yourmomma 0 #102 September 1, 2010 "Why were the rates lowered? Tax cits" That is a simplistic and incorrect understanding of why interest rates went to historic lows. The stimulis plan that was the bush tax cuts did help it along but was far from "the" factor you made it out to be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The purpose for the tax cuts, GWB's, the fascist pig's, Harding/Coolidge, etc are to give the rich more power and control, the justification is that it actually helps the economy. Show me a major federal tax cut, esp since FDR with the new economy that represenst close to what we now have, that led to overall benefit. Show me the opposite; a tax increase that led to disaster. So you can take your so-called complex tax scenario and do with it what you want, but as with any science, you must test it and that's what I'm asking for - show me the test results that support your model. Again, use major federal cuts, anything can be proven in an abstract sense.
