and continue to be a problem. I am and always have been skeptical that cutting taxes on the so-called 1% will have any real impact in todays world. Trickle down, if it ever existed, is a concept of the past.
There was a time when if the company you worked for did well you could expect a decent pay raise. That happens today and the best you hope for is that you get to keep your job. Maybe they only layoff a few instead of dozens or hundreds. Maybe they keep the healthcare contribution level the same.
You see, pay raises for the average worker requires a sense of shared prosperity that just doesn't exist anymore at the senior management/boardroom level. I'm not sure how you change a hooray for me, fuck you attitude that permeates the ruling class of our corporate society. You can lower there taxes in the hope that the great pharaohs of our time will pay the servants a wee bit more, maybe hire an extra slave or two, but whatever they do for others will be minimal compared to how they enrich themselves with said tax cut. The best thing we the people can do for ourselves is train for jobs that are in demand. That degree in the humanities...probably not the right direction. Learn a useful skill. Learn how to market that skill on your own rather than some type of collective bargaining. Just be better, which actually in this day of mediocrity and half measures, really isn't all that difficult for a motivated person.
