The link contains tax rate tables that demonstrate immediate and quantifiable benefits to middle-class wage earners. Joe owes me a response. cn
Right about the time the graph for their growth goes up
Or. Right about the time the rate of growth slowed and started leveling off.
It's a circular argument I fear. I'm not going to convince you the Baltics had better results through austerity than other economies that tried stimulus using real GDP growth as a measuring stick, and you are not going to convince me otherwise by using cherry picked Krugman charts or by copy and pasting somebody's blog who used Krugman's cherry picked data.
Ok, good read canna.
Yup. This helped The middle class SOME. Roughly a 3% decrease in taxes. The other side to the argument is that it wasn't for the middle class it was for all taxpayers. Wealthy or not, so the argument is easily made that it benefited wealthy americans more. Most middle class americans do not benefit from a lower tax rate on dividends or capital gains. So this particular provision cannot be construed to be beneficial for us.
It is my opinion that this legislation was a successful attempt by our former dictator to redirect attention from his futile hunt for WMD's and such onto something that was lauded to help our economy. All the while spending unfunded exorbitant amounts of money on said hunt. This my friend is a very big factor in the sorry state our country is in today. Spending more money while cutting income is a recipe for disaster in any budget.
Not willing to give + rep on this one tho. Canna, and I have the utmost respect for you. This didn't help us PO' folks out much. Certainly not as much as it did the wealthy.
I met your challenge and you're weaseling on the +rep. My visage is saturnine. cn
